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 Di...sability 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!

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.
