Never Give Up; Hire Mr. McGill

I was a little skeptical hiring a lawyer for my disability retirement only because I was almost 3 years into filing claims and submitting supporting documents and at each level I was denied. But then a friend told me that I should not give up and I should hire and attorney. So I googled OPM disabil...ity lawyer and Mr. McGill name came up. So I read the reviews, prayed and after about 2 weeks decided to give him a call. I called at 8 a.m. expecting to leave a message but he answered the phone. So I briefly explained my situation and he gave me some general information and told me to contact him if I decided to proceed. Long story short, Mr. McGill stayed on top of all the deadlines and keep me informed along the way. When he called me I knew that progress was being made because he explained everything that was going on. Mr. McGill is the best.

USPS Disability Retirement

Mr. McGill truly cares about getting the job done. I knew it would take some time, so I didn't contact him a lot during the waiting game, but whenever I sent an e-mail to him he responded back within minutes. Have dealt with other attorneys and at times it seems you cant even communicate with your ow...n attorney, but Mr. McGill was a pleasant surprise. Approval on first go around but was assured he would be there if an appeal was needed, and truly believe that would have happened. He did most all the paperwork/medical gathering, not me.

Ms. Annie Pate

I enjoyed working with Mr. McGill, he worked on my case for Federal Retirement starting in April of 2018, He was very informative on what I needed to do to reach my ultimate goal( which was to get my retirement) and he also stayed in touch with me throughout the whole process. He gave me plenty of c...ontact information in order to reach him and returned all messages that I needed response to. Mr. McGill really put my mind at ease and made my process smooth and less stressful. I received my retirement approval by January 2019 and even to this day, Mr. McGill is still in contact with me ensuring that I continue to progress in my retirement. I couldn't have asked to have a better lawyer represent me in this process, Thank you for reading and God speed.

He is a Disability Retirement Expert

Mr. Robert McGill is an amazing lawyer and did everything he promised me he would to make sure my disability retirement would get approved. He began by explaining the process to me and making sure I was aware of the length of time it would take on the Federal Governments end to process my disability... retirement, which ended up being 13 months. Mr. McGill was a there for me the whole time, always answering my emails or phone calls very quickly. He is exceptional at his job and knows the ends and outs of disability retirement. You can trust him, I sure do and so glad I found him when I did. He made all the difference in the world to my case. I can not thank him enough for everything he did for me.

Great Federal Disability Attorney with great results !

Mr. Robert R. McGill took my OPM disability case when I realized that I could no longer physically perform my duties as a federal police officer and when I decided to apply for an OPM disability retirement. The process seemed so overwhelming and complicated that I did not want to risk making any tech...nical mistakes with the paperwork or anything that would unintentionally cost me a denial, having then to file appeals that would cost me a much longer and unpleasant wait and unneeded aggravation. I had enough dealing with my own health problems and preferred to have a professional attorney handle the bureaucratic mess that the federal government is. Mr. McGill was very knowledgeable, experienced, quick to respond to all my questions and gave me a great sense of confidence during a very difficult time for me. I was dealing with the reality that I could not longer do the work that I truly loved and enjoyed and that changes were coming to my life. Mr. McGill took me through the process, filed all my OPM paperwork, constantly communicated with OPM and kept me updated. His services include any possible required appeals in your case, all included in the retainer contract. Being a compassionate human being, he also worked a payment plan for me. I would highly recommend his representation to any federal worker seeking an OPM medical retirement. You will be extremely satisfied with how Mr. McGill runs his law firm, always on top of things and always keeping you in the loop ! Thank you, Mr. McGill for the great and professional work that you did for me !!!
