He is the real thing

Robert charges a fee based on your salary up front. It is a leap of faith to do that, so I believe information about how he practices should be available for review. Federal Disability is all he practices. When you fill out the forms, he knows what to write and more importantly what not to write. I k...new that I could not go back to my job and work effectively and I wrote a statement that I believed proved that. I do not recall the details, but he told me that is just telling them you are temporarily disabled and you can go back to work. He did not tell me to lie and I didn't lie. What he did was have the experience to know how to tell the truth that will most likely earn you the disability. The man is a machine. As busy as he is, he always got back to me on the same or next business day when I had any kind of question, no matter how small. After starting the process, I would say that unless you are dying, it would be nearly impossible to win a Federal disability award with the assistance of a lawyer. I had already resigned from my position when I applied for disability. I believed my chances where slim, and writing that check was a real leap of faith, For what Mr. McGill does for you, the fee is extremely reasonable, no nickel and diming, one flat fee up front. Federal disability is all he does. He has the experience. He knows what works and what doesn't. The process is long and anxiety producing, particularly when you have put your money down and you don't know what is going to happen. Every single time I contact Mr. McGill, he got back to me right away. That gave me a feeling of security and was very helpful along the way. If you have a case for Federal Disability, I recommend Mr. McGill wholeheartedly!

Simply the Best!

I spent a lot of time searching for the right representation because applying for disability was a very hard thing to come to terms with. All of Attorney McGill's reviews are so accurate and I am thankful I found him during my search for help. When you read in his reviews that he gets right back to ...you, it is so true, sometimes within minutes. This guy, is the real deal! When you are hurting so bad and you are wondering how to even begin to start the process to apply for disability Attorney McGill is there. He puts your mind at ease, lets you know if he thinks your case is winnable and then backs it up with the law. Once my case hit OPM it took 40 days to be decided, on the initial try it was approved. I am beyond grateful I had Attorney McGill in my corner. The best advice I can give someone that is thinking about applying for disability is to reach out to Mr. McGill, you will not be sorry you did. A God send!

Great attorney!

I can’t say enough about how good of a job he has done for me. He was very attentive, prompt, and professional. He guided me through the process of seeking a medical retirement from my federal job. He took time to explain everything to me very well. I have referred a couple of colleagues to him. I w...ould strongly suggest hiring him if you are in need of a medical retirement. The process is beyond confusing without an attorney. Robert is very good at his job!

POSTAL DISABILITY

Attorney McGill was very responsive from the beginning and contacted the doctors early in the process to request the information needed. He always answered any questions we had during the process. The disability process was very stressful for me trying to apply on my own, so the money I paid Mr. McGi...ll was well with it because he knows exactly how to submit and present your case. I would HIGHLY recommend Atty McGill to guide you through the Federal Disability process. J. Wilson, Postal employee, Washington, DC Area

Excellent Attorney

I am thoroughly pleased with Robert r. McGill. I was denied FERS disabiity, so I hired Mr. McGill to file my reconsideration. He filed it timely with all the documentation he requested I get from my doctors and he wrote an excellent letter with it and sent it in with the recon form to OPM. We recei...ved an approval in less than a month. I would recommend him to anyone filing for Fers disability. He knows exactly what OPM is looking for. I can move forward now with my life.
