I was a dock worker for international longshoremen association at the port of miami. I received an injury in 2006. I had no idea who to contact for my longshore claim. I talked to several people and I felt that Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco was the best law firm to handle my case. I can say that I have b...een with them for nine long years and I can say that they fought hard for me and took care of me all along the way. For any of you longshore workers out there that get injured on the job, you really need to contact my lawyers.

I am very satisfied with the job that Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco provided for me in my time of need. I started with another law firm at the beginning of my case, and throughout I was not kept informed of the procedures of my case. Once I switched to Gillis, Mermell I got a better response, a more p...rofessional response and attitude by the entire staff. After speaking with Mr. Mermell and Liz, I felt very confident that my case would be resolved in a very good outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone who needed assistance especially with Defense Base Act DBA cases and workers compensation cases

I have only been genuinely pleased three times in my life, once when I was married, two when my son was born and three the victorious end result of this case. I was working with the military overseas outside the wire. I was injured in the darkness of night in Afghanistan. Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco... brought me back into the daylight. I most highly recommend Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to defend me and those I care about at any time for any reason.

My experience with Mr. Mermell and the firm has been great. I was kept in the loop about my case and I felt my lawyers really cared about what happened with me overseas. They worked diligently and I will always keep them in mind in any other legal issue I have in the future. My case involved an in...jury in Afghanistan and these lawyers helped me with my Defense Base Act case. I would recommend this law firm to anyone injured in Afghanistan.
