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.

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.

I worked for five years in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Helicopter mechanic crew chief. I found this law firm through a Google search. My experience with Mr. Mermell and his associates was absolute tier 1 caliber for providing me excellent legal services on my DBA case. The lawyers that I dealt with we...re knowledgeable and easy to get a hold of. They answered my questions and helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life with compassion and understanding. I feel very lucky that I found the right lawyers at the right time. I never would’ve been able to get through this without these lawyers on my side. I highly recommend Mr. Mermell and his law firm to anyone injured in Afghanistan or Iraq. There are not that many lawyers that know this law and you would be doing yourself a great service if you hire this law firm to handle your DBA case.

My friend referred me to Mr. Mermell and the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. I had never hired a lawyer before in my life. I was nervous to go down this road, but I had seriously injuries and needed help. Mr. Mermell and his staff set me up right from the start. He made the experience very... simple and he made me feel comfortable. I was always well informed and prepared for each step of the case. He helped me get my payments and my medical care. In the end, he got me a settlement that I was not expecting. I am very happy with the way my case went and I am highly recommending Mr. Mermell to any workers involved with a DBA worker’s compensation case.

Mr. Mermell and his partner David Pacheco handled my Defense Base Act case. These lawyers are very aggressive against the insurance company, but they were very nice and patient with me. They made deliberate moves that showed me that they know exactly what they are doing. Whenever my checks were st...opped, they got them started right back up again. They stayed in contact with my psychiatrist and therapist so that they were up to date on my medical situation. In the end, they guided me to a mediation where they exceeded my expectations with a very large settlement. I cannot say enough good things about these lawyers and their staff.
