If you want the best, work with Robert R. McGill - FERS Disability Lawyer

Mr. McGill worked my complicated FERS disability case in less than a year. This was one of the most stressful and ever-changing periods in my personal and professional life. Robert worked tirelessly with me, my doctors and my agency points of contact (e.g. supervisors) to build my case. Robert's no-...nonsense approach and plain speak, along with his unparalleled expertise and his logic, made the process seem easier than I expected, though I know that Robert moved mountains to get my packages together. Robert is genuine and forthright. Robert keeps clients apprised throughout the process and sets proper expectations. If you are suffering from a disability or many disabilities that impact your performance in a Federal position and which make you unqualified and unable to perform, Robert is the person you need to hire. His fees are extremely reasonable. Robert goes out of his way to be affordable to all clients. He charges a "fair price" based on your federal salary up to a maximum amount. For timeliness, quality, and value, I highly recommend working with Robert McGill. I am very thankful for Robert's support. Should the need arise, I will definitely be returning to Robert for legal services. Brendon J Johnson Former/Retired Senior Procurement Executive - U.S. Small Business Administration

Mr. Haroldsen

My wife asked to try to file my own OPM FERS Disability Retirement by myself, and I was denied. He successfully represented me for OPM FERS Disability Retirement claim at the reconsideration level. He worth his fee.

I hired Mr. McGill after my initial attempt at getting my OPM disability retirement was denied. He came highly recommended and I now know why. He is professional, knowledgeable, has reasonable fees and great communication skills. I have to say that most bigger practices you never even speak to the at...torney, it's usually their legal assistant or staff. I only spoke directly with Mr. McGill every time. He had my reconsideration put in as soon as my doctors got the correct information to him and I am now an OPM retiree. I highly recommend hiring Mr. McGill and cannot thank him enough.

The BEST!! If it hadn’t been for Mr. McGill I’m sure I would not have been approved!

If I hadn’t hired Mr. McGill, I would not have been approved for retirement. In a state of hubris I had attempted to apply for disability retirement on my own and of course I was denied at the first stage. With Mr. McGill’s skillful work, I was approved on the first appeal. Please don’t make the same... mistake I made by trying to do it on your own. The cost of hiring Mr. McGill is a negligible in light of his expertise and the emotional stress that it protects you from. Excellent attorney and service! Highly recommended!!

Friendly, personable, and 100 Percent Successful

I have to begin by saying that as a result of working very closely with attorneys for over 20 years, when it came time that I actually needed one, I knew what I didn’t want. I looked for an attorney that specializes in disability retirement and within that, one that knew the OPM process governing fe...deral employees. Mr. Robert McGill kept rising to the top of the list, search after search. Upon initial contact with Robert, the first thing he did was to offer a long list of previous clients that I could contact for references. A quick note about that: a the end of my case, he asked if he could use me as a reference and put me on that list. He never asked what my review would be, what I would say, or asked me to say anything or to not say anything. I contacted a few, all of whom gave raving reviews, and even found one or two that had retired from the same agency I was with. His experience, reviews from previous clients, and his very reasonable fee convinced me to hire him. Once I signed the representation agreement, he got to work immediately. He really does work hard to make the client feel that he is waiting on you, instead of the other way around. In all those years I worked for, with, and had attorneys work for me, Robert is the only lawyer I have seen that did that. He is just amazing. His work on my case was 100% successful ending in OPM approving my disability retirement from the FAA. I recommend Robert McGill and believe that going with another attorney is doing a disservice to yourself. End of statement.
