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.

One Outstanding Attorney

I would highly recommend anyone undergoing the federal disability retirement process to hire Attorney Robert R. McGill. Attorney McGill is very knowledgeable, thorough, and a great communicator (he answers all emails and phone calls in a timely manner). He also produces great results as well. In ...all honesty, I was ready to give up on my case towards the end of 2019 after years of dealing with legal battles with my former agency. The years of fighting has taken its toll on me in more ways than one. The victory in my case was welcome news for the new year and hopefully brings a new chapter in my life. Throughout the process, Attorney McGill was very thorough and upbeat. I am forever grateful for the work that Attorney McGill put into my case. In closing, for all anyone who is considering filing for federal disability retirement or undergoing the appeals process, please do not go it alone. Save yourself the extra stress and trouble by hiring an Attorney.

Stellar and trustworthy!

Robert was always prompt in returning phone calls as well as emails and was exceptionally professioal! I would recommend hiring him to take your case from the very beginning. Don't wait until you attempt to write it yourself, don't do it correctly and get a denial! I could've saved months of time... and frustration if I would've hired Robert from the get-go. He was always very responsive and got back in touch with me quickly if I needed to consult with him. I can recommend him without reservation!

Disability approved in a little over 3 months after filing 1st time

I knew that I did not have what it takes to file for disability retirement on my own. I searched the web and came across Mr. McGill. He had a lot of good reviews so I called and spoke with him. He was confident and very knowledgeable, which put me at ease. He explained the claim/denial process and ga...ve me advice when asked him for it. He was prompt to return my calls and emails. I'm so glad I hired him!

Defines "Outstanding" Service

I hired Mr. McGill to represent me in a federal retirement claim. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, prompt, courteous, and most of all, effective. He patiently answered my questions, and would respond to me almost immediately. Due to his knowledge of the system, I was quickly (for the gov...ernment) approved for a disability retirement. I have no qualms about giving him a 5-star rating.
