Robert R. McGill

I hired Mr. McGill to represent me in a federal retirement claim. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, prompt, courteous, and most of all, effective. He patiently answered my questions, and would respond to me almost immediately. Due to his knowledge of the system, I was quickly (for the gov...ernment) approved for a disability retirement. I have no qualms about giving him a 5-star rating.

I hired Robert McGill in July of 2018 after searching the internet for months. Every review I read spoke of Mr. McGill with such glowing reviews that I was skeptical, to say the least. As I began reading in depth articles about the whole OPM process, I quickly realized that the articles were written ...by Mr. McGill or someone would comment that he had a simpler version of the explanation on his site. After finally reaching out to him, I received a response in about 2 hours to schedule a phone consult 2 days later. After hiring him, I was sent a very thorough list of items that he required to do his job. After completing this list, the process was very smooth. Mr. McGill would contact me periodically to update me where he was at in the process or to let me know to look out for some paperwork from OPM. Whenever I had a question, I would email or call him and always get a response within 24 hours. I cannot stress how easy he made this whole process seem and truly appreciated how he held my hand through it all. After 13 months, I was approved by OPM disability. Do your due diligence but make no mistake, Robert McGill will get it done!!!

I went to Robert after having initially fired my Federal Disability Retirement paperwork on my own and was denied. He assisted me on the appeal and eventually to the review board. Ultimately we were successful thanks to Robert's knowledge and skills of the inner workings at OPM. I will forever be gra...teful for his assistance in a successful outcome for my case.

The best $5,000 I have spent in my lifetime. No kidding. I tried to file my disability retirement on my own the first go around and it was a nightmare. I filled out all paperwork and submitted everything they asked for. A year and a half into it they stopped responding. Did not answer written request...s for information, phone was either busy or they didn't return messages. I finally got through to someone after calling every single day for at least a month. They said my claim was disapproved and I would receive a formal denial and instructions on how to appeal in the mail. It never showed up. OPM is a hot mess of incompetent chaos. The best thing I ever did was hire Mr. McGill for the second go around. He has channels that he can take advantage of to communicate with OPM that the majority of us don't. He made sure all my paperwork was in order, all my Dr. notes had the proper information, and got things done. While it was still another year and a half before it was settled (let's face it, OPM has two speeds, slow and slower) I have no doubt that my claim would have been kicked out again if not for him. My only regret was not hiring him sooner, then this mess would have been over in a year and a half instead of three years.
