I found the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco on the Internet. I was injured in Iraq while working as a security contractor. Once this firm got involved in my case, everything started to go well. I was with an attorney before them that did not know what he was doing. He let my case get into a... bad situation. The lawyers at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco met with my doctors and did the things they needed to do to turn my case around. They sat me down and explained the law to me and showed me what needed to be done to turn my case around. They really went the extra mile with me and I am grateful to them. I wish I had gotten them from the start but I did not know anything about the Defense Base Act or the good lawyers that do that work. Now that I know, I am recommending this firm to my colleagues overseas for any contractor injured in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Mr. Mermell and his law firm handled my Defense Base Act case for my injuries in Afghanistan where I worked as a translator. I am very happy with my lawyers who did a very good job for me. Always they took my called and were very patient with me with many questions I did have. I was treated very w...ell and believe I got a very good result because of my lawyers. I have sent these lawyers to anyone I know who is injued in Afghanistan like I was.

My lawyers went out of their way to help me through a very difficult situation. They really did an awesome job handling my Defesne Base Act case. I am grateful to my co worker who sent me to this firm as I did not know who to turn to out there. I know there are bad lawyers who take advantage of pe...ople, but not these guys. They really made me feel like they cared and looked out for my best interests throughout. My result was great. I have sent several of my co workers to them and have only had excellent feedback.

I like this firm because you all stayed up with it and kept me informed with everything. You guys made sure that I was taken care of and everything was on point. Didn't have any trouble with getting paid on time and going to the doctors. I am very satisfied with my settlement, and I appreciate ever...ything what you all did for me. I was injured overseas in Afghanistan while working as a contractor and found you guys from a co worker. Thank you again for the great job!

I cannot say enough great things about attorneys Clifford Mermell and David Pacheco who handled my Defense Base Act case. These lawyers had my back all the way through the case. They kept me informed and they actually educated me as I was lost when it came to this claim under the Defense Base Act. ... I am indebted to these lawyers and their staff who helped me each step of the way and got me a result that was beyond my expectations. I am recommending them to my co workers and friends who are still working overseas and to anyone needing a high quality Defense Base Act lawyer.
