Injured overseas? Get these lawyers for your DBA case!

Clifford Mermell and his law firm handled my Defense Base Act Case. I was injured in Somalia and Nigeria. I had a very complicated case and I had a prior lawyer that could not get the job done. Mr. Mermell’s firm took everything over for me. They fought hard for me and handled the case the way I ...wanted. They got me all of the compensation that was owed to me in the past, and then they got me a settlement better than I expected. I have spread the word about this firm to everyone I know who is working overseas. Thank you to Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco!!

Satisfied client of Gillis Mermell & Pacheco wins huge settlement.

I developed PTSD as a result of my working overseas. Mr. Mermell and his firm handled my case. It was not an easy case. It was denied by the insurance right from the start. My lawyers fought hard and won for me a big settlement. I have recommended them to eight coworkers who are working overseas ...now and returning with similar injuries. I feel very lucky that I found Mr. Mermell and I truly appreciate what he did for me.

Pay attention to your DBA case and hire these lawyers. It is so worth it!

I knew nothing about the DBA. A buddy of mine steered me to this firm. Once they got a hold of my case, they went straight to work and educated me and set me up with my medical and my compensation. Mr. Mermell talked to me on my first day and set me straight. Everything went as he said it would. ... I am truly surprised by how well this firm did for me and my family. I feel that they surpassed my expectations in every way. I highly recommend this firm to anyone injured overseas.

Great DBA lawyer for PTSD from working as drone operator overseas

I was referred to this law firm from another lawyer who said these lawyers are the best in the business. He turned out to be correct. I was professionally guided and kept informed at every step of my DBA case. I had an insurance company that denied my claim. These lawyers fought hard for me and won m...y case. These lawyers helped me get through a very difficult time suffering with PTSD and denial. In the end, I am very satisfied with my result, which exceeded my expectation. I am recommending these lawyers to my contacts who are working overseas.

Defense Base Act Lawyer cuts through red tape and gets the job done!

I was working in Intel on a DOD contract overseas when I got injured. I knew of the DBA, but I heard it was full of potholes and not easy to manage. I was in no condition to handle it on my own. I researched on the internet and found this law firm of Gillis Mermell & Pacheco. I am thankful that I... did. My lawyer guided me through the mind fields and educated me and kept me informed all the way. I got a great result and got it done much quicker than I thought. If you are injured overseas, I strongly urge you to contact these guys. You will be pleasantly surprised at how well they will handle your case!
