Attorney Hilado is incredible!!!

Recently, I had a Workman's Compensation case against a local hospital, however no attorney in Brevard County would represent. I contacted a friend and he recommended Attorney Al J. Hilado. I have worked with him for the past 6 years and Mr. Hilado won my case!!!!! He is respectful, professional, int...egrity and compassionate. He really cares about his clients and goes above his "normal" duties. There is no gratitude enough to say what an amazing attorney he is and his amazing staff!!!

Great Team

Al and his team spend endless man hours on my case when worker's comp no longer assisted me the way they intended. He was able to get approval quickly so that I could have diagnostic testing, epidurals and eventually surgery on my lower back. I was compensated more than expected thanks to him and h...is team. He truly listened to me and I felt he truly cares. If it wasn't for him I would have just given up. Thank you!

A good and caring Lawyer in Orlando

I am very pleased with my choice of hiring attorney Al Hilado. Al's impeccable knowledge of the law for workers compensation is truly amazing. He and his assistant always kept me updated of the progress of my case. Not one time was I worried about how he was representing me. When Al explained ...the laws governing workers compensation, he made sure I understood everything he was saying. Always asking if I had any questions. I had to say no. That's how good he explained everything!! He's so good, he is also helping with with my social security disability claim. I highly recommend Al and his firm if you are looking for excellent representation and someone who cares about you. Thank you very much for your help!

Don't Look Anywhere Else!

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.

Worker's Compensation review

I've had the pleasure to work with Al Hilado. He helped me get two needed surgeries and other benefits on a worker’s compensation case. He is a seasoned attorney who answered all my questions timely. My case was lengthy so I got to know Al. He is a caring person who takes his clients interests to hea...rt. Al mediated my settlement for over 175,000.00 dollars. I can’t thank him and his staff enough.
