About Robert
Biography
I am an OPM Disability Retirement Lawyer and have been practicing Federal Disability Retirement Law for over 25+ years.
Federal Disability Retirement, under FERS or CSRS, is a “paper presentation” to the U.S. Officer of Personnel Management. If it is denied twice — both at the Initial Stage of the process as well as at the Second, Reconsideration Stage — then an appeal can be filed with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. To be successful in geting disability retirement benefits at any of the 3 stages, it is important to consult with an OPM Federal Disability Retirement Lawyer to optimize your chances of success.
As an OPM Disability Retirement Lawyer, I believe that my educational background and experience makes me uniquely qualified in this field, and that is why I enjoy a high rate of success in getting my clients approved — at all three stages of the process.
I charge a “flat fee” — a 1-time fee not based upon an hourly rate. I decided years ago that I was not going to “nickle-and-dime” my clients, and that my clients were going to know up front what I charge.
I earned a B.A. in Philosophy from the Catholic University of America and graduated at the top of my class, summa cum laude. I then went on to do graduate work at the University of Virginia, and completed all course work for a Masters in Philosophy. Thereafter, I went to Law School and graduated from the Columbus School of Law, earning my Juris Doctor Degree.
My background and training in logic, analytical thought, writing technical philosophical treatises, and earning further training in the Law has prepared me to practice Administrative Law, where the majority of legal argumentation is through paper submissions and transactions. Persuasive argumentation, logical delineation and legal analysis are the tools for a successful outcome in representing Federal and Postal workers to obtain their Federal Disability Retirement benefits.
It is a passion of mine, and my clients will attest to the thoroughness of my work.

Thank you!
I was too impaired to file my own application for FERS DR. Atty McGill evaluated my situation, helped me understand the OPM process, and made sure that all my paperwork was in order.

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.

Excellent service and great attorney
Mr. McGill was hired to prepare my OPM Retirement package. He did a fantastic job. Very easy to contact and converse with. His jurisprudence is uncanny. He was the consummate professional throughout a long and tedious process. I highly recommend Robert McGill.

Effective attorney
Mr McGill did an excellent job getting my FERS reconsideration approval, for which I’m thankful. I believe it would have taken an extra year without his expertise. Thanks Mr McGill for your professional help. Worth every penny!

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...
