Al and his team are very knowledgeable, precise and they tell you the truth, no reading between the lines. If you need an attorney The Hilado Law Firm is the best, you won't be disappointed.

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.

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.

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Hilado and his team are incredible and clearly some of the best in the field of workers comp, based on our experience. I was struck in the head while on the job. The workers comp company was giving me problems with my case. One day I decided to look for a good lawyer in the Orlando area. I found ...Mr. Hilado and he assured my mom and I that I would be taken care of. Throughout the course of our consultations, Mr. Hilado was an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. I was given the entire, bigger picture, before focusing on the specifics of our case, which gave us a sound understanding of the whole, and confidence in Mr. Hilado ability to pursue my case. I appreciate their office for being approachable, extremely professional and pushing relentlessly for the success of my filing. Personally, I do not feel we could be in better hands. Can’t thank him enough. Highly recommended!
