John B. Gately

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr. Gately is extremely well versed in Military Disability Law. I unequivocally recommend him for the toughest cases. His professional presence, demeanor, and expertise are unparalleled. I hired Mr. Gately for my case in 2008. Having Mr. Gately on my team resulted in my being retained in the military. I am still active duty and Mr. Gately continues to represent me. If you have a case, I very strongly recommend Mr. Gately.

Being at the lowest point in my life dealing with a medical injury during my service in the military, I didn't know where to turn. After extensive research, I found Jack. My family and I were so frustrated with the process of the Navy and Jack gave us hope. His knowledge and experience is undeniable. His dedication and support to military members goes way beyond a business aspect. Best decision I have ever made! I wouldn't be in the position I am today without his help. Hooyah!

I can’t thank Mr. Gately enough! At first I was skeptical about hiring a lawyer to represent me during my Medboard. I now know it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Going through this MED BOARD process I was treading or better yet drowning in a world of uncertainty, misunderstanding, and confusion. It felt like I had to be part doctor, lawyer and MED Board subject matter expert. Luckily for me, I had Mr. Gately on my side. We met, he reviewed and advised me on my case. He delivered

Hiring Jack allowed me to regain some peace of mind during this stressful process. Jack, listened and was accommodating to my medical conditions by meeting me face to face even on weekends and he carefully considered what was best for my family and me. Jack has a great overarching knowledge of this whole complex system, the many players, the ever changing doctrinal landscape that allowed him to successfully navigate a dramatic increase in my DoD ratings. And for that I will be always grateful.

I found Jack after an extensive search. He was easily the most knowledgeable and responsive attorney I had spoke with. Jack was there throughout the entire process, knew every move to make, and all the players involved. He helped me with my MEB case and everything I had going on with the VA. Jack is well worth retaining to get everything you deserve from the DoD.

I was referred to Mr Gately by a fellow servicemember who was being medically retired, so when I was preparing to retire I contacted the counselor. Retirement was delayed a year and Mr Gately waited patiently and, when the time came, led me through the process better than I could've navigated it. I was very pleased with the results of the VA claim and will continue to use his services in the future.
