Very professional. Everything he told me was exactly what was done and everything he projected came true. The staff, especially Ms. Gladis Vega was very helpful to me throughout my claim. On point.

Overall, I highly recommend Mr. Pacheco and Gillis, Mermell & PaCHECO law firm for Defense Base Act cases. I was injured while working overseas in Afghanistan.

This guy David Pacheco is a great longshore lawyer. He helped me in the past on another case so I came back. This time was just as good or better. This lawyer really knows the longshoremen laws and knows how to get the job done.

I highly recommend Mr. Pacheco and his law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to anyone injured at the port.
