David Pacheco

Mr. Pacheco handled my Defense Base Act case for my injuries in Afghanistan. Every time I asked for Mr. Pacheco, I was able to reach him. He fought very hard for me. I didn't think he was going to be able to do what he did for me. I was surprised by how well he did for me. The staff was great to...o. I am recommending this firm to anyone injured overseas who needs a great DBA lawyer.

In 2012 I was injured overseas. I couldn't even lift my arm above shoulder level. I had one of the best surgeons in my area and after surgery and rehab, my strength and range of motion were vastly limited. The insurance company was calling and pushing me to settle. I didn't seem quite right. I g...oogled DBA lawyers and I left messages for two lawyers that never even called me back. After speaking with Liz at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco law firm, attorney David Pacheco called me back within 5 minutes and within 15 minutes of speaking with him on the phone, I chose for him to represent me in my case. Because of the games that the insurance company played, it took a little longer than we expected for the case to settle. However, once my case did settle, it settled in an amount that completely exceeded my expectations. So if any of you out there are questioning which Defense Base Act law firm to use, I would strongly recommend this top notch firm as number one in the business. The settlement has vastly changed my life in a good way and I feel financially secure moving forward. Special thanks to David Pacheco, Liz Mendez and Maggie for always promptly returning my calls and walking me through the process one step at a time every step of the way. What a pleasurable experience.

I was working in Iraq as a security contractor when I was injured. Attorney Pacheco picked up my case late and had to turn it around as it was not in very good shape. He met with all my doctors and went the extra mile. He sat down with me and explained the details of the Defense Base Act law to me.... He always took my calls and answered my questions. He got me a great result for my case. I highly recommend him to any contractor injured overseas who has to deal with these tough insurance companies.

After being injured while working in Afghanistan, I reviewed several DBA attorneys and then went with this law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. The entire firm was very easy to work with and answered my questions in a timely manner. They got me a satisfactory result in a short amount of time on a... difficult case. I am confident in referring co workers and friends to this firm.

David Pacheco and the staff, especially Gladis, worked hard for me in my Defense Base Act case. They were there for me every step of the way. They put my fears to rest and basically held my hand throughout my case making sure that I got the best medical care an compensation for my case. In the end..., Mr. Pacheco negotiated a very favorable settlement for me. I could not be happier with my choice of lawyers Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. If you are injured overseas you need to get my lawyers for Defense Base Act case.
