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!

Hire Attorney McGill

Mr. McGill changed my life for the better, forever. I hired him to represent me for the OPM disability retirement application and adjudication process right from the beginning, based on what other federal employees who used him had told me. I was awarded disability retirement, no appeal needed and no... questions asked, only 57 days after my application was submitted by my fed gov agency! ! I was expecting 12-18 months and maybe then an appeal. Mr. McGill offered guidance and review in my application derivation, resulting in a strong case and paperwork I felt comfortable submitting. I went from panic and form info guessing to knowing I submitted a strong case and that my forms were completed properly. He consistently returned my communications within 24 hours, often within an hour, and was always helpful and thorough. My case/medical condition was not particularly clear-cut, so I feel it was the strength of his input, legal cover letter, guidance on what medical records I needed, how to work with my doctors, explanations of process steps and timelines, and resulting quality application that made the entire difference. Now I can rest easy after not working and no income for 4 years in knowing I have secured OPM disability retirement income and health insurance for life. He offered a flat rate commensurate with my difficult financial situation, but I offered to pay him more, commensurate with my greater pay grade. I HIGHLY recommend using Mr. McGill from the very beginning, before you prepare your medical records and application, and for me the value of his service for the money is incalculable. He was honest in his assessment of the winnability of my case, no false pretenses. No-one can guarantee OPM will approve your disability in 57 days, but in using McGill, I believe you maximize your chances of success, and that is well worth the money. Don't mess around with the application game or seek cheaper lawyers like I did initially that led me astray, the system can best you - hire a good attorney (whoever it is) even if you have to borrow money, and I strongly endorse hiring Robert McGill! Btw his rates are comparable to other firms.

Great Customer Service

Attorney McGill was a blessing to me. I was real skeptical at first about hiring him for the simple reason I was not in a location where I could talk face to face and that's the norm for me. I came to the conclusion if he was bold enough do do a posting on Worker's Comp web site and after reading rev...iews on him he could be trusted. He communicated with me, returned my calls. answered my questions,and calmed my fears. He didn't brush me off but was genuinely concerned about me. I recommend him highly. My case was won.

Robert McGill got the job done!

Mr. McGill, with his many years of experience, was able to get OPM to reverse there denial of my application for disability benefits during appeal after 2 yrs of dealing with them. He was very knowledgeable, honest, and straightforward with me. He was also very quick to respond to any questions tha...t I had. I should have hired him at the beginning.

Exceptional Attorney

I retained Mr McGill after much research. It is a difficult decision to decide who to trust with something as important as your disability retirement claim, you've got a lot to lose. Having been there I can tell you I am nothing but thrilled I chose Mr McGill. He is knowledgeable, courteous, skill...ed, trustworthy, and a straight shooter. I can not say enough good things about him. If you are on the fence about who to chose for this task, look no further.
