Excellence Beyond Measure!

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. Mos...t 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

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!

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, probabili...ty 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.

SSI Disability Benefits

My health was declining last year after my lung surgery due to lung cancer. I applied to SSI for disability benefits but was not approved. After I was denied by Social Security I decided to hire Attorney Hilado and his staff to help me. I'm very relieved that they were able to work with me, my doc...tors and the Social Security office to get my application approved. Thanks to Attorney Hilado and Melody for their guidance and help. They gave me clear expectations and instructions in our initial meeting which made it an easy process. I believe this is why I was able to obtain the much needed SSI. Melody was very patient and professional throughout the process, even with the challenges of moving to your new office. I wish you the best of luck with your new company!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
