I RECOMMEND THIS LAW FIRM.

By Albert W. on Jan. 31, 2022 I am a very happy client of Hilado Law. They do an exceptional job. I was a little confused when I started out, but Mr. Hilado helped me tremendously, he made me feel like one of his family members. Whenever I called in, I was greeted very pleasantly by the staff, and... all of my questions were answered in a very timely manner. Mr. Hilado takes the extra steps to help you understand the process, and I am very happy with the results. Some of my friends told me it took many years for them to finally get Social Security disability. I tried to go about it myself and I was quickly denied. But after I retained the Hilado law firm I started receiving my Social Security Disability payments in less than a year. I would recommend this law firm to anyone. Thank you Hilado Law PLCC.

Attorney Alfred Hilado is a superb intellectual disability attorney. Throughout the process in my claim Alfred showed knowledge based on education, wisdom, experience, common sense along with a proactive attitude one of respect and care. He is a man of empathy who cares about people. Regarding, SS Di...sability claim there wasn’t a great monetary gain, three attorneys had refused to help stating not enough financial gain. Alfred was willing to help; he will do you right and serve you well. Al will not only be your attorney but a friendly face for whatever you are facing. He will leave you with a positive attitude. By the way Al won the claim with a fully favorable order from the Judge.

Highly recommended

Mr. Hilado took on my very difficult disability case, and not only was he professional, diligent, knowledgeable, and accessible, but was also victorious. I am grateful beyond words for his advocacy.

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.

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!
