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 .....

Rev Larry Wayne Proffitt

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.

Best choice you can make for workers comp counsel and representation

Al represented me in a workers comp case, I could not imagine having anyone better. From the start he handled my case in a straight forward professional manner. When issues came up he gave them prompt attention and got timely results that enabled me to get the medical help I needed. Al has the time... to discuss you case, hear your concerns and give you viable options. His office staff are just as professional, courteous and dependable. He is the only referral I would give to anyone seeking legal counsel in a workers compensation matter.

Great Asset to Have!

I had been struggling several years with my case. After discussing this with a personal friend he recommended Mr. Hilado. After seeking out assistance from Mr. Hilado I definitely can see why he was recommended. Mr. Hilado spent quite a long time with me discussing every aspect of my case, probabili...ty of the outcome, and any other questions I had. Al was very thorough and dedicated throughout the entire process. If you would like a very well versed, hard working, straight shooter attorney on your side I definitely would recommend Mr. Hilado. Al and his staff are very dependable and willing to do everything they can to help you win your case.

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.

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.
