Honest Attorney who truly cares

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 ve...ry 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.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2017.

Reciprocal - Public Reprimand/Admonishment issued in MA, 2017

updated on 01/20/2022

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in Massachusetts.
