When you want the best results, hire the best lawyer!

I hired Robert McGill to handle my FERS Disability Retirement case after I was denied benefits by OPM (in hindsight, I wish I had hired him before I filed). Mine was a very complex case, and I knew I would need a lawyer with a experience and proven results. I did my homework, and found Robert McGill.... Because of his expertise and diligence, Attorney McGill was able to win my case prior to going to a MSPB hearing! Good lawyers are never cheap, but the decision to hire Robert McGill was BY FAR one of the MOST IMPORTANT financial decisions I've ever made in my life! To say that I highly recommend him is the understatement of the century. You will not regret it!

Federal Medical Retirement Through OPM

Mr. McGill was the utmost professional. Communications were always answered and phone calls were always taken. All of my questions were answered and even though I was a difficult case in my eyes, my Federal Medical Retirement went through. After 16 years with the Federal Air Marshal Service, 2 Years ...with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and 8 years in The U.S. Army I am now Federally retired thanks entirely to Mr. Robert Mcgill and his team. I recommend him completely and suggest seeking his counsel for your Federal Retirement questions and needs. Thank you!! Richard Otto Chance Orr Senior Federal Air Marshal Retired

OPM Disability Retirement Approved!

I contacted Mr. McGill after an injury that affected me being able to perform my job functions. Mr. McGill, walked me through the process and helped me file my paperwork; the process from beginning to approval was 590 days. I can't thank him enough for his experience and guidance throughout the who...le process. He kept me informed and up to date on what, when, and why files/forms/documents were needed. Well worth every penny spent on the process to have myself and family taken care of for the future.

Robert McGill is your attorney when your family is counting you to win FERS disability retirement.

I was missing alot of work because of an injury when I was targeted for termination for political reasons (or so I believe). Because I was injured and not able to do the job I was hired to do, Mr. McGill looked over my paperwork and at the time he said he was confident that I was still eligible for F...ERS disability retirement.  9 months later and I get a letter stating that I was not eligible for disability retirement from OPM. I went back to my doctor who worked with Mr. McGill and resubmitted my application or whatever you call it. After about 10 more months I was shocked when it was approved. Mr. McGill is truly amazing at what he does. I really couldn't do my job anymore and HE GOT ME JUSTICE!! (A stolen advertisement from a local attorney office) If you are unable to perform the job you were hired to do, and you have a doctor who will agree, Mr. McGill is the person you need who will get you FERS disability retirement. He is worth his weight in gold! He will calm your anxiety with his expert knowledge of OPM, and case law, and get you approved. It's a long process, but when the bottom line is that you can't work and OPM's guidelines and red tape stand in your way of feeding your family, Robert will anticipate what they will say and submit why they must approve your disability retirement with past legal cases that went to court and won. He is absolutely the best and has mastered navigating OPM's ridiculous channels so that in the end you can rest assured that when Robert says that he is confident you will receive your retirement, that it is only a matter of time before you get what you and your family needs to live with the pain that you suffer from your service to our country. I still cannot believe he got me what my family needed to live like we did before I got hurt on the job.

The BEST federal labor lawyer!

My case was very complicated and drawn out. My medical retirement was denied 2x by OPM. Robert McGill was extremely diligent and persistent and fought for me to the final appeal, and WE WON! I'm forever grateful for Mr. McGill and his efforts in my case!
