Hire Attorney McGill

Mr. McGill changed my life for the better, forever. I hired him to represent me for the OPM disability retirement application and adjudication process right from the beginning, based on what other federal employees who used him had told me. I was awarded disability retirement, no appeal needed and no... questions asked, only 57 days after my application was submitted by my fed gov agency! ! I was expecting 12-18 months and maybe then an appeal. Mr. McGill offered guidance and review in my application derivation, resulting in a strong case and paperwork I felt comfortable submitting. I went from panic and form info guessing to knowing I submitted a strong case and that my forms were completed properly. He consistently returned my communications within 24 hours, often within an hour, and was always helpful and thorough. My case/medical condition was not particularly clear-cut, so I feel it was the strength of his input, legal cover letter, guidance on what medical records I needed, how to work with my doctors, explanations of process steps and timelines, and resulting quality application that made the entire difference. Now I can rest easy after not working and no income for 4 years in knowing I have secured OPM disability retirement income and health insurance for life. He offered a flat rate commensurate with my difficult financial situation, but I offered to pay him more, commensurate with my greater pay grade. I HIGHLY recommend using Mr. McGill from the very beginning, before you prepare your medical records and application, and for me the value of his service for the money is incalculable. He was honest in his assessment of the winnability of my case, no false pretenses. No-one can guarantee OPM will approve your disability in 57 days, but in using McGill, I believe you maximize your chances of success, and that is well worth the money. Don't mess around with the application game or seek cheaper lawyers like I did initially that led me astray, the system can best you - hire a good attorney (whoever it is) even if you have to borrow money, and I strongly endorse hiring Robert McGill! Btw his rates are comparable to other firms.

Excellent Federal Medical Retirement Attorney

As a physician, I tend to have very high standards and expectations for those that I hire. Mr. McGill exceeded all of my expectations. He answered his own phone when I first inquired about his services, which I found refreshing. His fees were upfront and very reasonable. He communicated well througho...ut the entire process and was almost immediately available to answer questions or respond with updates. The process took 6 months but the outcome was fantastic. I would certainly hire Mr. McGill again in a heartbeat. He took away all the uncertainty and frustration from this process and would be a bargain at twice the price.

FERS Disability Retirement

I hired Mr. McGill to represent my deaf brother. We did not use Mr. Mcgill for the initial filing and I wish we had! My brother was initially disapproved for FERS disability. After researching and phone interviews with four law firms, I chose Mr. McGill for two reasons. The reviews and the c...ost of his services. Mr. McGill appealed his case, it was denied. He took it a step further and filed a Merit Systems Protection Board appeal. He provided all the necessary documentation, worked diligently during the appeal and his case was approved before going to the formal appeal. I firmly believe had it not been for Mr. McGill acting as his agent, he would have been disapproved at the MSPB level. Hire Mr. McGill, he knows the laws and the wording OPM requires for approval. Mr. McGill is not like most lawyers, once they have your money, communication comes to a standstill. Mr. McGill responded to every phone call or email I sent on the same day, kept us informed at every step of the process, great customer service.

Great Customer Service

Attorney McGill was a blessing to me. I was real skeptical at first about hiring him for the simple reason I was not in a location where I could talk face to face and that's the norm for me. I came to the conclusion if he was bold enough do do a posting on Worker's Comp web site and after reading rev...iews on him he could be trusted. He communicated with me, returned my calls. answered my questions,and calmed my fears. He didn't brush me off but was genuinely concerned about me. I recommend him highly. My case was won.

Mr. Robert McGill (BEST DISABILITY ATTORNEY)

While working for the federal government my disabilities had me down on my knees, both mentally and physically with no light in sight for a future I had the most passion for in my entire life. While trying to hold on, day by day and month by month and not getting any help from my employer because the...y did not care for me or it's employees, only their friends, I had no other option but to look for external resources for help. When matters got so unbearable while in the worst moments of my life, I reached out to Mr. Robert McGill who specializes in government disability retirement who quickly and professionally looked at my disability case and contacted me back the following week and agreed to work with me. From this time forward, Mr. McGill emailed me and mailed me some simple documents to fill out which I returned to him I believe that same week. While going through the process, not much work was requested of me to do. All I needed to do was keep attending my appointments with my doctors and sending Mr. McGill the doctors reports. Mr. McGill also keeps in touch with the doctors by phone, email and fax to ensure consistency as the process kept moving forward. Mr. McGill also handled all communication and tasks with my employer so I did not have to. From my first time I spoke with Attorney Robert McGill, until the last time, he was always very professional, very caring and very understanding. As far as my understanding, he was always up early every day around 6am and stayed working until around 8pm. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU HIRE MR. ROBERT MCGILL TO HANDLE YOUR CASE. HE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOUR CASE IS APPROVED. If you want to speak with me about the process, I will gladly do so. THANK YOU ATTORNEY ROBERT MCGILL!!!
