Worth Every Penny!!! My OPM Disability Retirement Is Approved!!!

Robert R. McGill expertly handled my application for OPM disability retirement, and it was approved! It was a complex case, because I had already separated from federal service. But he did not flinch, he just handled it. Here are some details about my experience with him. He always answered his p...hone, or he called me back the same day every time. I never had to deal with an assistant, just him directly, every time! He answers his e-mail, same day, every time! He clearly, directly, and effectively explains what you need to do. He clearly, directly, and effectively explains what he is going to do. Once all of the steps/tasks are accomplished, and the package is ready, he submits it and keeps tabs on OPM. He is there throughout the whole process, including when complexities arise. I hired him because I was told he is the best. I recommend him now because it is true. If you need your disability retirement to be approved, he'll get it done.

Fantastic Federal Disability Retirement Expert

I went to Robert after having initially fired my Federal Disability Retirement paperwork on my own and was denied. He assisted me on the appeal and eventually to the review board. Ultimately we were successful thanks to Robert's knowledge and skills of the inner workings at OPM. I will forever be gra...teful for his assistance in a successful outcome for my case.

Robert R McGill is the BEST. I tried to do my own Medical Retirement. I filled out the application sent all the information from my doctors, did everything OPM(Office of Personal Management), asked of me. For 2 years I put up with all the run around OPM threw at me. Trying to deal with management at ...the IRS, the Best Specialist(who couldn't help me with anything) & OPM all at the same time - what a joke! Then a denial letter. I was so physically & emotionally devastated. I was ready to give up. After some research, a prayer and a blessing, I found Robert R McGill. Just his website will inform you he knows what he's doing. I had my consultation, he said I had a case, I filled out the hiring packet, paid the fee, & he took it from there. He answered every question I had, usually within hours. What a great relief. After Robert took my case, I was approved for the medical retirement 10 months after OPM received his letter. My advice, look at his website, you'll realize his knowledge and qualifications. I am so glad I talked to Robert before I just gave up. Best decision I had made in a long time.

Excellent advice with quick responses

I hired Robert on advice of another paralegal. Due to the complex situation no other lawyer would take my case; Robert took my case and in less than 7 months OPM ruled in my favor.

A+

The best $5,000 I have spent in my lifetime. No kidding. I tried to file my disability retirement on my own the first go around and it was a nightmare. I filled out all paperwork and submitted everything they asked for. A year and a half into it they stopped responding. Did not answer written request...s for information, phone was either busy or they didn't return messages. I finally got through to someone after calling every single day for at least a month. They said my claim was disapproved and I would receive a formal denial and instructions on how to appeal in the mail. It never showed up. OPM is a hot mess of incompetent chaos. The best thing I ever did was hire Mr. McGill for the second go around. He has channels that he can take advantage of to communicate with OPM that the majority of us don't. He made sure all my paperwork was in order, all my Dr. notes had the proper information, and got things done. While it was still another year and a half before it was settled (let's face it, OPM has two speeds, slow and slower) I have no doubt that my claim would have been kicked out again if not for him. My only regret was not hiring him sooner, then this mess would have been over in a year and a half instead of three years.
