It is the ability to see things that you may not; of knowing the laws that apply, the arguments which will work, the evidence to be submitted; these, and many more, make “the advocate” worth the price to be paid. Certainly, expenses have to be considered, but as the old adage goes, “You get what you pay for”, and you need to be careful in considering what is included.
When you call the office which you are considering as your “advocate”, does someone call you back fairly soon after leaving a voicemail? Do you get to speak to an actual lawyer — the one who should be working on your case, or do you — instead — only speak to a paralegal or someone who claims the title of, “Disability Specialist”?
What, in fact, is a “Disability Specialist”? If not a lawyer, then no amount of “specialty” in the field makes a bit of difference. Who will be working on your case? Will your case be sloughed off to some clerk or “legal specialist”, or will you actually be getting what you think you are paying for — an attorney who specializes in Federal Disability Retirement Law?
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who need to file for Federal Disability Retirement benefits from OPM, contact Robert R. McGill, Attorney at Law, and be assured that he himself, and not someone else, will be working on your case. He will, indeed, be “The Advocate” who will fight on your behalf.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
