John B. Gately Attorney & Counselor at Law Pro

There are no words of gratitude that would fully express the appreciation I have for Mr. Gately. After an 18-year military career the military was preparing to early medical retirement. During our initial consultation, Jack set the conditions up front by being 100% honest with expectations and NEVER misled or gave me false hopes....it was going to be a challenge but he would be there to fight for me. During this entire med board process, he always ensured I was well informed of how things were moving along, or if I had a questions or concerns, I could depend on him to return my calls almost immediately. Again, throughout this entire process if I had anything such as medical evaluations, commander recommendation letter, etc., he would immediately update it to my packet to make sure everything was 100% . I received my board results and the outcome was positive. Mr. Gately experience in this area and his unwavering dedication to his clients makes him an amazing MEB attorney.

I was referred to Mr. Gately from a coworker back in 2016. A few days ago everything was finally finalized. He educated and guided me for almost 3 years. His advice was spot on and everything turned out better than expected. He was always pleasant to speak to and Ill recommend Jack to everyone that needs legal assistance!

Mr. Gately is extremely professional and knowledgeable in his areas of practice. The communication is always there when its needed and there the task gets done. The expense of a private attorney is well worth the services that are received and then some. Mr Gately has been working on my case for over 5 years. If you want less then the best and are OK with settling or being intimidated into settling in your legal affairs then Mr. Gately is not for you, stick with JAG.

Jack is an amazing attorney- treats you like family he has known his entire life from the start. When my MEB started I didn't know where to turn, luckily I found Jack. Throughout, I was asked, where I found him bc I hired the best attorney in the business. I learned he was absolutely right. When the MEB/FPEB & SAFPC put obstacles in the way he knocked them down. He fights hard to get what you deserve until the very end, regardless the time it takes. From beginning to end, Jack is like family.

My experience working with "Jack" Gately through the MedBoard process has been excellent. His assistance, guidance and knowledge has been essential throughout my process. With my 14 years of service coming to an end, I am at peace knowing the outcome was the best I could hope for because I had his guidance. If you are going through a similar situation, don't hesitate to retain his services.

I highly recommend the legal services of John “Jack” Gately Attorney & Counselor. “Jack” assisted me with a PDBR case and he expeditiously got results in approximately 6 months. I had been fighting for my medical disability retirement from the USAF all by myself for years. Just when I was ready to give up a dear friend (retired Navy Vet) recommended Jack. Jack totally understood the MEB and PDBR process, and knew what docs I needed to be successful. We won my PDBR case! ~Medically retired USAF

Invest the money, it's worth it! Achieving more money was not my intention for going through an Air Force MEB, but Jack increased my monthly retirement earnings by nearly 100%. Even with helpful doctors and commanders, I was underprepared to handle my MEB process until I hired Jack. Along with the written documentation he handled, he also guided me through the specific wording needed to convey my injuries to VA/USAF doctors. Great guy, makes the process easier and worth the investment.

Investing in Jack Gately has yielded unmeasurable reward. He not only secured favorable outcome from a physical disability review but he was also able to overturn an unjust non-judicial punishment NJP through the board of naval record corrections. He is cunning, knowledgeable and compassionate. I've worked with him on this for over 7 years and know him to be reliable, available, friendly and someone that I trust and admire deeply. My 4 children, wife and I are forever greatful.

Top Notch Attorney! Mr. Gately's technical knowledge of the PEB and the VA process is priceless. As a senior military officer the Surgeon's office advised me my injuries would not be boarded. His wealth of military experience combined with high ethical standards allowed me to navigate both the Military and VA medical boards. The result was a 100% Military and VA rating. His commitment to my case, myself and my family was also 100%. I highly recommend you make Mr. Gately part of your team.

Mr Gately was recommended by a Veteran who had utilized his extremely competent services resulting in 100 Percent permanent and total Military Disability retirement. I had been lied to by my servicing medical unit that despite my multitude of medical issues that I ineligible for MEB process and since I was close to retirement I should go see the VA after. Mr. Gately's skills earned my commanders support and despite complete AFR medical incompetence my MEB was permanent 100 medical retirement.
