Great Experience

It was great working with Attorney McGill. He is very knowledgeable in the work he does. Communication was always great. He won my case and did an amazing job. I would recommend his services and would work with him again.

Six star rating!

I was in crisis when I first reached out to Mr. McGill. I was a faithful federal employee for over 20 years and couldn't go on with the health issues I was having. Mr. McGill navigated the complicated maze of federal disability retirement and within one month of OPM receiving the package - I was ap...proved! I am so thankful for his efforts. I am thankful God answers prayers. If you're looking for someone to be your advocate - Mr. McGill is your guy.

Hire him

There is a lot at stake with the federal disability retirement process. I wanted to have all my ducks in order and put forth the strongest case possible from the beginning. McGill got the packet approved on first review. I looked around for the best lawyer possible and hired McGill. I also spoke to ...several of his previous clients which he had helped to get an approval. All of them told me “Hire him”. I also read several articles that he had written. A friend asked me why I hired a lawyer to do a process which is free. Realize this, you are a “know nothing” when it comes to this process. If you fail to address everything that OPM wants addressed and you get a denial, you are at a huge disadvantage bringing in a lawyer, after the fact, to clean up some crayon eating mistakes that you so smartly made in your claim. I hired a lawyer because the outcome of this process was very important to me and McGill was the best I could find. -Very professional and knowledgeable. -Immediately told me the strengths and weaknesses (soberingly so) of the case and what we would do to fortify the weaknesses. -Explained the process and answered every single question that I ever asked to my satisfaction. -Answered the phone when I called or got back to me the same day in a timely manner. -Answered all emails in a timely manner. -I felt he realized that his job is to work for me and he used his knowledge and experience to that end. -He has been in this practice for a long time. -He was a down to earth guy and zero attitude or lawyer narcissist entitlement syndrome with high social intelligence and self awareness. -Genuinely cared about doing the best job possible on my case. I remember being surprised about him asking me what I thought about a letter he wrote for my packet. The guy legitimately has pride in his work. - No bait and switch BS lawyer, he is legit and doesn’t rest on his laurels. -He did his f’ing job and we got the approval. Money well spent.

Mr. McGill was a Godsend

I am so grateful to have discovered Robert McGill to represent my VA disability case, he is a gifted attorney, like no other, who could have helped me through this challenging process. Mr. McGill is extremely hardworking and committed to his clients, he is an expert in his field. He proved to be very... accomplished and efficient in processing and expediting my case with OPM, winning a timely approval on the first round. While I attempted to continue to work during most of my application process, he was always supportive, professional and quickly responsive to my concerns, helping to lessen my stress level during this period of uncertainty. I give him a 5 star rating for excellence in performance and legal skill. He is an exceptional attorney and I would highly recommend his services.
