John B. Gately Attorney & Counselor at Law Pro

I have been working with Jack for two years navigating my medical retirement, and I can't say I would have been successful in my case without his help nor can I say I would have endured without his compassion and encouragement. During the two years, I was sent through the MEB to be found fit by the PEB and return to duty. A second MEB was initiated and with Jack's help was rightfully finally found unfit. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable with the IDES process and, for lack of better words, just an outstanding guy. I have already recommended him to a friend and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Jack.

Working with Jack is an absolute must, in my opinion, if you are entering the IDES process for a service-connected disability. He is a true expert in the field and will guide you through every step of the process. He has a keen understanding of the requirements to get you the benefits you deserve- worth every penny and well-vetted through many of my friends and fellow service members who have used his services over the years.

Helpful and empathic through a complex and opaque military process. Very knowledgeable and experienced. Timely responses and had appropriate availability for me. Involved me in making decisions about strategy.

Jack is an absolute professional well worth your trust and confidence, I would recommend him to any service member who needs representation for disability claims. When I received notification of my medical board, I reached out to several friends about representation. They all recommended Jack! On the first call with Jack he laid out a clear plan on how we, as a team, would tackle the board process. I kept to the plan we set and came out the other side with the accurate findings and disability determination. Without Jack's guidance, I am certain I would have come out of the process with missing diagnoses and an inaccurate finding. Jack is worth every penny.

I worked with Mr. Gately on my active duty IDES case from the very beginning of the process. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend contacting him as soon as you sense you need proper legal representation. Mr. Gately was extremely knowledgeable during every step of the process and helped me win my case! If you are on the fence about hiring legal help, invest in yourself and just do it. I would not have been able to achieve the result I did without Mr. Gately’s help. A true professional who is excellent at his craft, I am extremely grateful for this man.

As a medical officer, and client who needed his services, I have to say that Jack got me everything I earned in my IPEB Medical Retirement. He is possibly the most experienced in these cases out of most attorneys I've seen online. I used him because I saw all of the wonderful work he has done for patients of mine in their retirements, and he did not disappoint with my case. I highly recommend him for any case you need help on. He can help you regardless of the service branch you're in.

Couldn't ask for a better attorney for military cases and veteran benefits. Won my medical case after going all the way to the IPEB board. After my medical discharge I got 90% with the VA. Much better outcome than expected.

Upon first inquiry John “Jack” Gately answered my message and showed his wealth of knowledge and experience in the IDES process. Subsequently, I hired Jack to be my private counsel and I could not have made a better decision or investment. He was available days, nights, and weekends to help me understand what was happening and meet deadlines. There were obstacles during this process that I could not have overcome without him. Jack and his wife are great humans and wish nothing but the best for all their clients.

I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Gately. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication truly stood out. He provided clear and effective communication throughout the process, ensuring I understood every step of my case. Thanks to his hard work and strategic approach, I achieved a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Mr. Gately to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I have the privilege of having Attorney Gately representing me for my IDES-PEB, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. From the very beginning, Attorney Gately took the time to thoroughly explain my options and developed a clear plan of actions. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the law and complex IDES matters. Even when unexpected obstacles arose, he handled them with professionalism and wisdom, always keeping me informed. Thanks to his hard work, my case was resolved favorably. I highly recommend Attorney Gately to anyone in need of IDES legal assistance— he will truly have your back.
