The best of the best in obtaining a FERS medical retirement

Mr. Robert McGill will initially give you a free telephone consultation to hear your particular situation and will then sincerely let you know if he thinks you have a chance at successfully securing a medical retirement with OPM. He will then provide you a long list of references for you to review. ... I did exactly that, and everyone I contacted told me how great he was. I also read just about all his reviews available, and did not encounter one single negative review. Additionally, I read the many articles/blogs that he has written regarding this medical retirement process and It became quite evident that he is an authority in this field. After speaking with Mr. McGill a second time, I retained his services. From day one, he was extremely professional, informative, patient, and honest. He will personally promptly return all calls and emails. No secretary, no paralegal, or any other type of assistant will speak you, but just him. He will keep you posted every step of the way, and will go above and beyond to help you secure your medical retirement. From the day OPM received my completed package (after my employer did their part and forwarded it to them), it took OPM 10 weeks to approve my case. Mr McGill knows the ins and outs of this convoluted process and will prepare a solid case to submit to OPM. He is by far the best in this field! He is the real deal and will give your case 100% of his experience, knowledge, and ability. Do not waste your time with anyone else! His fees, in my opinion, are extremely low for the level of professional representation you will receive. I am forever grateful to him. God bless him!

Federal Police Officer

Mr. McGill's professionalism, dedication, and attention to every last detail is beyond any reasonable persons expectations. As a federal police officer with 20 plus years of service experiencing signification back complications, Mr. McGill provided my family and I with the peace of mind needed right ...from the beginning of the retirement process. His direct approach and experience was observable from the very first free consult. He was by far the most responsive attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He responds to calls, emails, and text messages within minutes! This is not an exaggeration. The no hassle flat rate fee is known from the beginning and my choice to hire Mr. McGill from the start of my case was the best decision I could have made. The case was handled start to finish by Robert with the desired successful outcome in an extraordinarily short few months! I fear had I attempted this on my own I would still be trying to navigate the murky waters of the federal government. If you are an injured federal employee and thinking about an early retirement from service then I highly recommend reaching out to Mr. McGill. Words here cannot say enough how appreciative my family and I are for his service on our behalf. I know its difficult reading these reviews and being on the other end wondering if what is being said is the truth as I was thinking the same thing before I reached out to Mr. McGill directly. Let me assure you, I am speaking the truth and I am confident Mr. McGill will live up to everything I have written in this review for you! Thank you for reading and I wish you the best!

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.

Best of the Best

For anyone out there who is in need of an Attorney when filing OPM disability retirement, Mr. Robert McGill is the person you want to hire. Please believe me, you WILL NOT go wrong with Mr. McGill. Do not look any further, Mr. McGill is the one you want representing you. Mr. McGill focuses specifical...ly on OPM disability retirement; giving him an advantage over any other attorney out there in this area. Mr. McGill knows the in's and the outs of what is required and what is necessary to get you an approval. My disability case was for mental health, a condition that is not easily approved, requiring clear and concise articulation of the condition and the effects it has/had on my position. Without Mr. McGill on my side I would have been lost. My claim was a first-time-go and approved within months of submission. Mr. McGill walked me through every step of the claim process. He was easily accessible anytime I had questions, responding often times within the hour. I don’t know of any other Attorney who makes themselves accessible to their clients as Mr. McGill. Mr. McGill will work with you every single step of the way. He is a no-nonsense Attorney and he will do whatever it is necessary to get you an approval. I know I said it before, but please believe me when I say Mr. McGill is the person you want to hire for your OPM disability retirement case. A true professional dedicated to obtaining OPM disability retirement benefits for those who have worked so hard as civil servants. I am forever indebted to Mr. McGill.

Simply the Best!

I spent a lot of time searching for the right representation because applying for disability was a very hard thing to come to terms with. All of Attorney McGill's reviews are so accurate and I am thankful I found him during my search for help. When you read in his reviews that he gets right back to ...you, it is so true, sometimes within minutes. This guy, is the real deal! When you are hurting so bad and you are wondering how to even begin to start the process to apply for disability Attorney McGill is there. He puts your mind at ease, lets you know if he thinks your case is winnable and then backs it up with the law. Once my case hit OPM it took 40 days to be decided, on the initial try it was approved. I am beyond grateful I had Attorney McGill in my corner. The best advice I can give someone that is thinking about applying for disability is to reach out to Mr. McGill, you will not be sorry you did. A God send!
