John B. Gately Attorney & Counselor at Law Pro

Very pleased with the quality of service provided by Me. Gately. He kept me motivated when I wasn't. He understood the process and helped me navigate through it.

Jack was a real God-send for me. From the start of my frustrating medical issues, Jack prepared me to face the impending military medical evaluation board and mentored me on how to stand up to medical folks who created unnecessary roadblocks or did not take my issues seriously. He is very thorough, experienced, and knows more about the MEB process than my doctors and commanders. I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my case. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about his clients.

I reached out to John "Jack" B. Gately during my Medical Board process back in 2012, an extremely low point in my life. Jack listened to all of my issues, concerns and goals for the outcome of the MEB/PEB. Through Jack's watchful and communicative guidance and because of his extensive knowledge of Military/VA Law, my tax-free Army retirement pay was MAXED out at 75% and I was granted a 100% VA rating with 90% of it deemed Combat Related. I will be forever thankful to Jack, the best there is!

I first contacted John once I was notified by my providers that I was going to be put up for a MEB. I quickly began to research different lawyers with proper experience. Upon doing my search a few things that stood out to me about john was he offered free consultation, honest outcome possibilities, his response to those outcomes, knowledge of guidelines of all branch services and common mishaps during the IDES process, ETC. Most importantly he is always an email, text, or phone call away. Thanks

Military Law. I went to the JAG lawyers and rest reassured that my case will win in my favor as a result of all my injuries and also the VA has me at 100% rating. After attending court with the JAG lawyers, I was stunned at how the hearing went. I did not feel that my rights were being protected. After the hearing, I received a letter from the board stating severance. That’s when I found Mr. Gately. I am impressed by how knowledgeable he is and also quickly I learn my predicament. WE WON

He is a great lawyer and knows his facts! He was able to get me the rating I deserved and continues to help me now even after 10 years have gone by. He cares about what happens to me and my family and continues to fight for me even now. I am so grateful to have him in my corner. He is like a dad to me now watching over my family to make sure the VA continues to do what is right for me. I am so thankful to have found such a caring and compassionate lawyer who will fight for me.

I worked with Mr. Gately on my MEB case he was very knowledgeable in all aspects of my case. I highly recommend him to anyone going through a MEB case.

Jack, You have been such a phenomenal resource for my wife and I from day one. When I reached out to you, I was in a very low place in my life. Your calm demeanor, expertise, and empathy gave me hope that we could achieve a desired outcome together. You have delivered and I’ll be forever greatful! Cheers.

I am in the Coast Guard and was having exceptional career and then was faced with an injury and had to go through the Med Board process that was very stressful and was not sure who to contact. Than I talked to somebody who highly suggested Mr. Gately after contacting him I was confident that I made the right decision and the anxiety went away. Mr. Gately is extremely knowledgeable in the process. If faced with a Med Board contact him today you will not be disappoint.

Working with John was the key to my medical board success. We worked together and reached a very favorable outcome for myself. My PEBLO stated he'd never seen a case come back from the board so favorable for the service member. John's site has a wealth of information, spend some time reading all the information he's put out for free and you'll learn a lot.
