Al Hilado

Workers Compensation law can be difficult to navigate and everyone needs the advice of a professional. When dealing with WC. Al is on Top of this process. He and his assistant Melody are always available to answer any question. They are very diligent and hard working, to serve you as a client. I am ...very thankful for their support and knowledge in handling my case.

SSDI

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.

Professional Legal Representation

I Just wanted to take a moment to let you know of my experience with Al Hilado and his Law Firm "Wieland, Hilado and Delatre". Word cannot express the professionalism you and your staff had given us in our time of need. Far too often, I hear people complain about their legal representation. I' m a ...retired law enforcement officer who was injured in the line of duty. I wanted to take the time to write to let you know that I'm very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Al Hilado throughout my case, he was always very quick to respond to my questions, made himself available during times that most would consider after hours and always patient in explaining the details and developments of my case. The stressful time my family and I were going through was made so much easier with all of Al Hilado guiding me through the process, and I would definitely recommend your law firm to anyone of my co-workers, friends and family. I actually did that with several of my coworkers , who also were injured on and off the job. Upon settlement of my case, I felt it was a fair settlement amount and that Mr. Hilado did everything in his power to ensure this process had truly been smooth and as comfortable as possible. Every step along the way, which was a true long journey, I was kept informed of the progress, I could not have asked for more! Sincerely, Larry P.

Definitely hire

Al Hilado was successful in winning my very difficult case. He was very approachable the entire length of the case. It took over 2 years. He and his staff kept me up to date and whenever I had a question he was very easy to reach by phone or email. I am very grateful to him as he has helped my fa...mily tremendously. I will absolutely contact him again if I ever need help in the future.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
