Best lawyer for FERS Disability Retirement!

I had to resign from the post office because it was getting too difficult for me to work with my knees. I had already had surgery on one knee and it wasn't quite right. I was depressed and my anxiety level was through the roof by the time I found him online. Thank God for finding him. I really di...dn't think he would be able to help me, because I lived in MO. I noticed on reviews that he took on many people from all over the US. I could even ask people who had hired him before, for reference. I liked that he doesn't charge an hourly rate. I personally like to know up front what something is going to cost me and that is how he does it. I couldn't of done this without him. I'm glad he was on my side. I recommend Robert to anyone who is trying to get federal disability retirement.

5-Star Exceptional Federal Government Disability Attorney

I researched Mr. Robert McGill for over 2 years before I hired him. This gentleman saved my life, thank you again for all your hard work to ensure my success. If I had do this all over again I would NOT change a thing! Very down to earth and answers ALL his phone calls and emails either the same day... or the next day. Brilliant, extremely intelligent, he has over 30 years of providing his clients with the great customer service/care and professionalism. He explains everything detail, either on the phone or in correspondence. BOTTOM LINE: I highly recommend this awesome lawyer. Mr McGill is FLAWLESS, almost perfect in every way. Please folks don't look any further for your lawyer needs he will 100% fulfill them and I sincerely promise you my friends with all my heart and soul. God's Speed & Grace, Very Respectfully, Patrick Bredeck Sergeant First Class United States Active Army (Retired)

Finally!

After a long Process trying to get OPM Disability by myself, only to be denied and defeated, I contacted Mr. McGill who seamlessly took on my case and I won My Government Pension. After 14 years with Department of Defense, it was finally over. Mr. McGill is very organized, to the point and Efficien...t. Be Patient. And Contact Mr. McGill. I could not have done this without him. Very Grateful!

Exceptional Federal Occupation Disability Attorney

Bottom Line Up Front: Very Professional, Super Responsive, Great Attention To Detail, Encyclopedic Type Knowledge of Federal Occupational Disability, Dedicated and Available To His Clients, Relentless, and Gets The Job Done Successfully. In January 2022, under severe health strains preventing me fr...om working, I contacted Mr. McGill to discuss the possibility of me receiving occupational disability retirement from OPM. After that conversation and reaching out to many of his previous and very satisfied clients, I was convinced he was the person I could trust my future with. Needless to say, he was definitely the attorney for me. His relentless efforts tremendously exceeded my expectations and within 60 days, my application was at OPM for review and within another 60 days, my disability retirement was approved and final. It may sound over-dramatic, but I honestly feel like Mr. McGill saved my life. Thank you Robert, I will forever be grateful!

Best lawyer for Federal Disability Retirement!

To begin with, I should have hired Mr. Robert R. McGill prior to filing for Federal Disability Retirement (FDR) and saved myself a lot of time, effort, and money trying to do it on my own. This is all he does and it shows. After the initial FDR denial and then subsequent denial of reconsideration, I ...was faced with an appeal via the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). I started looking for attorneys specializing in FDR and found several; however, Mr. McGill was the only one who was consistently recommended, not only by former clients, but also by a few law firms. Being recommended by competitors should tell you something. Upon the initial consultation, he was honest and explained the process going forward with MSPB. He made no guarantees or promises, save one: that he would do his best. He encouraged me to perform due diligence and speak with others before making any decision. After a day or two of doing so (and reading the extensive posts regarding FDR on his website), I hired Mr. McGill to represent me with the FDR MSPB appeal process. He promptly took care of all the necessary paperwork and filings, and kept in contact throughout the process. Every time a filing was made, he called to explain what he was doing and the legal rationale for them. What I really found amazing was that he always responded to my E-mails and calls within 30 minutes or less, sometimes immediately. Also, there were no other personnel or "middle men" to go through - he does it all by himself and he does it very well. When I called, he picked up the phone, not a secretary. It's rare to call an attorney and get direct communication, but that was never the case with Mr. McGill. Admittedly, I was probably not an ideal client, but he always maintained his professionalism and optimism. In the end, OPM reversed their denial mere hours before the MSPB hearing, largely based on Mr. McGill's knowledge of the law and legal precedence establishing that FDR was warranted in my case. In the end, he kept his one promise and he did his best for me. Hiring him was the smartest choice I made throughout this entire process. He has my highest recommendation!
