Attorney Alfred Hilado is a superb intellectual disability attorney. Throughout the process in my claim Alfred showed knowledge based on education, wisdom, experience, common sense along with a proactive attitude one of respect and care. He is a man of empathy who cares about people. Regarding, SS Disability claim there wasn’t a great monetary gain, three attorneys had refused to help stating not enough financial gain. Alfred was willing to help; he will do you right and serve you well. Al will not only be your attorney but a friendly face for whatever you are facing. He will leave you with a positive attitude. By the way Al won the claim with a fully favorable order from the Judge.

Outstanding service!

Posted by

I was lucky enough to have been referred to Atty Hilado. Upon meeting Al, I knew he wasn't the typical big corporate lawyer. He was down to earth, really listened to my story learned about my life and my family. He made sure that I was always kept aware of any progress on my way claim. He went the extra mile to make sure I felt like a person and not a number. Always willing to explain everything very clearly in layman's terms. The staff at Hilado Law are top notch. Melody was always very helpful and prompt on answering my questions and emails. Al Hilado and his firm make you feel like a friend and treat you with respect. I cannot say enough about my experience with this Law firm, it was so refreshing to be an actual person and not just a number. Kudos to Al and his staff on being a law firm that others should strive to mirror From the bottom of my heart, I thank you Al for your kindness, respect, understanding and expertise.

Excellence Beyond Measure!

Posted by

Understanding the Social Security application proces is difficult and overwhelming at times. Understanding the process and how to navigate through the steps was simplified by Attorney Hilado. He was personable, honest about the process, provided options and responded to requests for assistance. Most of all he appeared genuinely concerned about my best interest and guided me to a successful result in receiving my benefits. I am grateful for all his help and highly recommend his firm.

Best choice you can make for workers comp counsel and representation

Posted by

Al represented me in a workers comp case, I could not imagine having anyone better. From the start he handled my case in a straight forward professional manner. When issues came up he gave them prompt attention and got timely results that enabled me to get the medical help I needed. Al has the time to discuss you case, hear your concerns and give you viable options. His office staff are just as professional, courteous and dependable. He is the only referral I would give to anyone seeking legal counsel in a workers compensation matter.

Great Asset to Have!

Posted by

I had been struggling several years with my case. After discussing this with a personal friend he recommended Mr. Hilado. After seeking out assistance from Mr. Hilado I definitely can see why he was recommended. Mr. Hilado spent quite a long time with me discussing every aspect of my case, probability of the outcome, and any other questions I had. Al was very thorough and dedicated throughout the entire process. If you would like a very well versed, hard working, straight shooter attorney on your side I definitely would recommend Mr. Hilado. Al and his staff are very dependable and willing to do everything they can to help you win your case.
