Mr. Gately's level of professionalism, responsiveness, and quality of service is unequaled. I always advise people who are faced with a challenging Military Medical Evaluation Board to hire Mr. Gately without hesitation. It is my personal opinion that he will win any case 100% of the time. If you want to win your MED Board, hire Mr. Gately!

Mr. Gately is a AWESOME lawyer. He fought my fight even after everything was said and done with the military. He went out of his way to file my VA application as well. Even assisted me with filing with social security benefits as well after my case had been closed for many years. He knows military law like its his own bible. He is definitely someone you want on your case when you are ready to start the process fighting military or the VA. i won my case with military, va and SS all thnx to him

I have retained Mr Gately for several of my business ventures. He is extremely resourceful and most definitely does not give up no matter how difficult the job looks. He has an uncanny ability to come up with solutions when no one else does, and can certainly think outside the box.

Jack is a not only a great lawyer but also a great person. He is honest and cares more for his clients than he does about anything else. He is straight forward and you know what he thinks and where he stands. Initially, Jack started out as my lawyer and by the end he is considered family to me. I would do anything in this world to help Jack Gately with whatever he needs. Hire him you will not be disappointed!!!!

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.

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.

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.

John was very responsive. He expedited the matter for which he was hired as he understood our dire circumstances. Time was of the essence. His ability to quickly navigate the labyrinth of Military Disability Law for my son was very helpful. MOSTLY though it was his KNOWLEDGE of the practice area and his ability to do the work correctly that gave us our relief we so greatly needed. We are forever in his debt.
