John B. Gately

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and experienced in the extreme, John Gately is the expert you want on your side. You won't find a better attorney when it comes to military disability law. If you're currently or about to go through a med board, or are already out and now dealing with VA disability claims, do your future self a huge favor and HIRE THIS MAN. You've spent your military years fighting for others. You deserve to have a legal expert fight for you.

If you are going through a PEB or MEB, you will want Jack as your representation. Jack helped guide me through exactly whhich types of documentation I needed from my employer, physicians and family members. His casework preparation was clearly presented to the board in such a way that when I got to DC for my formal hearing, I did not even need to testify in front of the board before they decided in my favor. He's honest about your chances, thorough, and knows his military disability law.

Jack helped me immensely during my medical Performance Evaluation Board (PEB) for the Marines. I knew something was wrong when the Marine Corps, after two major spinal surgeries, provided me with almost no medical disability status. He did some great investigative work to find out that large portions of my records were not sent to the board. He managed to get my case before the Board of Naval Corrections, who reversed the findings and decided on a medical retirement better than I had hoped.

Why chance it when you can gain a huge advantage with John B. Gately? Mr. Gately is a professional and really knows his stuff dealing with Medical Boards and the VA claims process. Using his services, I went from a 20% rating to a 30% rating which was huge taking me from a one time severance check to a full retirement including a paycheck for life as well as tricare for life! Next up he assisted me with filing for compensation with the VA and got a 100% decision! Best decision I ever made!!!!

I chose Mr. Gately's services because his prior experience in US Coast Guard gave him an unique advantage over other military lawyer's in handling my case. His wealth of knowledge about medical conditions and related health problems helped me to develop a more complete medical case and move into retirement. He also helped walk me through the tangle of red tape required to file a VA claim.

I have found Mr. John Brendan Gately to be honest, right to the point, and consistently giving me realistic outcomes throughout the entire 2 years of my Marine Corps disability case. He's definitely no nonsense, cut to the chase type of person. As a client I've never been left hanging; he makes sure all my correspondence is returned. He's got amazing strength and integrity with the combination of experience, insight, and knowledge of military and Veterans disability law. Highly Recommended!

Jack was great! When my husband was sent to a medical board, we realized we needed help late in the process. My husband had been downplaying his health problems to try to stay in which hurt his initial rating. Jack took our case, taking our phone calls at hours that were convenient to us to ensure we were prepared. Without his help my husband wouldn't have received the permanent disability rating at the level he was due. He is now able to focus on his health. I highly recommend Jack.

I can't imagine going through the medical retirement process without Jack. He took care of us from beginning to end; without him we would have been deprived of a lifetime of necessary medical benefits. My husband's case was complex and difficult, and Jack handled it all with aplomb.

Without John (Jack) I would have never recieved any retierment benefits after I was injured on active duty. Jack doesn't just win your case he also follows up to make sure the VA is also rating you as you should be.

Highly experienced and skilled in his practice specialties, Mr. John Gately was an excellent attorney and one with whom I thoroughly enjoyed working. I was continually impressed not just with his commitment to my case, but also my overall well-being. A former military lawyer and veteran himself, Mr. Gately is well-versed in the dynamics of military disability law and can be counted on to tenaciously and ethically represent his clients. For all of these reasons, I highly recommend Mr. Gately!
