Social Security Disability

If you are considering filing a claim for Social Security disability benefits, be forewarned that it may prove to be a long and arduous task. We wanted an attorney who could be both professional and personable; one who could guide us through the process with fair and honest counsel. A family law at...torney recommended Mr. Hilado because of his experience with disability cases. From beginning to end, Al and his staff was there to help us understand the process and set realistic expectations. The time involved was grueling, but at the end of the tunnel, our case was won! If we had the experience to do over again, Al Hilado would be our first call!

Attorney Hilado is incredible!!!

Recently, I had a Workman's Compensation case against a local hospital, however no attorney in Brevard County would represent. I contacted a friend and he recommended Attorney Al J. Hilado. I have worked with him for the past 6 years and Mr. Hilado won my case!!!!! He is respectful, professional, int...egrity and compassionate. He really cares about his clients and goes above his "normal" duties. There is no gratitude enough to say what an amazing attorney he is and his amazing staff!!!

Outstanding Representation

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Al Hilado to anyone looking for a excellent Workmens Compensation or Disability attorney. Al, and his assistant Melody, provided me a level of representation that far exceeded my expectations. Both Al and Melody were professional, dedicated, and honest in h...elping me obtain my Social Security Disability. I was denied twice, but Al and Melody stayed the course and through their diligent efforts and hard work we were successful.I am eternally greatful to Al and Melody and if you are looking for an honest attorney who gets results, Al Hilado is the man to hire.

Don't Look Anywhere Else!

In 2009 I had two life changing events, one good, one bad. I sustained a major knee injury at work just by walking. A few months later, things turned much better. I was referred to Mr. Hilado from a mutual friend. I was having some issues at work with the injury and was starting to get nervous. ...Mr. Hilado went so far above the expectations and actually called me at home. Oh, by the way, it was a Friday night around 9:00pm when he called me. We talked for awhile about what was going on and he quickly put me at ease. He told me to call first thing Monday morning and to set up a meeting. After just a few minutes in our consultation I had my mind made up, I want him on my side and not against me. The next several years Mr. Hilado kept on me about going to the doctor and making sure that my case remained open. Last year I told him that I planned on retiring and he walked me through all of my options. After a tough decision, I decided to close out my case and just move on. We started negotiations and that is when Mr. Hilado began to truly shine. He really went to bat for me and fought for every benefit that I deserved. Now that everything is over I hope that I can keep in touch with him. Mr. Hilado never treated me like a client, he always made me feel like a family member and it showed in the case results. Thank you for everything Al, you made it truly memorable.
