I had no idea what to do after I got injured in Afghanistan where I was working as a camera center operator. I looked up lawyers that handle Defense Base Act cases on the internet, and I went through a bunch of them and then chose this law firm because they were up front with me whenever I called an...d I felt comfortable with the lawyer when I explained my situation. They did not flake on me like several of the other lawyers I spoke with. I was satisfied with the answers I was given on the phone on my initial consult and my lawyers expedited getting things started. You guys did a solid job. Earned my trust right off the bat being honest with me and ultimately got me a great result. I would highly recommend the services of this law firm to any injured party coming back from an injury in Iraq or Afghanistan.

When I first came home from my injury in Afghanistan, I was confused and did not know who to turn to. But after contacting Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco and speaking with Mr. Mermell and the staff and after my options was explained to me by Mr. Mermell, I felt a little more comfortable and over the few ...months that Mr. Mermell handled my case, I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable and I am 100% satisfied with every process taken. I recommend Mr. Mermell and his firm to any of my friends and family with any type of legal questions or concerns, especially Defense Base Act cases for civilian men and women injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.

After struggling to find a lawyer for two years, I was so so pleased to find this law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. There are very few lawyers who know how to handle a case for someone injured on a military base under the non-appropriated funds Act. You guys were like my heating pad to the pai...n in my back. I am a teacher and was working for the Navy and I injured my back while trying to catch a baby from falling to the floor. I was very pleased with the result because you guys were able to get a settlement amount that I never expected. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone injured on a military base. The staff is excellent. They were calling me all the time, making sure I was OK and very concerned about my case.

I was injured on the job and a friend recommended me to Clifford Mermell. Once I spoke with his secretary and made an appointment, they immediately saw me and got me to a doctor that took good care of me. And see that I had got my compensation while I was out of work. And had to fight for me sever...al times and settled my case and I was a happy camper. And Liz, my paralegal, kept me informed of everything and made sure I went to all my doctor appointments and answered all the questions that I had to ask. Thank you Ms. Liz! I recommend this lawyer to anyone injured out at the port.

While working overseas as a law enforcement mentor/advisor, I was injured in the line of duty. This law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco, P.A. took care of me with a knowledgeable and professional staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a Defense Base Act Lawyer which is a very uniq...ue type of service.
