Robert R. McGill

Mr. McGill has a vast amount of knowledge and experience with the OPM disability retirement process. If you are considering applying for disability retirement, count on getting zero help from your agency. His knowledge and assistance was key in the approval of my retirement. I couldn’t recommend him ...more.

I am a Special Agent late in my career and became disabled with arthritis. I called Mr McGill and immediately knew he was the right person for me. He put up with my many phone calls, talked me through a Fitness For Duty Evaluation and was extremely responsive. He sets the bar for this type of proc...eeding.

Robert represented me in my OPM Disability Retirement case. After reviewing the requirements and legal test to meet the baseline for a Disability Retirement, I knew even as an individual with a PhD, I needed learned, professional guidance. Robert came highly recommended, and he did not disappoint. On...e year from the time I retained Robert, and six month after Robert applied to OPM on my behalf, I am retired from my position with the Navy. I cannot stress enough the value of an attorney of Robert’s caliber in your corner.

After hearing stories of federal employees being denied disability retirement due to young age, regardless of their condition I immediately started calling lawyers. Thankfully, I chose Mr. McGill. He got right to work and walked me through the process, the paperwork and everything else I needed to d...o. When my part was complete, Mr. McGill was quick to do his. I was thoroughly impressed with his presentation of my packet, I really appreciated him being straight forward with me and not wasting our time with things that didn't matter or pertain to my case as other lawyers I interviewed did. I also appreciate his honesty in regards to length of time it would take to recieve a decision. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr. Mcgill to anyone with a legitimate federal disability retirement case.

I had never hired a lawyer before and was very nervous about hiring one, especially one in another state who I couldn’t meet in person. I found him online and read many reviews before I contacted him. I was not sure I even had a chance to get disability retirement as I had an unusual health situa...tion. Before talking to him, I was basically waiting to be fired because I was not able to return to work and did not know what to do. When I talked to him about my situation, he explained a lot to me and told me he felt I had a good chance of being approved with my doctor’s support. He emphasized the importance of the doctor’s input, so I understood better what I needed to do. I liked the fact that he charged a flat fee upfront. No surprises wondering how much it would cost in the end. Mr. McGill sent me a long list of references. I emailed 5 of them. They all graciously responded. I hired him and found him to be exactly as others described him. He ALWAYS responded to calls and emails usually within an hour or at least within 24 hours. He is very direct and to the point and gets the job done. Due to my medical issues, I sometimes had difficulty understanding instructions or comprehending what I had to do and would get upset and call or email him with my questions and concerns. He always clarified what I needed to do and reassured me he would take care of things. I greatly appreciated his patience and respectfulness of me as a person. He explained up front that the process could take a year or longer. His first update for me from OPM, they were telling him 12-18 months. It took 11 months, and my application was approved on the first round. I am so thankful I hired Mr. McGill. There is no way I could have handled it on my own. Prior to hiring him, I had already gone through the process with my agency for approval to work from home, be put on FMLA, etc. and had an extremely stressful time with that. No matter what documentation I provided, it was never right. They would always come back and say they needed something other than what they asked for in their letters. I knew OPM would be even worse. Save yourself the agony and wasted time and hire Mr. McGill.
