The Gately Law Firm

In the beginning we lost our case but jack went above and beyond to help me get the rating I deserved from the navy. He submitted all the paperwork I needed and helped me through my claims process to ultimately win. He continues to show support to me even after ten years have gone by. He is always there to help me through whatever trials the VA puts me through. I am so grateful for the understanding and empathy this man continues to show me. He has turned into a father figure for me and my family always watching out for us. I am incredibly grateful and blessed to have such a devoted kind and caring lawyer on my side.

A MUST HAVE ATTORNEY!!!!! Please call Mr. John B Gately!!! He has been my saving grace over this entire process of being medically retired from the Military. He has made this a quick and stress free process. Do not go this alone, let Mr. Gately help you. He is so knowledgeable of everything you will be going through. Whenever I needed help he has always been able to answer every question 110%. I would give him 10 out of 5 stars. Thank you Mr. Gately you are truly one of a kind!

John Gately (Jack) has positively changed the course of my life forever due to his excellent counsel at a medical review appeals board. I was awarded a Permanent Disability Retirement of 70% up from 40%. Jack is knowledgeable, personable, and understands the system. The appeals process was very confusing for me and Jack helped me understand the system every step of the way. Jack does not need a big office in Washington to get results! His personal attention along the way made me feel at ease. Jack spent many hours prepping me for the case. Jack understands chronic health conditions in a very real way and is prior military himself. Do not hesitate call Jack right way!!

Highly recommended, his dedication to helping his clients is unsurpassed and he is very thorough as well as dedicated to getting his clients everything they need plus more.

Mr. Gately is a passionate attorney who will go out of his way to help veterans. He will honestly tell you if you in fact need his assistance or not. My experience with him so far has been perfect. I say this because I reached out to Mr. Gately around 10PM on a Sunday and received a phone call the very next day. I spoke directly to him and no one else. He spent about 30 mins on the phone with me AT NO CHARGE going over the details of my TDRL case. He knew the names and background of everyone on the Physical Evaluation Board. He even knew the name of the clerk! Mr. Gately gets straight to it on the phone. He asked me to scan and email some medical examination docs over to him just so he can look over the exact wording in my exams and he literally emailed me back a few hours later with details on what my case is looking like for my TDRL re-evaluation. He also provided me with the contact information for the clerk at the PEB office so that I could hear directly from the source the status of my case. THANK GOD FOR THAT! I found out that my branch of service retirement office (MMSR-4) never forwarded my TDRL re-evaluation exams to the PEB. They were literally waiting on my re-evaluation exams for almost a year. Luckily I spoke to Mr. Gately before my pay was cut. I cant thank him enough. If you're a veteran going through any type of medical board, TDRL or going through the VA claim system you should, no, you need to call Mr. Gately ASAP. The things you will learn in 20-30 min conversation will truly set you up for success. His website literally says he offers free consultations. Don't think about it just make the call. Definitely will not regret it.
