I highly recommend Mr. McGill. Professional and effective representation

If you are looking for solid representation in pursuit of disability retirement, I highly recommend Robert McGill. I thought I had a "slam dunk" case since I was let go because of my disability after 20+ years of service. I was denied at first review and sought Mr. McGill's services and was approv...ed at the reconsideration stage. My experience with Robert McGill has been positive throughout the entire process. He was quick to reply to all my messages and explained the process and expectations. He communicated with medical providers and OPM and got the job done. Even if you think you have a clear case for disability retirement, I urge you to contact Mr. McGill and save yourself time and worry.

Senior eXCUTIVE Service (SES) Fed. Gov. (Ret.)

From the onset of meeting Mr. McGill, he was passionate, knowledgeable, and exact with his insight of the Fed Disability retirement process and requirement. He never wavered in his efforts to fight for me. Although he has many clients he made me feel as if I were his number one priority as evidenced ...by his prompt responses to my emails and call. He keep me apprised of the movement of my application and fought for me through the initial approval of my application. Hands down, he is the best! I am please to write this review on behalf of Mr. McGill and his law firm!

Thank you!

I was too impaired to file my own application for FERS DR. Atty McGill evaluated my situation, helped me understand the OPM process, and made sure that all my paperwork was in order. When my package was submitted, he made sure it was done correctly and with all the necessary documentation for OPM ...review. As a result, my FERS DR application was approved at the first level. Being sick and unable to work was a difficult enough situation medically and emotionally--I wouldn't have wanted to "go it alone" through the bureaucratic process.

I absolutely recommend!

Mr. McGill helped me and my providers present my claim for FERS Disability Retirement so it was complete and formatted so that my situation was presented properly. While I awaited OPM's decision, Mr. McGill was actively following my case and only a call, text or email away depending on how I contacte...d him. I'm 100% satisfied. He really earned my absolute recommendation. Thank you Mr. McGill!

Just the person I Needed!

Attorney Robert R. McGill was exactly the person I needed for my disability application since I didn't fully know how to successfully navigate the process. He was informative, patient, and sensitive to my condition even before I signed on with him, which was important since I was working with him on... a "long distance" basis. In addition to his willingness to answer all my questions; he had represented cases like mine, so he knew the issues to highlight. What really struck me was when I asked my doctor if he would support my case, his reply was, yes, but that he only wrote the report, someone else would make the decision. This was like a lightbulb turning on for me - if I didn't know and my doctor didn't know - how the decision would be made, I needed someone who understood the process working for me. That person was Attorney Robert R. McGill. I looked long and hard for a local attorney who could successfully take my case. But after 4 or 5 promising candidates failed to be the right solution, I started looking for an Attorney in the D.C. area where my Agency is based. That's when Attorney McGill came into focus. And I'm thankful he did! Long distance yes, but almost always instantly available to take my call and answer my questions. He made the process go smoothly and successfully! I highly recommend him!
