Best lawyer. Best firm. Best staff. Whenever my wife got anxious on my case, I just called my lawyer and he calmed me and her down. This lawyer knows how to handle Defense Base Act cases. He has been doing it for a long long time and he knows what to say and what to do in any situation that we fa...ced. I am impressed. I am recommending this firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to my colleagues who are injured in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. You need a lawyer that knows how to handle this type of case. This lawyer does just that. He got me an incredible result.

I was injured in Iraq. When I came home, I got with a lawyer that did not know what he was doing. I finally got the sense to switch. I found Mr. Mermell and his law firm on the internet. I am glad that I did. These lawyers did more for me in six months than my previous lawyer did in six years. ...They turned everything around for me and got me a fantastic result. I am 100% satisfied with Mr. Mermell and his law firm. I only wish I got to them sooner. If you have a Defense Base Act case, I urge you to switch to this law firm as soon as you can. You will be impressed with the results. For me it was night and day.

Mr. Mermell handled my longshore claim. I have been working at the Port of Miami for 24 years. This was only my second claim. Mr. Mermell also handled my first claim. He did so good for me the first time around, that I knew to go back to him as soon as I was injured. He came through for me again..., big time. For anyone injured on the port, I recommend Mr. Mermell for all longshore injuries.

I was injured in Afghanistan. A coworker who also was injured there referred me to Mr. Mermell. Mr. Mermell and his staff handled my Defense Base Act case with great care and exceeded my expectations in every way. His assistant Ms. Vega was on point. I highly recommend Mr. Mermell to any contractor... injured in Afghanistan.

Mr. Mermell and his firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco handled my Defense Base Act case. He is experienced and knowledgeable. He led me in the right direction. I feel confident with his recommendations. I got a great settlement that allowed me to move on with my life. Highly recommend this lawyer... and his firm to help workers who are injured in Afghanistan or anywhere overseas.
