Best lawyer for FERS Disability Retirement!

I had to resign from the post office because it was getting too difficult for me to work with my knees. I had already had surgery on one knee and it wasn't quite right. I was depressed and my anxiety level was through the roof by the time I found him online. Thank God for finding him. I really di...dn't think he would be able to help me, because I lived in MO. I noticed on reviews that he took on many people from all over the US. I could even ask people who had hired him before, for reference. I liked that he doesn't charge an hourly rate. I personally like to know up front what something is going to cost me and that is how he does it. I couldn't of done this without him. I'm glad he was on my side. I recommend Robert to anyone who is trying to get federal disability retirement.

Mr. McGill is the top expert in the field of Federal Disability Retirement Law under FERS.

Mr. McGill, by all accounts, is the top expert in the field of Federal Disability Retirement Law under FERS. His fee covers all 3 Stages of the process, from start to finish, wherever it goes. From the outset, he explains that OPM doesn’t automatically approve a case, no matter how strong the medic...al evidence, and therefore, he charges a fee which will cover all of the stages, as he says, because he “never abandons his clients, but sees the process all the way through.” That is what happened in my case, and we had to go all the way to the MSPB, where he was able to persuade the OPM representative at the 3rd Stage that they did not have a chance before the Administrative Judge at the MSPB, and had them reverse the Reconsideration denial and grant me the Disability Retirement. He is true to his word – he never abandoned me, and fought at every stage of the process. That is why he is considered the top expert in the field of Federal Disability Retirement Law under FERS.

Mr. McGill is a silent threat. When I retained him, he worked with on a payment plan. He started to review my case and felt very strongly about it. He assured me he would be with me through Appeal if necessary with MSPB. He got a favorable decision for within 12 months. I most certainly would refer h...im and most definitely will be using him in the future if needed.

Phenomenal!!!

Mr. McGill is an outstanding lawyer and was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the outset, he put me at ease. I am in federal law enforcement and was unable to continue working just shy of the required 20 years required to lock in my law enforcement pension for various mental health conditions.... I thought I was screwed, but he reassured me I had a winnable case. I was considering applying on my own, and I now know that would have been a mistake. He advised me to list a condition that I didn't even think would qualify me for disability, and that was the condition for which I was ultimately approved! When I mentioned I was in financial straits after racking up legal and medical bills due to divorce and my health condition, he took the initiative to contact OPM and attempt to expedite my application. I was approved within less than 3 months of my application hitting OPM. He is worth every cent.
