Federal prison retirement

Robert McGill is the best! I usually do not write reviews but after all this man has done for me and my family I can’t leave this earth without someone knowing about him! Please, if you need disability retirement benefits he is lawyer! He fought for me and won my case. He knows his stuff! He can be t...rusted. He is not about money! Do not let the initial fee scare you because in the end it will be well worth it and your case will be approved. What a great man he is! No need to keep searching the internet looking for a lawyer like I did. I was worn out, stressed, overwhelmed, and depressed. I prayed and ended up on his website. The reviews speak for itself! He treated me like a human! A real person! My burdens are lifted and my case was approved today! I thank God for Mr. McGill! He’s here for us! He’s here to fight for you! He WILL win your case!

OUTSTANDING Service and Invaluable Peace of Mind

When I became seriously injured while working for the United States Post Office, I was told by my Orthopedic Surgeon that I was 100% disabled. I was already in the process of applying for Workers Compensation (without an attorney). That was a never-ending nightmare of filling out forms, gathering med...ical records, asking doctors to write letters, making phone calls, uploading documents, being denied, requesting appeals, being denied… It was very time-consuming and beyond stressful. My injury occurred before my official retirement date and I learned that Federal employees who become disabled have an option to retire early; Federal Employee Disability Retirement. This was something I was uneducated about, so I went online to learn what it consisted of and what steps I needed to take. I discovered a treasure-trove of well-written and extremely informative articles on the subject written by Mr. Robert R. McGill. https://federaldisabilitylawyer.com/federal-disability-retirement-articles/ After reading them, I felt confident that Mr. McGill should handle my case. Though I do not live in the same state he practices in, because he is a Federal Attorney, this was not an issue. Thank goodness. Our phone consultation cemented my decision to hire Mr. McGill specifically. He is personable, attentive, and an extremely knowledgeable professional who asked good questions, answered all of my questions, and left me feeling certain that he would work hard for me. And that’s exactly what he did. He took on all the responsibilities I would have had to, such as filling out and submitting forms, obtaining medical information and statements from doctors, and attended to numerous other details that would have had me confused and overwhelmed -- and he kept me apprised throughout the entire process. There were times I received requests for information from an agency and asked Mr. McGill what I was to do, only to learn that he’d already handled it! There is no way to describe the peace-of-mind hiring him gave me. I’ve dealt with attorneys in other matters who were robotic, had assistants doing most of their work, communications, and the answering of questions. They handled cases in a cookie-cutter manner; going through the motions and rarely speaking directly to the client. Mr. McGill treated me like a person, not a “case”, answering all of my questions personally and patiently. He answers all email and phone messages personally and promptly, and is always courteous, never dismissive. I was continually amazed at how much attention to detail he gave, at his thoroughness, his excellent communication, and how freeing it’s been not to have to do all the paperwork, and make all the phone calls, and attend to all the other aspects of filing for Federal Employee Disability Retirement. I have never regretted hiring Mr. McGill. His friendly, easy-going manner helped me to relax. His experience and vast knowledge made me feel assured that I had the right man for the job. He never promised I would receive an acceptance to my application for Federal Employee Disability Retirement and even prepared me for the likelihood that it would be denied, at least once, as a matter of course. However, it was approved first time out, I am now officially on Federal Employee Disability Retirement, and Mr. McGill is still making himself available to me for any questions or concerns. My confidence in him is unmeasurable. If you are considering Federal Employee Disability Retirement, don’t stress yourself out any further. Give Mr. McGill a call. 1-800-990-7932 He won’t charge you for his time and he will explain what to expect and will answer all of your questions. His manner, and his outstanding service, will put you at ease, enabling you to attend to your medical condition while he helps you retire smoothly. I'm sure, like me, you will find him to provide outstanding service and invaluable peace of mind.

Set Your Mind at Ease

Mr. McGill's knowledge of OPM and federal disability law really made the journey tolerable. Other lawyers said my timeline was too short and caveated their efforts. Robert not only took the case but helped instill confidence. It was a stressful 10-month process of gathering documentation and waiting.... Lots of waiting. The package was awarded on the first submission. Robert’s counsel and review really add confidence to the ultimate bureaucratic challenge. When you call him, it is direct communication without layers of staff. Any calls were either immediately answered or promptly returned. Look no further, and set your mind at ease by retaining his services. It still requires some effort and initiative to secure this benefit. His guidance through the myriad of forms and agencies, and the legal insights were invaluable.

OPM Federal Disability Retirement

Robert McGill is an excellent lawyer in his field. We submitted my packet in November to HR. OPM received my packet in March and I was approved in less than a month, and I retire in 8 days and counting! Excellent,. We'll done. Superb lawyer.

Faa Disability retirement

If you are about to apply for federal disability retirement, I can not stress enough, HIRE THIS MAN!!! I made the mistake of thinking I could do it on my own and OPM denied my case. I then hired Mr. McGill to file reconsideration for me, and it was approved in 3 months!! 100% know that if it wasn’t... for him, it would have been denied again. Do not feel apprehensive if he is not located near you. We did everything via phone calls, emails, mail and he still got the job done. He always answers HIS OWN PHONE CALLS so there is no middle person. DO NOT LOOK FOR ANOTHER DISABILITY LAWYER, he is the BEST OF THE BEST!!!
