Great DBA lawyer for injuries in Qatar

Wayne was very considerate of my DBA case and how sensitive the subject was. He was able to communicate very clearly and concisely the details of my DBA case while being sensitive to my particualr facts. He gave me realistic expectations, and then he far exceeded them and got me a fantastic settlem...ent. I recommend Wayne to anyone who needs a great DBA lawyer.

My recent positive experience with my DBA lawyer Wayne Russell at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco law firm

Wayne was excellent from start to finish as far as support for me and my claim. I was deployed in multiple countries overseas. When I was injured, I started my DBA case with this law firm that was recommended to me. Despite me moving around, Wayne was able to find me multiple physicians and keep t...rack of my records and keep me informed of my case. Whenever I had questions, he always answered them promptly. He did a great job of coordinating the case with all parties and moving my case forward. The final result was very positive and exceeded my expectations. I am recommending Wayne to others in similar situations.

Cutting red tape to get to Green check in a Defense Base Act case

After getting injured serving on a DOD contract overseas, I heard about the DBA. I was told it was a good law but that it had a lot of land mines that could throw you off if you were not careful. I did not have the legal expertise nor the right frame of mind to deal with that while trying to recove...r from my injuries. Thankfully after searching on line, I was able to find my way to this law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco and I was connected specifically to Wayne Russell, Esq. Working with Wayne was great. He was very clear about what to expect. He was very responsive to my calls. He clearly communicated where we were at with the insurance company and what my rights were within the law. I am convinced that had I not hired this law firm, I would have misstepped somewhere along the way and would not have received the favorable outcome that I did get. Though I would never want anyone to be injured overseas, if you are, I would strongly recommend these guys to help you out with your Defense Base Act case.

My Defense Base Act lawyer exceeded my expectations!

Wayne Russell was professional from my first interaction and throughout the entire case and even after resolution. I reached out to the firm to seek representation for my Defense Base Act claim and was assigned to Wayne. He walked me through the entire process and ensured that I knew each detail an...d time line to expect as well as the most favorable to the least favorable outcome. Wayne was upfront and honest the entire time. Wayne obtained a settlement that exceeded my expectations and I am referring my colleagues to him for their DBA claims.
