America's Feds and Postal Workers Look No Further - Robert R. McGill

Attny McGill was hired in October 2018 to prepare and complete a "hopefully" successful application for Federal Disability Retirement. He never disappointed from the initial consultation to approval. I was approved in late August 2019. Specifically, Robert is very knowledgeable and passionate about t...his administrative process. He answered me so quickly as if I were the only one Fed or Postal Worker that he was winning for. He is forthright in his approach and compassionate in his dealings when you are no longer a useful servant to Uncle Sam through no fault of your own. To that end, PLEASE contact Attny McGill if you want the best care possible. Set your team with him at the helm and you will be put to ease while the wheels of our government are in slow motion. I don't think that there was ever a better attorney - all around. God bless Attorney Robert R. McGill who diligently works for the Feds and Postal Workers of AMERICA during this bleak time of our lives. He gives hope when fear is mostly served!

Best OPM disability Lawyer hands down!!

I hired Robert McGill in July of 2018 after searching the internet for months. Every review I read spoke of Mr. McGill with such glowing reviews that I was skeptical, to say the least. As I began reading in depth articles about the whole OPM process, I quickly realized that the articles were written ...by Mr. McGill or someone would comment that he had a simpler version of the explanation on his site. After finally reaching out to him, I received a response in about 2 hours to schedule a phone consult 2 days later. After hiring him, I was sent a very thorough list of items that he required to do his job. After completing this list, the process was very smooth. Mr. McGill would contact me periodically to update me where he was at in the process or to let me know to look out for some paperwork from OPM. Whenever I had a question, I would email or call him and always get a response within 24 hours. I cannot stress how easy he made this whole process seem and truly appreciated how he held my hand through it all. After 13 months, I was approved by OPM disability. Do your due diligence but make no mistake, Robert McGill will get it done!!!

Allowed me to focus 100% on being a Caregiver, $ well spent

We highly recommend Rober R. McGill Esq. Long before we made our decision to proceed with an application for Disability Retirement. Mr. McGill was willing to entertain questions, provide valuable guidance prior to being retained. All during the process he continued to always be available for guidanc...e and address any concerns. We are so grateful for the positive decision we received within 7 months. Which was in no small measure due to Mr. McGill's expertise.

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.

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.
