John B. Gately

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Gately! I sent him a very difficult case to begin with and he won it on appeal after fighting with the military for 5 years. He was paid an agreed lump sum upfront and never came back to me for more money even after 5 years. He fought the military and the VA and won both cases. I have been retired since 2012 now and I am very glad I heard about him and used his services. He is worth every penny.

Retaining Mr. Gately (Jack) was the single wisest decision I made during my military medical retirement proceeding. He represented my case in an articulate, astute and highly professional manner. He thoroughly prepared my case, saw to it that my medical evidence was properly documented and my service-related injuries were justly assessed. To say he represented me successfully is an understatement: as a result of his efforts the formal MEB raised my disability rating from 10% to 80%. Recommended.

Mr. Gately is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. He goes out of his way to help, and is always accessible to thoroughly answer any questions. His attention to detail and persistence are unparalleled. I would recommend his services to friends, family, and associates.

My wife had to go through a medical board. We found Mr. Gately relatively late in the process, but he provided amazing support and insight throughout the informal and formal boards. In the end, he exceeded our expectations. It was difficult to have to watch my wife traverse such a difficult time, and I'm grateful for the anxiety-relieving guidance that we received.

Friendly and personable

John Gately was a prodigious and paramount asset when dealing with the VA and Navy upon my medical retirement. He helped navigate me through the appeals processes and with the medical retirement process when the VA messed up my physical for determination of benefits. Without hesitation I would and have recommended others to use his services. Because of John I won my appeal and the VA fixed their mistakes. Mr. Gately and his services were invaluable and worth the investment.

Worth his weight in gold. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to have been represented by Mr. Gately.
Thank you so much for everything.

Jack is an incredible attorney who is always thinking ahead and able to predict PEB/VA/SS reactions and moves to nullify them ahead of time.He is respected by the board members and is the best of the best. He is easily reached and responds to messages via fb, email, text, phone, quickly. He won all 3 cases, 4 yrs ago and is still taking care of my VA/SS needs. All for the initial fee. He is crafty and honest and gets positive results!

John Gately is professional and persuasive. He will give you an honest consultation with goals that you can expect. He fights for your rights as a disabled veteran or service member and gets the finding he predicted. I have retained him for a Navy PEB, VA benefits, and social security disability insurance claims and he has delivered results without any surprises. He is friendly, strong, and powerfully adamant when he needs to be. He is the best lawyer I have had in my corner.

John Gately is the real deal. My husband was put up for a medical board to be discharged from the military. We found Mr. Gately. He spoke with us at length about my husband’s case and took the case right away. Throughout the process, he was with us every step of the way. My husband’s medical boarding findings came back with a permanent disability retirement rating. It is good to have someone in your corner if you're on a medical board and John Gately is the person to have.
