Interpreters Injured in Iraq or Afghanistan need to see my lawyer right from the start. You will be happy you did!

Mr. Mermell and his firm handled my Defense Base Act case. I was injured in Masul Iraq while working there as an interpreter. Mr. Mermell and his staff are the best in the business. I especially liked working with Maggie and Gladis. They took such good care of me and all of my fears and concerns ...were put to ease. Mr. Mermell got me my doctors. I did not even need to pick them. He did it for me. And they were very good doctors. The settlement that Mr. Mermell got me was unbelievable. I have already sent two of my co-workers to see Mr. Mermell. I think anyone injured while working overseas needs to go to Mr. Mermell. He knows how to get the job done!

We live in England and we hired the best American law firm for Defense Base Act cases for injuries in Afghanistan

Mr. Mermell and Mr. Pacheco handled the Defense Base Act case for myself and my father. They both did an amazing job. My father and I were both injured in Afghanistan. These lawyers and their staff gave us confidence right from the start. We had no idea about this law and the benefits. These law...yers really understand this law and explained it to us very well. Our fears were put at ease. Our cases were handled professionally and timely. We are very happy with the results that we got and we are recommending this firm to all persons injured overseas.

Longshore law firm working hard for their clients

This law firm took care of my longshore claim for injuries at the port. They treated me like family from the beginning to the end. Ms. Liz and Maggie were always right there when Ineeded them or had a question. I will refer any injujred longshoremen to this firm. They have my 100% approval.

Mr. Mermell is an awesome lawyer!! Great for DBA cases!!

I have never hired a lawyer before. I can tell you that my experience with Mr. Mermell and his firm Gillis Mermell and Pacheco was first class. Very professional, very detailed...and great result. My case was a Defense Base Act case for injuries while working in Kabul, Afghanistan. Mr. Mermell and ...his firm get my top recommendation to contractors injured overseas.

If you need a great Defense Base Act lawyer, I recommend this firm.

I am a translator and I was injured in Iraq. I went to one lawyer who gave me bad advice and delayed my case. My friend told me to try this law firm. I am very grateful to my friend. This firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco turned my case around. Their advices were perfect and set me on the right ...course. I got a great result and it is mostly because of the work of this law firm. I have recommended several friends and co workers to this firm and will continue to do so, especially for DBA injuries overseas like mine.
