OUTSTANDING Service and Invaluable Peace of Mind

When I became seriously injured while working for the United States Post Office, I was told by my Orthopedic Surgeon that I was 100% disabled. I was already in the process of applying for Workers Compensation (without an attorney). That was a never-ending nightmare of filling out forms, gathering med...ical records, asking doctors to write letters, making phone calls, uploading documents, being denied, requesting appeals, being denied… It was very time-consuming and beyond stressful. My injury occurred before my official retirement date and I learned that Federal employees who become disabled have an option to retire early; Federal Employee Disability Retirement. This was something I was uneducated about, so I went online to learn what it consisted of and what steps I needed to take. I discovered a treasure-trove of well-written and extremely informative articles on the subject written by Mr. Robert R. McGill. https://federaldisabilitylawyer.com/federal-disability-retirement-articles/ After reading them, I felt confident that Mr. McGill should handle my case. Though I do not live in the same state he practices in, because he is a Federal Attorney, this was not an issue. Thank goodness. Our phone consultation cemented my decision to hire Mr. McGill specifically. He is personable, attentive, and an extremely knowledgeable professional who asked good questions, answered all of my questions, and left me feeling certain that he would work hard for me. And that’s exactly what he did. He took on all the responsibilities I would have had to, such as filling out and submitting forms, obtaining medical information and statements from doctors, and attended to numerous other details that would have had me confused and overwhelmed -- and he kept me apprised throughout the entire process. There were times I received requests for information from an agency and asked Mr. McGill what I was to do, only to learn that he’d already handled it! There is no way to describe the peace-of-mind hiring him gave me. I’ve dealt with attorneys in other matters who were robotic, had assistants doing most of their work, communications, and the answering of questions. They handled cases in a cookie-cutter manner; going through the motions and rarely speaking directly to the client. Mr. McGill treated me like a person, not a “case”, answering all of my questions personally and patiently. He answers all email and phone messages personally and promptly, and is always courteous, never dismissive. I was continually amazed at how much attention to detail he gave, at his thoroughness, his excellent communication, and how freeing it’s been not to have to do all the paperwork, and make all the phone calls, and attend to all the other aspects of filing for Federal Employee Disability Retirement. I have never regretted hiring Mr. McGill. His friendly, easy-going manner helped me to relax. His experience and vast knowledge made me feel assured that I had the right man for the job. He never promised I would receive an acceptance to my application for Federal Employee Disability Retirement and even prepared me for the likelihood that it would be denied, at least once, as a matter of course. However, it was approved first time out, I am now officially on Federal Employee Disability Retirement, and Mr. McGill is still making himself available to me for any questions or concerns. My confidence in him is unmeasurable. If you are considering Federal Employee Disability Retirement, don’t stress yourself out any further. Give Mr. McGill a call. 1-800-990-7932 He won’t charge you for his time and he will explain what to expect and will answer all of your questions. His manner, and his outstanding service, will put you at ease, enabling you to attend to your medical condition while he helps you retire smoothly. I'm sure, like me, you will find him to provide outstanding service and invaluable peace of mind.

The best of the best in obtaining a FERS medical retirement

Mr. Robert McGill will initially give you a free telephone consultation to hear your particular situation and will then sincerely let you know if he thinks you have a chance at successfully securing a medical retirement with OPM. He will then provide you a long list of references for you to review. ... I did exactly that, and everyone I contacted told me how great he was. I also read just about all his reviews available, and did not encounter one single negative review. Additionally, I read the many articles/blogs that he has written regarding this medical retirement process and It became quite evident that he is an authority in this field. After speaking with Mr. McGill a second time, I retained his services. From day one, he was extremely professional, informative, patient, and honest. He will personally promptly return all calls and emails. No secretary, no paralegal, or any other type of assistant will speak you, but just him. He will keep you posted every step of the way, and will go above and beyond to help you secure your medical retirement. From the day OPM received my completed package (after my employer did their part and forwarded it to them), it took OPM 10 weeks to approve my case. Mr McGill knows the ins and outs of this convoluted process and will prepare a solid case to submit to OPM. He is by far the best in this field! He is the real deal and will give your case 100% of his experience, knowledge, and ability. Do not waste your time with anyone else! His fees, in my opinion, are extremely low for the level of professional representation you will receive. I am forever grateful to him. God bless him!

Federal Police Officer

Mr. McGill's professionalism, dedication, and attention to every last detail is beyond any reasonable persons expectations. As a federal police officer with 20 plus years of service experiencing signification back complications, Mr. McGill provided my family and I with the peace of mind needed right ...from the beginning of the retirement process. His direct approach and experience was observable from the very first free consult. He was by far the most responsive attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He responds to calls, emails, and text messages within minutes! This is not an exaggeration. The no hassle flat rate fee is known from the beginning and my choice to hire Mr. McGill from the start of my case was the best decision I could have made. The case was handled start to finish by Robert with the desired successful outcome in an extraordinarily short few months! I fear had I attempted this on my own I would still be trying to navigate the murky waters of the federal government. If you are an injured federal employee and thinking about an early retirement from service then I highly recommend reaching out to Mr. McGill. Words here cannot say enough how appreciative my family and I are for his service on our behalf. I know its difficult reading these reviews and being on the other end wondering if what is being said is the truth as I was thinking the same thing before I reached out to Mr. McGill directly. Let me assure you, I am speaking the truth and I am confident Mr. McGill will live up to everything I have written in this review for you! Thank you for reading and I wish you the best!

Best Attorney Money Can Buy

Even if you are simply considering the idea of a Federal disability retirement, you need to at least reach out and give Mr. McGill a call ASAP. It costs you nothing to get his initial thoughts on your specific situation. Don't do what I did and waist time looking into other options. He is hands down ...the subject matter expert in this field with the history and track record to prove it. Whatever you do, I highly recommend that you seek professional assistance when pursuing this path. Getting your case package built, submitted and approved is unbelievably challenging. Fortunately for me, I hired Mr. McGill at the onset. During our initial consultation, he evaluated my situation and gave me his honest feedback regarding my odds of winning my case. After hearing his analysis, I decided to hire him and it was the best decision I could have made. Mr McGill won my case and I can easily say that in hindsight, there is definitely no way I could have done this on my own successfully!
