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.

Best Decision of my LIFE!

Hiring Mr. McGill is the best decision you can make if you are considering applying for disability retirement. His knowledge of the entire process is unsurpassed and he guides you through every step of the way. I am officially retired from the FAA and I could not have done it without his help! His ex...pertise is worth EVERY PENNY!

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.

PAINLESS!

Phenomenal outcome! I was approved for a medical retirement from the Dept of Veteran Affairs thanks to Mr. McGill's counsel. He was professional, expedient, competent and consistently followed up with me. I appreciate him more than I can express. Look no further, he's your guy.

Highly recommend

Robert filed my USPS FERS disability for me after an off the job injury. It was so stressful not knowing how I was going to move forward after working for the PO for 24 years. Robert made the process so easy and any questions I had were answered VERY promptly and with much empathy. He is very knowled...geable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs this type of lawyer.
