David Pacheco is a very good lawyer. He explained step by step everything going on in the case. He won my case. His secretary Gladis is 100% professional. I recommend this lawyer to everybody who has an overseas Defense Base Act claim.

My experience first time suing an insurance company was quite an experience, but Mr. Pacheco handled it in a professional manner and was very knowledgeable about the laws and the Defense Base Act and all the tricks that the insurance company plays. He got me about seven times more than I thought I would get from my compensation case. I would recommend him and the firm of Gillis, Mermell & Pacheco to any expat working overseas.

I can tell you that I had a hard time to find a Defense Base Act lawyer. I felt good when I found Mr. Pacheco. He took good care of me and my case. I am very happy with the work that he did to get my case resolved.

Mr. Pacheco was very reliable attorney. He handled my longshoremen case very good. The insurance company tried to block my case based upon prior injuries. Mr. Pacheco set it right. He ended up getting me my benefits and a great settlement, better than I thought it would be. I am recommending him to other longshoremen injured at the port.

My overall experience with this law firm was excellent. I worked with people who cared about me, from the lawyers to the staff. Mr. Pacheco is a great lawyer and got me a great result. I am very satisfied with the way he handled my Defense Base Act case. He was diligent and kept me informed all the way through to the end. I would definitely recommend anyone that gets injured anywhere to come to this law firm...you will get a great result!

Working with this lawyer and this law firm, you cannot do any better than that. They helped me with my Longshore claim for injuries at the Port. They cared about me, they took care of all of my needs and got me a great result. I recommend this lawyer to any Longshoremen who get injured at work.

Outstanding representation. All my questions were answered. Excellent support staff. Gladis kept me informed and helped me and provided great support through the process which gave me peace of mind that I hired the right law firm. My result was beyond my expectations. Had I settled separately with the insurance company without the help of this law firm, it would have been the biggest mistake of my life. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is the best law firm you can hire to handle your Defense Base Act case.

David Pacheco and his staff, especially Maggie and Gladis, handled my case very seriously. He found all my doctors for me. I felt that he took care of me and everything for me. I was in contact with his office at least once a week when I had issues concerning medications or medical appointments or other things. The settlement was way higher than I expected. I would give Mr. Pacheco a 20 out of a scale of 1 - 10. I recommend all interpreters or workers who are injured while working in Iraq or Afghanistan or anywhere overseas to go see Mr. Pacheco. He has the experience to take your case from the bottom all the way to the top. He will exceed your expectations. He will keep you calm while you are waiting to get there.
