Worth it

Robert handled my case timely and professionally. I attribute the smooth process of my retirement solely on his representation. He knows how to streamline the process and take care of you. His reputation is as good as his representation.

Postmaster

I would like to thank Mr. Robert McGill for his hard work. He worked very diligently to get all of my information, he put it together and specifically argued in my favor concerning my physical capabilities of performing the work I was assigned too. Mr. McGill always and throughly answered my questi...ons and concerns, he was very professional and extremely knowledgable about the procedures that I was faced with. He always responded to my emails and phone calls quickly. Mr. McGill worked tirelessly contacting and following up on my case with OPM, something he did not have to do. Once my case was sent to OPM he didn't have to do anything until we heard whether it was approved or disapproved. He took it upon himself to contact OPM to get my case assigned, then continued to contact OPM concerning the result. I would recommend Mr. Robert McGill to any postal employee, who needs a consult or an attorney. I believe I would not have been able to do this on my own. I am extremely happy with the work he did for me, I appreciate his efforts more than I can state.

Robert is the BEST Attorney I've ever hired!

Mr. Robert R. McGill immediately contacted me upon request for consultation. He is a “Bottom Line Up Front” (BLUF) professional Attorney that gets right to the heart of the matter. Robert was extremely responsive, knowledgeable from start to finish, and comprehensively explained the obscure and convo...luted OPM retirement process. Though I never met Robert, I will hire him again without any hesitation – he is simply the BEST!

Best Retirement Move I Made

When I was researching applying for a disability retirement there were a lot of lawyers advertising their services in that regard, but Robert is one of the few who don't operate on a contingency fee basis. I was somewhat concerned about, but after checking with 2 contingency fee based attorneys I fo...und that in the end their fee was 2 or 3 times Robert's. Not only that, after speaking to all of them I found Robert the most confident in his ability to achieve a positive outcome. Turns out Robert is well worth his fee. My disability application was approved the first time out. Additionally, I think mine was somewhat more difficult than most as I applied "after I retired". I can't say enough about Robert in regard to his handling my disability retirement application. I would recommend him to friend and family.

SMARTEST decision you'll ever make!

I can honestly say that hiring Robert Mcgill to handle my FERS disability retirement was the smartest move I have ever made in my life. I did as much research as possible beforehand, but still, it was really daunting at first and a leap of faith to hire someone that you've never met in person, but R...obert provided a list of references all over the country and I called and spoke at length with several of them- which really put my mind at ease. I don't have enough words of praise for Mr. McGill. He was incredibly responsive- always returning calls promptly and keeping me informed throughout the whole process- but most importantly, he is an *expert* at what he does. He gets the job done and delivers RESULTS. I have no doubt that it is only because of him that I received my FERS disability retirement, and it's completely changed my life. Don't hesitate for a second. There is none better than Robert Mcgill!
