John B. Gately

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.

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.
