I highly recommend Mr Gately as a vital and comprehensive resource for a military medical retirement via the IDES process. His expertise allowed me to focus on getting care while he guided me through the complicated retirement process. Mr Gately (Jack) provided many turn-key drafts of key forms and statements that synthesized my medical and mental health records in ways that I would have been too overwhelmed to generate. Jack was with me every step of the way from DoD Retirement to VA disability paperwork. I would not have been able to advocate for myself without his expert knowledge and support. We hit many pitfalls and submitted multiple appeals to multiple tiers of the Air Force and Veterans Affairs, but Jack knew exactly which steps for me to execute. I am happy to say that my case ended in a very positive outcome.

Mr. Gately’s services were phenomenal, and I would hire him again without even thinking about it to assist me with the MEB or the VA process and navigating the complexities of my legal situation. He went above and beyond to ensure I understood my options and rights as a service member. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions and was available to provide advice whether it was day or night.

Thank you, Mr. Gately, me, and my family are forever grateful.

Mr. Gately is an excellent attorney. If you need help with a military MEB or PEB Board, you are not going to do any better than Mr. Gately's services! As a medical professional and serving in uniform myself for 29 years, I am as impressed with Mr. Gately's knowledge base and professionalism as I have been with any other professional I've crossed paths with in my professional life. If you need help with a PEB or MEB, it is my recommendation you contact Mr. Gately right away.

Jack is phenomenal! He will be with you through the whole process, however long that takes and is fully backed with his commitment to provide the best legal support for all service members. Frankly, he saved my life and I absolutely needed him in my corner! Hire him now!!

The best investment I’ve ever made is hiring Jack Gately. I thought my IDES case was cut and dry, but thankfully Mr. Gately prepared me for all scenarios. As he coached and prepared me for the FPEB, I naïvely asked myself ‘Why is he going over all of these topics?’ Even though I did a lot of research, it was a huge surprise (and a tremendous spike in anxiety) that the FPEB debated for hours, then kicked the case back to MEB for a few weeks. Jack immediately developed a course of action which we executed and when the FPEB reconvened, we quickly received the preferred outcome. I am very grateful that Mr. Gately represented me, and I find myself always advocating his expert services to my friends and fellow service members going through IDES (MEB/PEB)!

Do your future self a favor and hire Jack Gately. He is 1000% worth the investment in your own future. He was always available when I needed him and could dissect complexity to provide you with clear advice. He's a fighter and a winner.
