“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.”

“From the start, David Pacheco was always diligent in meeting my needs. Upon my leaving Iraq in 2018 with a serious injury, I was referred to David to handle my DBA case by a co-worker who had hired David as his lawyer for his DBA case. David is an outstanding DBA lawyer working for a firm that I highly recommend to anyone injured overseas. From start to finish, David and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco was outstanding and got me an amazing result.”

“I hired Mr. Mermell for my Defense Base Act case. He handled that like a champion. then he took it one step further. He put together a case for me under the Anti Terrorism Act. He hit a homerun for me under that law. I am still in shock at how well this lawyer did for me and six of my co-workers.
