Top Notch

After much research and speaking with folks I know, I engaged Mr. McGill to aid me with my claim for medical retirement from federal service. From the start he was very thorough and took the time to answer questions. Throughout the process I was at ease in knowing I was well represented. My ca...se went through without issue and I am now medically retired. Because of Mr. McGill's diligence and attention to detail, the process was as stress free as it possibly could be. Thank you Mr. McGill.

A Stellar Attorney who knows How to Work with OPM and Provides Caring and Knowledgeable Client Advice

I was truly blessed to find Mr. McGill when I was at my wit’s end, very sick with PTSD and knew I could no longer perform my job with the Department of Defense, but I had no clue what to do next; Mr. McGill did, and I sincerely thank him!! I would honestly give him 10 stars, if able, because he is... an overall phenomenal attorney who specializes and excels in ONLY Federal Disability Retirement. Plus, he cares about those whom he is representing! I feel he is unmatched in his legal acumen and very familiar with the routine players at OPM and the convoluted forms and processes which make it very clear you are most likely in for a fight for a benefit to which you are fully entitled!! Mr. McGill becomes your fist line of defense in whom you can trust to have your best interests at heart and will always reply to your emails and/or phone calls within 24 hours and most often, real time, which is extremely helpful when you have extreme anxiety about your financial future and ability to take care of your medical expenses!! He helped me through a lot of form requirements that I could not even become to comprehend due to my PTSD. Before hiring him, I read a lot of his reviews and articles and thought he sounded too good to be true so I was hesitant to hire him; however, that’s NOT the case. He is truly as good as all of his reviews indicate!! He is the SOLE reason I have FINALLY been awarded my Federal Disability Retirement after initial denial where OPM appeared to have not read anything we sent, and then, our subsequent appeal. His superior skills resulted in an exemplary, well written appeal focused on my disabilities, and I was approved in approximately 2 weeks after Attorney McGill submitted our appeal!! He is not afraid to be extremely frank and brutally honest with OPM to get your case approved! Again, We WON -- I have officially received my Federal Disability Retirement, courtesy of Mr. McGill!! Mr. McGill is beyond amazing; he’s real; paramount in his abilities, responsive and very caring! I thank Mr. McGill for all his efforts, caring, unparalleled wisdom and intelligence because he literally changed me and my family's lives!!

The best Federal and Postal disability retirement lawyer!

I am very pleased and glad I hired Mr. McGill to represent me in dealing with my former employer, the USPS. I always got the run around from the USPS while I worked there and I knew that being disabled from working there, I would continual getting the run around. Mr. McGill knew all about those probl...ems dealing with them and he had all the answers and help I needed to get my proper disability retirement. Thank you Mr. McGill! I highly recommend Mr. McGill for your Federal and Postal Disability retirement lawyer.

America's Feds and Postal Workers Look No Further - Robert R. McGill

Attny McGill was hired in October 2018 to prepare and complete a "hopefully" successful application for Federal Disability Retirement. He never disappointed from the initial consultation to approval. I was approved in late August 2019. Specifically, Robert is very knowledgeable and passionate about t...his administrative process. He answered me so quickly as if I were the only one Fed or Postal Worker that he was winning for. He is forthright in his approach and compassionate in his dealings when you are no longer a useful servant to Uncle Sam through no fault of your own. To that end, PLEASE contact Attny McGill if you want the best care possible. Set your team with him at the helm and you will be put to ease while the wheels of our government are in slow motion. I don't think that there was ever a better attorney - all around. God bless Attorney Robert R. McGill who diligently works for the Feds and Postal Workers of AMERICA during this bleak time of our lives. He gives hope when fear is mostly served!

Best OPM disability Lawyer hands down!!

I hired Robert McGill in July of 2018 after searching the internet for months. Every review I read spoke of Mr. McGill with such glowing reviews that I was skeptical, to say the least. As I began reading in depth articles about the whole OPM process, I quickly realized that the articles were written ...by Mr. McGill or someone would comment that he had a simpler version of the explanation on his site. After finally reaching out to him, I received a response in about 2 hours to schedule a phone consult 2 days later. After hiring him, I was sent a very thorough list of items that he required to do his job. After completing this list, the process was very smooth. Mr. McGill would contact me periodically to update me where he was at in the process or to let me know to look out for some paperwork from OPM. Whenever I had a question, I would email or call him and always get a response within 24 hours. I cannot stress how easy he made this whole process seem and truly appreciated how he held my hand through it all. After 13 months, I was approved by OPM disability. Do your due diligence but make no mistake, Robert McGill will get it done!!!
