Another success!

Robert represented me in my OPM Disability Retirement case. After reviewing the requirements and legal test to meet the baseline for a Disability Retirement, I knew even as an individual with a PhD, I needed learned, professional guidance. Robert came highly recommended, and he did not disappoint. On...e year from the time I retained Robert, and six month after Robert applied to OPM on my behalf, I am retired from my position with the Navy. I cannot stress enough the value of an attorney of Robert’s caliber in your corner.

This is the lawyer your want!

Attorney McGill is the knowledge and resources you need to process your case. Every question is answered and all paperwork is thoroughly reviewed. The anxiety of the process is hard enough. Mr. McGill helped me with every aspect of my case and has my respect and gratitude.

Ms. Annie Pate

I enjoyed working with Mr. McGill, he worked on my case for Federal Retirement starting in April of 2018, He was very informative on what I needed to do to reach my ultimate goal( which was to get my retirement) and he also stayed in touch with me throughout the whole process. He gave me plenty of c...ontact information in order to reach him and returned all messages that I needed response to. Mr. McGill really put my mind at ease and made my process smooth and less stressful. I received my retirement approval by January 2019 and even to this day, Mr. McGill is still in contact with me ensuring that I continue to progress in my retirement. I couldn't have asked to have a better lawyer represent me in this process, Thank you for reading and God speed.

Great Federal Disability Attorney with great results !

Mr. Robert R. McGill took my OPM disability case when I realized that I could no longer physically perform my duties as a federal police officer and when I decided to apply for an OPM disability retirement. The process seemed so overwhelming and complicated that I did not want to risk making any tech...nical mistakes with the paperwork or anything that would unintentionally cost me a denial, having then to file appeals that would cost me a much longer and unpleasant wait and unneeded aggravation. I had enough dealing with my own health problems and preferred to have a professional attorney handle the bureaucratic mess that the federal government is. Mr. McGill was very knowledgeable, experienced, quick to respond to all my questions and gave me a great sense of confidence during a very difficult time for me. I was dealing with the reality that I could not longer do the work that I truly loved and enjoyed and that changes were coming to my life. Mr. McGill took me through the process, filed all my OPM paperwork, constantly communicated with OPM and kept me updated. His services include any possible required appeals in your case, all included in the retainer contract. Being a compassionate human being, he also worked a payment plan for me. I would highly recommend his representation to any federal worker seeking an OPM medical retirement. You will be extremely satisfied with how Mr. McGill runs his law firm, always on top of things and always keeping you in the loop ! Thank you, Mr. McGill for the great and professional work that you did for me !!!

Peace of mind!

I was injured at work in October 2016. I’ve been on OWCP since then. As Mr. McGill has suggested in many of his articles, OWCP WILL try to take this away from federal employees at some point. It is happening to me now. Had I not applied for OPM disability retirement and won it, I would be “losing it”... right now! Mr. McGill put my OPM package together for me, contacted all of my doctors and somehow got my attending to write up a superb letter to OPM! It was amazing! Thank you Robert!
