Ms. Olesky took on the task of my difficult Defense Base Act case after my doctor had released me prematurely from back surgery. She fought for me and kept fighting for me. I felt like I had no hope left in my case as the insurance company was fighting me so hard. But she kept fighting and finally made them pay me a large settlement and I got what I deserved for my case. I was referred by a co worker to this law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco, and now I am referring my co workers to this firm because they did such amazing work for me.

The firm and Ms.Olesky were very friendly and understanding. They made my DBA case very simple and easy to get through. Ms. Olesky was very informative and very nice to talk to. She was a pleasure to deal with. This firm and my attorney nailed the result, blew it out of the water.

Ms. Olesky is a very professional attorney, and I highly recommend anyone with a Defense Base Act claim to come see her and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. She will guide you in the right way.

The experience with the law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco and Ms. Olesky was out of this world. I was going through a very hard time and this firm was a God send. I would recommend anyone who is serving our country overseas who needs help, guidance and protection from the insurance companies in a Defense Base Act case, to contact my lawyers at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco, They will do a great job for you. They far exceeded my expectation.

Ms. Olesky was absolutely wonderful, understanding, punctual, patient and really acted like she cared and did a great job in handling my Defense Base Act case. It was my pleasure to work with such a wonderful law firm and a gracious staff of paralegals and lawyers at Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco. Even the secretary that always answers the phone was just as sweet as she could be. I thought I would get on their nerves with as much as I called, but I never did. My result was more than I could have dreamt of and I am recommending this firm to anyone, especially overseas contractors injured on the job.

Ms. Olesky was a pleasure to work with and was very upfront and truthful about what to expect in my Defense Base Act case. She told me what she was going to do, and then she made it happen. My case had some curve balls, but she always calmed me down and took my calls and emails and got back to me so that I did not need to worry further. I am very happy with the outcome. I am spreading the word about Ms. Olesky and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco for all the contractors working overseas. This is the place to go for a DBA case for injuries in Afghanistan, Iraq or anywhere overseas.

Very smart aggressive. Handled my business in a timely manner. This is a woman lawyer who does what she says she is going to do. All around awesome lawyer. She handled my Defense Base Act case for injuries sustained in Afghanistan.

I was working in Kuwait and I was injured in a car crash. This law firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco handled my Defense Base Act case. My experience with this firm was great. They really care for their clients. I needed a loan and they got it for me. I really appreciate what you guys have done for me. Ms. Olesky was very concerned about me. She fought tooth and nail for me. Whenever she saw a problem, she would not let it go until it was resolved. I felt like I was the only case, not just another case with this firm. Everyone in this firm made me feel that way.

I hired this firm following an overseas injury and couldn't be happier with the results. I felt they were very concerned about my condition and very informative through the process. Do NOT let attorney Kara Olesky's youthful appearance fool you. She is a highly professional and highly skilled attorney who knows exactly how to negotiate for her clients. I will continue to refer clients to her in the future, because I felt I was very well taken care of.

I was injured in Afghanistan, came home for treatment and found a different attorney who was careless and selfish, the insurance was threatening to stop my benefits and my attorney didn't care. I luckily found the Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco law firm, from day one attorney Oleskey took ownership of my case, she fought for me until she brought the insurance to the settlement table and she did settle my case in my favor. I was pretty shocked with the result. On the mediation day the opposing counsel could not even talk in front of attorney Oleskey. Attorney Oleskey is very professional, very confident on what she is doing/saying. She always prepared me for my doctor's appointments and IMEs. Always responsive. I highly recommend attorney Oleskey and their law firm Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco for all the DBA cases. In my opinion nobody is as qualified as these folks when it comes to DBA. Thank you attorney Oleskey for all your help you Rock!
