Look No More!!

If you are in search of an attorney for Federal Government Disability look no more and hire Mr. Robert R. McGill. I spoke with a four attorneys about my case prior to Mr. McGill. I really wanted to spend money wisely. The four attorneys I spoke with offered a money back guarantee. When I finally ...contacted Mr. McGill, his attentiveness immediately caught my attention. I asked if he offered a money back guarantee. He said, "No I do not. I am very good at what I do." That may have turned others off; but, for me, the confidence is what I needed. After my consultation, I hired him RIGHT away. In full transparency, Mr. McGill was the most expensive; however, it was worth every penny spent. Mr. McGill went over what I should expect during the process and advised me to be patient because the process could take up to 18 months. Everything I researched said 12-18 months and sometimes longer. I even spoke with a few representative from OPM and they all said be patient, it may be a while. Mr. McGill called me one day. Naturally, I assumed it was to ask for additional information or just provide me with an update on where I was in the process. No, on that day he called to inform me my retirement was approved. I was completely in shock because it happened in just under four months from the time I submitted all the paperwork. Speaking of paperwork, Mr. McGill operates like a well oiled machine. He personally took care of every aspect in ensuring I had everything I needed prior to submission. He initially told my he typically gets back to clients in less than 24 hours; however, every time I contacted him with the expectation for him to get back with me, it was ALWAYS less that 2-4 hours; not 24. Mr. McGill is caring, responsive, informative, and keeps you in the loop every step of the way. Every time I mentioned Mr. McGill's name and something he did to my husband, he would always say, "He's a BAAAD man!" This really meant he is SUPER awesome. I'll end this review the same way I started, if you are in search of an attorney for Federal Government Disability look no more and hire Mr. Robert R. McGill!! You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic Federal Disability Retirement Expert

I went to Robert after having initially fired my Federal Disability Retirement paperwork on my own and was denied. He assisted me on the appeal and eventually to the review board. Ultimately we were successful thanks to Robert's knowledge and skills of the inner workings at OPM. I will forever be gra...teful for his assistance in a successful outcome for my case.

Allowed me to focus 100% on being a Caregiver, $ well spent

We highly recommend Rober R. McGill Esq. Long before we made our decision to proceed with an application for Disability Retirement. Mr. McGill was willing to entertain questions, provide valuable guidance prior to being retained. All during the process he continued to always be available for guidanc...e and address any concerns. We are so grateful for the positive decision we received within 7 months. Which was in no small measure due to Mr. McGill's expertise.

Robert Miller

Robert R McGill is the BEST. I tried to do my own Medical Retirement. I filled out the application sent all the information from my doctors, did everything OPM(Office of Personal Management), asked of me. For 2 years I put up with all the run around OPM threw at me. Trying to deal with management at ...the IRS, the Best Specialist(who couldn't help me with anything) & OPM all at the same time - what a joke! Then a denial letter. I was so physically & emotionally devastated. I was ready to give up. After some research, a prayer and a blessing, I found Robert R McGill. Just his website will inform you he knows what he's doing. I had my consultation, he said I had a case, I filled out the hiring packet, paid the fee, & he took it from there. He answered every question I had, usually within hours. What a great relief. After Robert took my case, I was approved for the medical retirement 10 months after OPM received his letter. My advice, look at his website, you'll realize his knowledge and qualifications. I am so glad I talked to Robert before I just gave up. Best decision I had made in a long time.

Successful Retirement Application

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.
