We believe the best way for you to judge our attorneys is by knowing what our clients say about how their case was handled by the lawyers at The Law Offices of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco, P.A.
“Mr. Mermell, and all of his staff were so knowledgeable of what I needed to have my case completed in a timely manner. They made sure that I was comfortable at all times dealing with my pain and injury. His staff kept me informed of everything that was going on. Even though I was still overseas the time of my injury and had surgeries there. They took care of me ten thousand miles away. To anyone out there that is in need of good representation, please give Mr. Mermell and his staff a call ASAP. My name is Jonathan, and I approve this statement.”
I worked in Turkey as a translator. I was injured in 2018. Mr. Mermell and his son handled my Defense Base Act case. They did an amazing job for me. My case was difficult and the insurance company tried to deny me everything. Mr. Mermell did not let that happen. He won my case. I got a great settlement. I am recommending Mr. Mermell to all overseas workers who get injured on the job like me.
