- Vincent Yano Mr. Glenn Honda is a true professional and excellent attorney. He has been my attorney for 18 years. When I started my business, he assisted me in writing my contract. He also wrote letters for me when I encountered problematic situations. He completed my Living Trust and Last Will and Testament. Mr. Honda is astute and doesn’t leave any stone unturned. He is unequivocally the best attorney. I convey, via this rating tool, my highest recommendation.
- Billy English I got great service! (I was a 2 time client)
- Lynne Ewart Glen and his staff are incredible!!! We were in quite a jam for 9 months... They got the best results possible. They really reach out to those who need it. They stuck by our side the whole time... We are a new family starting out and without their help we would be sunk. Thank you Glen and George.
- Elizabeth S. These guys got me taken care and got some coin in my pocket while settling all the legal things for me. Thanks guys!
- Remberto Barrientos I was referred by a friend that I worked with at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. I am beyond grateful that Glenn Honda from Recovery Law Center represented me & helped me with every single step & detail in my injury case. He & his legal team were so respectful, kind, & caring from the very beginning. Mr. Honda is the most genuine, patient, & hardest working Attorney that I have ever had in Hawaii. I was unfortunately hurt by a driver many years ago & the Attorney that helped me at that time did not fight for me. He was not consistent with his legal advice & counsel. I was just one of many clients & didn’t get the support needed in my case. In the end I was left with very little from the settlement. But with Mr. Honda, he not only is intelligent & knowledgeable in your case, he will fight for you & your family. He has the passion & tenacity to not give up until you have the best outcome for your case. He will look at every way possible to help you. He has the integrity needed & kept his word. He & his staff also took all the financial pressure off from the accident & the bills that came with it. They handled all the paperwork & were so supportive. Mr. Honda gave me many options of how he could help me in my specific case. He went above & beyond to achieve the best settlement offer for me & my family! I absolutely will always recommend him to my family, friends, & anyone needing help in an injury case. He & his team have exceptional service & if I ever need legal representation again in the future, he will definitely be the Attorney that represents me!
- Deborah Au The service provided by Glenn and his team was amazing. They are held in high regards amongst many other practices and it is true that his professionalism is beyond words. I have never seen individuals work well together and help get your case solve in a timely manner. I was fortunate enough to come across Glenn and his willingness to help without a moments hesitation. If you're looking for an accident/recovery lawyer, look no further. I personally would recommend Glenn Honda to those who are looking for an exceptional lawyer who treats you how you want to be treated.
- David K. Glenn and the Recovery Law Center were there for me and my wife every step of her recovery. Glenn made sure we understood what we needed to and didn't drown us in the details while also being easy to reach and ask questions. His expertise was top notch and advice was always on point.
