John B. Gately Attorney & Counselor at Law Pro

Do your future self a favor and hire Jack Gately. He is 1000% worth the investment in your own future. He was always available when I needed him and could dissect complexity to provide you with clear advice. He's a fighter and a winner.

I had an exceptional experience with Jack Gately. His expertise, compassion, and dedication were evident throughout my case. He communicated effectively, provided valuable guidance, and ultimately achieved a favorable outcome for my MEB. I highly recommend his services for anyone seeking a skilled and reliable legal professional. What stood out most for me was his transparency. From the start, he explained the legal process clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and openly discussed potential challenges. This transparency fostered trust, making the entire experience smoother, especially when the MEB process can be very complicated and confusing. I appreciate his commitment to keeping me well-informed throughout, a quality that truly sets him apart. Additionally, with me being located in Germany and Mr. Gately in the U.S., this time difference could have added additional challenges, however he was very flexible made himself available based on my schedule.

Mr. Gately did an incredible job of addressing my case with a very favorable outcome. I appreciate his time and dedication to his practice and couldn’t recommend him or his services more strongly. Thank you, again.

Working with Mr. Gately was the best decision I could have ever made. I initially tried handling my legal situation myself and quickly learned not all attorneys have your best interest in mind when representing you. Mr. Gately was beyound any doubt the attoney who puts his all into his clients, and I trully needed it! If I ever need another attorney or addiditional legal advice he will be the first person I turn to! Lastly, Mr. Gately reaffirmed everything I knew about the VA system and added his expertise where I had gaps within the system. Further, when a situation should have been straight forward and wasn't, Mr. Gatley cut through the red tape and ensured I was prepared for any and every outcome!

John (Jack) was an amazing lawyer and helped to litigate my medical separation from the Army. He ensured that I achieved numerous victories and set well defined goals along the way. I have been officially retired from the Army now for about 3 months- the compensation he ensured I would receive has already paid for his legal services. I have suggested and will continue to suggest his services to anyone else having a similar experience.

Mr. Gately was extremely knowledgeable and professional. From the first day we knew it would be a positive experience when he took the time to review our case before jumping into any conclusions. He explained each step well was readily available when needed. We were always prepared and ultimately had a favorable outcome.

When we received an unexpected medical diagnosis and had to absorb the news that my husband (17+ years active duty Air Force at the time) would go through the PEB process we were entirely overwhelmed. Thank goodness for Jack and his experience and expertise! Jack's confidence and reassurance gave us the positive outlook and determination that we needed during a trying season. The bureaucratic tangle that service members must navigate in situations such as ours can be complicated, but Jack's knowledge base is so well established and extensive that we simply followed his lead, and I cannot overstate how much his guidance helped to alleviate our stress. In the end, because of Jack's stalwart support, we won!! We achieved the goals that we set out to accomplish and will receive the retirement compensation from the VA and the DOD that we hoped for. We recommend Jack's services with the utmost enthusiasm.

Absolutely Stellar Experience with Jack! Navigating through challenges both in health and career can be daunting, but having Jack by my side made all the difference. His tenacity, expertise, and genuine concern were evident from the start. With his assistance, I not only managed to find a clear path through my difficulties, but also secured a retirement pension and concurrent payment. Jack's unwavering dedication made what seemed impossible, possible. I wholeheartedly recommend his services and am deeply grateful for everything he has done for me. Five stars without a doubt!

I wanted to convey that without Jack's support, my stepson (USMC SSGT) would never have received his VA and DoD disability ratings which he was entitled. The military separation process for is hugely complicated and time consuming. Without Jack's specialized knowledge and guidance, we would NEVER have been able to navigate the DoD and VA bureaucracy. If you need help, reach out to Jack. Joe Ciano LtCol USMC Retired

During a lengthy PEB and BCNR process,  Jack Gately was the epitome of a consummate professional.  Jack’s meticulous scrutiny of my supporting documentation led him to discover that an injustice had occurred in my case and developed a plan to correct it. Once we developed that plan, he worked tireless hours and months to represent my case to the highest ability possible.  Ultimately, we were able to win at all stages of the rather byzantine BCNR and PEB process and secure a permanent disability retirement.  I would highly recommend Jack’s services to anyone going through the MEB or PEB processes.  He is a great steward of his craft and maintains a very high level of enthusiasm along the way.
