Mr. Mermell and his law firm handled my Defense Base Act case for injuries I sustained in Baghdad, Iraq. I was referred to Mr. Mermell from my friend who was also injured in Iraq. Mr. Mermell knows the DBA very well. He and his staff kept me informed of each event in my case and made my case very ...easy one me. I highly recommend Mr. Mermell and his law firm for overseas injuries in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Kuwait. This firm nailed it for me and will do the same for you.

I was injured while working as a heavy equipment mechanic on the Kunduz base in Afghanistan. My friend told me to go to the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco located in Miami, Florida. I live in Texas and was concerned that it was far from me. It turned out to be the right choice. They made m...e feel that they were right down the street. Always took my calls and responded to my emails. They guided me each step of the way, all the way to a great settlement. I am very happy with this firm and recommending them to anyone with a Defense Base Act claim.

Mr. Mermell is an incredibly sharp attorney who understands the Defense Base Act and how to win his client’s case. More than that, Mr. Mermell understands people. He understood that I was going through a very rough time with my case. I needed his protection and assurances and he gave them to me. ...Myself and my family are extremely grateful for Mr. Mermell and all he did to protect us and for the great result he got for us. He allowed us to get through a difficult time and come out on top. My expectations were far exceeded by the result Mr. Mermell got for me. I am recommending him to all of us who protect this country by working overseas. All of my colleagues and contractor buddies know about Mr. Mermell and my high recommendations for him.

I worked as a translator in Afghanistan. I was injured over there. My friend was represented by Mr. Mermell and he referred me to Mr. Mermell. I have thanked my friend because Mr. Mermell and his law firm did a great job for me. From beginning to end, I knew I was in great hands. These lawyers k...now how to handle this type of Defense Base Act claim. I was given very specific instructions and properly prepared for each situation in my case. My end result was way better than I had even hoped for. I am sending everyone I know to this law firm. I have already sent three friends who were injured in Afghanistan like I was. Thank you for what you did for me and my family. Sincerely.

I had the good fortune of being referred to the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco from a coworker who was injured in Afghanistan at the same base as me. I can say wholeheartedly that this firm is awesome and did me right. The lawyers and staff were gracious and patient with me as I went through som...e very tough times. I thought that I might have worn them down with how much I called. To the contrary, they always took my calls and treated me with respect. My settlement was much more than I could have hoped for. I am surprised by how well my lawyer did for me. It was much better than he told me from the beginning which was surprising to me. I am recommending this firm to my friends and co workers for anyone needing a lawyer who knows how to fight for your rights under the Defense Base Act. All you contractors working overseas heed what I am saying. If you are injured, this is where you need to be. God bless.
