John B. Gately

Jack Gately represented me while I was on active duty for an admin discharge board. He was very savvy and new his stuff. Through his tenatious work, I was able to finish my military career and retire with an honorable discharge. I would highly recommend him as an attorney. Thank you Mr. Gately

John has helped my son and I through the Medical Discharge process with the Coast Guard and I would have to say there is no way we would have made it through with out him. There is no road map and the Coast Guard provide little if any guidance. John made sure we knew what to expect and what we had to do to be successful. He also made sure my son's benefits were properly categorized as "Combat Related".

Mr. Jack Gately is a dedicated professional that worked with me from before inception, even prior to my MEB, through my PEB (effectively obtaining two significant increases to both my DoD and VA ratings), and will continue to advise and guide me throughout my period on the TDRL. His service is simply to do whatever it takes to complete the missionnot the typical &under; hours that other attorneys would provide. I highly recommend his services and would gladly speak to anyone at length if there is d

Mr. Gately was very personable and professional. A joy to be around and be represented by. He was able to take my case and be successful in minimal time.

The absolute most wonderful attorney possible. He spent so much time on my case, and honestly became one of my great friends. My family loves him as well for taking such good care of us. I would be totally lost without his assistance. And we won! We won big!

Best phone call we ever made! Jack Gately knows more about the MEB process and the VA than anyone else you will ever meet. As a reservist hurt on active duty, I had been in a limbo status/fight with my unit for years - no pay no points. Hiring Jack got the ball rolling. He told us exactly what to expect, coached us through every step, and got us through the process with an outcome far better than I ever expected. He also became a very good friend! Don't waste another day Call Jack now.

Can't stress it enough. Get an attorney BEFORE you enter the MEB/PEB process. Mr. Gately provided me the right information on time, so the outcome of my case was what was right for me. Mr. Gately treated me with professionalism, promptness and was right on the money with his advice. He knew more than my PEBLO. Highly recommend.

At a time where assistance was sparse and fear of the unknown abundant, finding Jack provided a beacon of hope. Throughout this entire process of reviewing years of medical files, preparing documentation, and attending the med board, Jacks knowledge of the Coast Guard is unmatched. At the hearing he proved his medical knowledge and terminology resulting in positive increase in my retirement offering. I cannot write enough accolades about Jack.

John Gately represented me 2 times for Military Medical Boards. He was very well prepared for both cases. He made what would have been a very difficult case to win with the JAG Lawyer, previously provided to me, a simple case. {para}I highly recommend Jack Gately and have been passing his number on to anyone in need.

Hiring John Gately was the best decision I ever made in my military career. John Gately displayed superior knowledge with the U.S. Coast Guard Physical Evaluations Board especially with Reserve members. Mr. Gately will also provide assistance with the VA Disability Claim for all members. If you are in doubt about Military counsel or just lost in the whole Medical Board process then Mr. Gately is your man. Mr. Gately will fight for you until get you the benefits that you deserve!
