John B. Gately Attorney & Counselor at Law Pro

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!

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.
