John B. Gately

Once received the news that I would be going through the military medical board process, I knew I needed guidance. My father recommended Mr. Gately and I decided to give him a call. It ended up being the best decision I could make. He listened to my case and looked over all my files within that same week. He knew right away that I would have a case against the Coast Guard. Mr. Gately worked with me for 7 months and ultimately got me my deserved medical retirement rate. Thank you John!

A MUST HAVE ATTORNEY!!!!! Please call Mr. John B Gately!!! He has been my saving grace over this entire process of being medically retired from the Military. He has made this a quick and stress free process. Do not go this alone, let Mr. Gately help you. He is so knowledgeable of everything you will be going through. Whenever I needed help he has always been able to answer every question 110%. I would give him 10 out of 5 stars. Thank you Mr. Gately you are truly one of a kind!

Jack spent the time to deliberately decode the MED/PEB, VA process into reasonable segments. With Jack's help, he steered me away from incorrect advice from my PEBLO & DoD doctors. Not only did my final rating turn out better & more accurate than we had anticipated, he walked me through a successful appeal process. The tangible outcome is that the retainer I paid was the best return on investment I have made in my life and will financially help my family as I live with life-long disabilities.

With Mr. Gatley's expertise and knowledge I received better than anticipated results on my MEP/PEB and VA claims.

Jack Gately is an exceptional attorney that provided tremendous guidance and support to prepare for the Final Physical Evaluation Board. We met and discussed my case, he asked questions and I provided my election of counsel, permission to review medical records and Disability Benefit Questionnaires. He prepared my witnesses and myself for testifying and the result exceeded my expectations! He will assist me with final agency action and opm retirement and Veteran Affair exams and claim.

Jack Gately’s expertise and dedication to my case was exceptional. Jack represented me in my USCG FPEB. He diligently worked with me on my case, which made for an excellent outcome. He will make the difference in your case and provide unparalleled knowledge on the subject matter. I was offered 10% disability with severance pay and now I have 80% disability with retirement. I honestly can’t thank Jack enough. He changed my family’s life forever, for which I am truly grateful.

Altruistic. Dedicated. Brilliant planner. Amazing preparation and improv skills. John "Jack" Gately, became a mentor to my wife and myself. He stopped at nothing. QUICK STORY: He was severely injured and foregone the option to push the case back. He literally grin and beard a severely injured foot and showed up to the board with a boot and cane under severe pain. He will stop at NOTHING. He cares much like a father or big brother. He's the best you'll get. He's about wining for you.

Jack is a great asset to have on your team. He helped me with my Coast Guard disability claim and won my case. By the ends of my hearing the Coast Guard's representative's closing argument was that they agreed with his closing argument. Within 30 minutes we had a decision and it was exactly what we had asked for. Jack is an invaluable asset and a genuinely good person. Don't think twice about hiring him, you need him in your corner.

My initial goal was to be found unfit (PTSD) at the Navy PEB. I was shocked when I found out that I had been found fit. I called Jack and he agreed to work with me. He helped me gather medical and nonmedical evidence and submitted a reconsideration request. The USN reversed their decision without the need for a formal hearing. I was placed on TDRL at 50%.
At my first TDRL review the USN proposed to move me from 50% TDRL to 30% PDRL. I did not accept and requested a formal hearing. We did not even finish presenting our case and the board members agreed that I should stay at 50% and moved to PDRL!
The IDES process is stressful. It gave me a piece of mind knowing that Jack was with us from the beginning to the end. Without him I would not be in this situation. My income would have decreased and my family would not have TRICARE. He is extremely knowledgeable and worth every penny.

WOW! Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. I appointed Jack as my attorney once my IPEB results were in. Pricing is very fair & covers the entire process w/ no hidden fees. Jack took me thru the FPEB process & 1 time VA recon (VARR). Won the case with 100%(VARR)/40% (FPEB) retirement w/out even traveling to the board! The outcome was better than I had imagined. Jack is SUPER knowledgeable & his prepared docs are flawless. You WON'T be disappointed w/ Jack & can't do it w/out him, I promise!
