10000000% would hire again

I want to say Bravo to this firm . Al Hilado and his staff Paola , Mason , Nicole and the others handled me with care . My case lasted over 3 years and they were attentive , knowledgable and guided me to victory . I had as much trust in the squad as much as they did in me . They made sure that during... this long drawn out process , that I was protected mentally , physically , emotionally and health wise . I honestly appreciate everything they did for me . I also want to state that they were recommended to me by a friend . Al has so much knowledge and experience in this field that he made sure I received EVERYTHING that I could get when it came to my case . Although my situation was life altering the squad made sure everything dealing with my case was compensated . I am very thankful for the new family I have with Hilado Law . If I had it all to do again I would choose them . Once again to the Hilado law family ... Thank you ! Cause we all know how long it took us to finally complete this case and be on the winning side .....

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!

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.

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.
