Mr. Robert McGill (Outstanding Lawyer)

Thank you so much Mr. McGill for all your dedication and hard work on my case. I really appreciate you for seeing my retirement through.

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!

Mr. McGill did an outstanding job. He was attentive, detailed oriented, extremely knowledgeable, and always answered my phone calls or emails very very promptly and put me at ease with what can be a stressful process. My disability retirement was approved thanks to Mr. McGill's within 30 days after s...ubmission to OPM. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided to me and of course the results of his work. It is literally life changing. Thank you Mr. McGill!!

Strongly recommend!

My experience with Mr. McGill was very satisfying for many reasons. First, when you hire Mr. McGill, you get Mr. McGill, a lawyer with more than 30 years experience in the business. It is easy to become infatuated with the website of other disability groups who have partners with hundreds of years of... combined experience in the field. Understand that when you hire a group like that, there is a decent chance they will assign the most inexperienced junior associate to your case. This happened to me; it was very frustrating. When I called Mr. McGill, he answered the phone personally 80% of the time on the second or third ring! When I did get his voicemail, he called me back before COB. He responded to my emails within an hour or two. Once I left an email for him Sunday evening so it would be in his inbox when he got there Monday morning. He still emailed me back that Sunday within a couple hours! I personally have never experienced this high superior level of client communication with any other lawyer/firm. You can contact him all you want, and you won’t receive an extra bill. Trust me. You will want to speak with him frequently. This process is extremely stressful and prolonged and his knowledgeable calming words go along way with soothing your stress (which will be considerable and long lasting). In the beginning, I would Google specific questions that I could not find with the general articles on the subject. I discovered, in retrospect. that a plurality of the time, Mr. McGill had actually written the most helpful articles. Mr. McGill wrote all the required essays for me on all the standard forms. He made sure that every document was properly submitted with all the required information. He knows every criteria required for approval. He knows everything they want to hear and how they want to hear it. He made sure that was all in my package with no errors that would entice OPM to kick it back to square one. Once my application was at OPM, Mr. McGill would call them frequently to request that my application be expedited. It must have worked, because I hired him on May 18 and I was approved on November 1. OPM is looking for the slightest excuse in the book to reject your application. I would never go through this process without a lawyer helping me. After enduring the process myself, I strongly recommend you hire Mr. McGill.

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!
