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!

Professional and Dependable

Robert R. McGill did exactly what he said he would do. He was promptly responsive to all my inquiries. Most importantly, he achieved the end result I was seeking, and my claim was approved the first time. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking federal disability retirement.

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!

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.

He is the real thing

Robert charges a fee based on your salary up front. It is a leap of faith to do that, so I believe information about how he practices should be available for review. Federal Disability is all he practices. When you fill out the forms, he knows what to write and more importantly what not to write. I k...new that I could not go back to my job and work effectively and I wrote a statement that I believed proved that. I do not recall the details, but he told me that is just telling them you are temporarily disabled and you can go back to work. He did not tell me to lie and I didn't lie. What he did was have the experience to know how to tell the truth that will most likely earn you the disability. The man is a machine. As busy as he is, he always got back to me on the same or next business day when I had any kind of question, no matter how small. After starting the process, I would say that unless you are dying, it would be nearly impossible to win a Federal disability award with the assistance of a lawyer. I had already resigned from my position when I applied for disability. I believed my chances where slim, and writing that check was a real leap of faith, For what Mr. McGill does for you, the fee is extremely reasonable, no nickel and diming, one flat fee up front. Federal disability is all he does. He has the experience. He knows what works and what doesn't. The process is long and anxiety producing, particularly when you have put your money down and you don't know what is going to happen. Every single time I contact Mr. McGill, he got back to me right away. That gave me a feeling of security and was very helpful along the way. If you have a case for Federal Disability, I recommend Mr. McGill wholeheartedly!
