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!
