Yes he is that good as evidenced by 99 percent approval rating

When I first thought of filing for disability, I called Mr. McGill. I was impressed from the start. I read his blogs and reviews and hired him with confidence. Mr. McGill answered the phone when I called or promptly returned all my calls normally within hours but never longer than a day. He fully ans...wered all my questions. His knowledge of OPM disability law is top tier. This may get removed, but from my viewpoint, he is the best in the nation "as evidenced by his reviews and 99 percent approval stats" (this is not an unsupported claim). This guy knows his stuff. Take your case seriously as he devotes himself totally to your case. Read all his blogs and info - and avoid landmines - think about it! Hire him right up front because if you think you can do this alone - remember "OPM goes by the law only" which is where Mr. McGill shines. He is also a very nice person. Have confidence in him and help him help you. I also visited my doctors frequently and communicated what I was trying to do - they must support you. Mr. McGill helped me with my narrative and correctly processed all paperwork which is "paramount". He was knowledgeable about submission dates, asking for more time, engaging with my supervisor and HRO folks when needed and most importantly, he engaged my doctors fully and helped them help me. Mr. McGill injects a level of understanding of the law and technical writing skills that are needed to win a case. Yes, he is that good. Remember read his blogs and be your narrative. He will drastically increase your chances of winning because he knows exactly what he is doing. Thank you.

Disability approved in a little over 3 months after filing 1st time

I knew that I did not have what it takes to file for disability retirement on my own. I searched the web and came across Mr. McGill. He had a lot of good reviews so I called and spoke with him. He was confident and very knowledgeable, which put me at ease. He explained the claim/denial process and ga...ve me advice when asked him for it. He was prompt to return my calls and emails. I'm so glad I hired him!

Defines "Outstanding" Service

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.

America's Feds and Postal Workers Look No Further - Robert R. McGill

Attny McGill was hired in October 2018 to prepare and complete a "hopefully" successful application for Federal Disability Retirement. He never disappointed from the initial consultation to approval. I was approved in late August 2019. Specifically, Robert is very knowledgeable and passionate about t...his administrative process. He answered me so quickly as if I were the only one Fed or Postal Worker that he was winning for. He is forthright in his approach and compassionate in his dealings when you are no longer a useful servant to Uncle Sam through no fault of your own. To that end, PLEASE contact Attny McGill if you want the best care possible. Set your team with him at the helm and you will be put to ease while the wheels of our government are in slow motion. I don't think that there was ever a better attorney - all around. God bless Attorney Robert R. McGill who diligently works for the Feds and Postal Workers of AMERICA during this bleak time of our lives. He gives hope when fear is mostly served!

Best OPM disability Lawyer hands down!!

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!!!
