Fantastic Attorney

We had a very difficult case, but Mr. McGill demonstrated that he understood the law and worked with us with initially filing our application and for almost two years until he won our appeal with MSPB. I will recommend his to everyone in the future!

Senior Resource & Acquisition Manager

Robert is an excellent attorney! I hired him to push through the administrative morass of federal disability retirement. His experience and expertise in this particular field is unparalleled. Furthermore, he was extremely patient and promptly passionate in answering all of my inane questions and co...ncerns during the entire process. He prepared me for the likely denial of the initial application, but assured me the appeal was strong, entirely consistent with the law, and likely to be successful. He was right!

Don't waste time. Hire him immediately! I hired Mr. McGill. He led me through the appeal process step by step in a very concise, no nonsense and yet reassuring manner. He knows the disability retirement process. He guided me on how to work with my doctors and was quick to respond to all of my questio...ns and requests. Everything went smoothly and took only five months to be approved from the time of submission of the appeal documents. I should used him for the initial submission and saved a year and a half of hardship.

One Outstanding Attorney

I would highly recommend anyone undergoing the federal disability retirement process to hire Attorney Robert R. McGill. Attorney McGill is very knowledgeable, thorough, and a great communicator (he answers all emails and phone calls in a timely manner). He also produces great results as well. In ...all honesty, I was ready to give up on my case towards the end of 2019 after years of dealing with legal battles with my former agency. The years of fighting has taken its toll on me in more ways than one. The victory in my case was welcome news for the new year and hopefully brings a new chapter in my life. Throughout the process, Attorney McGill was very thorough and upbeat. I am forever grateful for the work that Attorney McGill put into my case. In closing, for all anyone who is considering filing for federal disability retirement or undergoing the appeals process, please do not go it alone. Save yourself the extra stress and trouble by hiring an Attorney.

A Stellar Attorney who knows How to Work with OPM and Provides Caring and Knowledgeable Client Advice

I was truly blessed to find Mr. McGill when I was at my wit’s end, very sick with PTSD and knew I could no longer perform my job with the Department of Defense, but I had no clue what to do next; Mr. McGill did, and I sincerely thank him!! I would honestly give him 10 stars, if able, because he is... an overall phenomenal attorney who specializes and excels in ONLY Federal Disability Retirement. Plus, he cares about those whom he is representing! I feel he is unmatched in his legal acumen and very familiar with the routine players at OPM and the convoluted forms and processes which make it very clear you are most likely in for a fight for a benefit to which you are fully entitled!! Mr. McGill becomes your fist line of defense in whom you can trust to have your best interests at heart and will always reply to your emails and/or phone calls within 24 hours and most often, real time, which is extremely helpful when you have extreme anxiety about your financial future and ability to take care of your medical expenses!! He helped me through a lot of form requirements that I could not even become to comprehend due to my PTSD. Before hiring him, I read a lot of his reviews and articles and thought he sounded too good to be true so I was hesitant to hire him; however, that’s NOT the case. He is truly as good as all of his reviews indicate!! He is the SOLE reason I have FINALLY been awarded my Federal Disability Retirement after initial denial where OPM appeared to have not read anything we sent, and then, our subsequent appeal. His superior skills resulted in an exemplary, well written appeal focused on my disabilities, and I was approved in approximately 2 weeks after Attorney McGill submitted our appeal!! He is not afraid to be extremely frank and brutally honest with OPM to get your case approved! Again, We WON -- I have officially received my Federal Disability Retirement, courtesy of Mr. McGill!! Mr. McGill is beyond amazing; he’s real; paramount in his abilities, responsive and very caring! I thank Mr. McGill for all his efforts, caring, unparalleled wisdom and intelligence because he literally changed me and my family's lives!!
