Alfred Jeffrey Hilado

Mr. Alfred Hilado and his assistant Melody Reece were just exceptional through this case from beginning to end. My former employer decided to drag this case out for nearly four years and I was never left feeling like it was a hopeless journey. I was always kept up to date on what was happening and al...l of my requests were always met with positive results. In the end I was awarded the maximum compensation allowed for this case. I couldn't have made a better choice then Mr. Hilado to represent me.

In 2009 I had two life changing events, one good, one bad. I sustained a major knee injury at work just by walking. A few months later, things turned much better. I was referred to Mr. Hilado from a mutual friend. I was having some issues at work with the injury and was starting to get nervous. ...Mr. Hilado went so far above the expectations and actually called me at home. Oh, by the way, it was a Friday night around 9:00pm when he called me. We talked for awhile about what was going on and he quickly put me at ease. He told me to call first thing Monday morning and to set up a meeting. After just a few minutes in our consultation I had my mind made up, I want him on my side and not against me. The next several years Mr. Hilado kept on me about going to the doctor and making sure that my case remained open. Last year I told him that I planned on retiring and he walked me through all of my options. After a tough decision, I decided to close out my case and just move on. We started negotiations and that is when Mr. Hilado began to truly shine. He really went to bat for me and fought for every benefit that I deserved. Now that everything is over I hope that I can keep in touch with him. Mr. Hilado never treated me like a client, he always made me feel like a family member and it showed in the case results. Thank you for everything Al, you made it truly memorable.

In June I felt overwhelmed with the SS forms, to do's, applications, reference material, medical records etc, you know the government layers of bureaucracy. I elected to hire an attorney to run the interference for me. It was late June when I spoke with Al Hilado, who guided me thru the process of a...pplication submission. He told me straight up, it is a marathon not a sprint, I must be patient. He mentored me to just get the ball rolling. I followed his verbal guidance, to the tee. Yesterday, after having my morning coffee, reading email, low and behold I was approved on 08/22/2017, in less than 60 days. he then coached me on the 5 month wait period, which was a downer, but god blessed me to get off my behind and put Al into my life. If I can do it, you can too!

Al Hilado is a very professional and helpful attorney. During the review process, Al was very thorough in explaining the process. I have never dealt with another disability attorney however, after hearing the nightmares of some of my friends who have filed and been denied, I rate him "NUMBER 1" as an... attorney and new friend. Al was aware of my needs and was always there for us during the filing process. It was sort of like he grabbed my hand and lead me through from the beginning to the end. We were impressed with Al's memory when it came to our case as well as the government requirements and the filing process. When it was time to go before the judge, he was very professional and knowledgeable of my case. Even the judge had a respectful acceptance of Al.
