Best attorney out there.

I hired Al Hilado in 2006 after suffering a back injury at work. Al helped me through the entire painstacking 11 year process until we finally settled my case. His knowledge and experience is first notch. He helped me with every step of the process. He kept me informed of what the legal process was ...and what my rights were. He made sure I got the best treatment possible and wasn't afraid fobget the courts involved to see that it happened. He also gave me advice about researching different medical treatments and doctors and made sure I never did anything I wasn't comfortable doing. I had several issues with doctors within the workers comp treatment process and he stood by me and made sure I always got the treatment and outcome that wanted. I never felt like I had to compromise to make things easier. He always looked out for my best interest medically and legally throughout the 11 years it took to close my case. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone I know that needs assistance in his field of practice. He is nothing like the typical ambulance chasing injury attorneys out there looking to close a quick case and take a third of your money. His reputation in his field is way more valuable to him than money. He takes pride in his work and his ethics as an attorney and treats every client as if they were his only client and only wants what is best for them. His reputation speaks for itself and you won't find a better lawyer to make sure you are taken care when legal assistance is necessary.

Awesome attorney with great results!!

We went to visit Mr Hilado for a consultation, right from the start he welcomed us and answered all of our questions without judgement. We hired Mr Hilado without any intentions of monetary gains. We hired him strictly to help us get workers comp to follow through with our requests in a timely manner.... Mr Hilado went above and beyond to get us results that were way above any expectations and faster than imaginable. He has been a man that has stood behind his word from square one and helped us when we didn't see an end in sight. Very honest, reliable, family oriented and truthfully a great attorney. We couldn't be happier with our end results. Given the chance to do it again, we'd 100% go with Mr Hilado.

Very sincerely caring professional

Mr. Hilado was my attorney in a work comp case. From the very start, he was a very sincere attorney that cared about me as an individual and for the welfare of my family. Not only did he fight for me, he saved my life. Not just Al but his whole staff took the time for me and talked me through every s...tep. I highly recommend Al Hilado and his office for any legal needs.
