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!!!

I enjoyed working with Mr. McGill, he worked on my case for Federal Retirement starting in April of 2018, He was very informative on what I needed to do to reach my ultimate goal( which was to get my retirement) and he also stayed in touch with me throughout the whole process. He gave me plenty of c...ontact information in order to reach him and returned all messages that I needed response to. Mr. McGill really put my mind at ease and made my process smooth and less stressful. I received my retirement approval by January 2019 and even to this day, Mr. McGill is still in contact with me ensuring that I continue to progress in my retirement. I couldn't have asked to have a better lawyer represent me in this process, Thank you for reading and God speed.

Wouldn’t have done it without him!

I hired Robert McGill to help me with my medical retirement claim, and I will never regret it. He was open and honest with me throughout the entire process. He really does take care of everything, so you worry about NOTHING. He always returned my calls and emails in less than a few hours, and was alw...ays pleasant to talk to. He has done so many of these cases, that he has SO MUCH knowledge of the frustrations you will run into with your employer, civilian personnel, your providers, OPM, etc. I felt that he was always one step ahead of them all. I honestly cannot say anything negative about him. He warned me about the grueling wait time, and he told me that patience was the most important thing once my claim reached OPM. Wasn’t that the truth!? The wait time was 7 months once they received my file. Be prepared for that! And to hear his voice on the phone saying “Welcome to retirement”....BEST DAY EVER, and worth every penny. Rebecca, RN

Attorney Robert McGill did an excellent job handling my case. I have absolutely no complaints, trying to get disability can be very stressful. But with Robert handling my case my stress was completely gone and that's half the battle if your not under duress while waiting. If I ever had any questions... and for me I had a lot, he always answered them. If he wasn't in the office at the time, he got back to me always with in 24 hours. If your thinking about applying for Postal Disability then Attorney McGill is the one you want. I would never attempt getting it on my own. Unless you don't mind waiting several years to get approved, we all know how the postal service can be. They will drag their feet as long as they can, meanwhile your under stress worrying about maybe losing your house or having your utilities shut off. The postal service could care less about you and your finances or your health. With Attorney McGill he knows how to push your case through. Where if your like me and have no knowledge about the laws you could be sitting and waiting for ever for a decision. It's always best to hire a lawyer in cases like this and as far as I'm concerned Robert is the best. He came highly recommended by a former co-worker of mine. In fact Attorney McGill has gotten postal disability for 3 of my former co-workers. I highly recommend him, you can't go wrong if he is representing you and his fee is well worth it. I've giving Attorney McGill permission to use my name and e-mail address for anyone thinking about hiring him. Please fill free in contacting me via e-mail anytime, if you have any questions. Once again Attorney McGill thank you for everything you did for me.
