After I had a particularly painful crash while riding my bike in Hawaii, resulting in a visit to the ER, I reached out to Glenn to work on my case. Glenn was thorough and worked diligently to get me a fair settlement. Highly recommended! - Mike Zagorski (Masters World Champion/4x US National Champion Cyclist)

In 2010 I opened my business called Sophisticated Facial and Nail Spa; then I had an accident. I tried to move a safe out of my business and it fell on my whole body. The safe weighed over 3,000 pounds. I was in the hospital for 29 days and when I got out of the hospital I called my insurance company and they told me that this accident wouldn't be covered under my business insurance. So I contacted a couple different attorneys but none of them would take on my case. I hired a company to paint my business and then she saw that my hand had a big scar. She asked me what happened to my elbow. I told her I had an accident here at my business and my business insurance company wouldn't cover it. She asked me if I had an attorney and I explained that I went to a couple of attorneys and none of them would take on my case. She recommended an attorney by the name of Glenn Honda. I contacted him and he took my case. Glenn was very passionate and explained to me that I have a good case. In the end Glenn won my case and as a favor to me because of everything I went through that he would give me a discount and not take as much as he normally does. Glenn settled my case in less than one year. I would highly recommend Glenn Honda for any personal injury accidents. Thank you Glenn Honda for all of your help and support with my case.

Recovery Law Center made my legal experience entirely stress-free. I had two face-to-face meetings and a handful of phone calls with them. I hope I won't need their services in the future, but I will not hesitate for a second to call them if I find myself on the bad side of another rear-end! Mahalo to Jolie, Glenn, and the rest of the staff at Recovery Law Center for making this ordeal completely painless! Aloha!

An impressive Attorney. Mr. Honda was referred to me as a good lawyer. I have been represented by lawyers in the past 35 years since my husband was killed and I viewed Mr. Honda as a good attorney but since the lawyer on the opposing side was aggressive and almost intimidating as I sat by Mr. Honda's side I did not have positive or negative feelings. When it became Mr. Honda's turn to ask questions of the opposite party, his demeanor changed. Initially he did not appear to be listening intensely yet he remembered every point and in a concise, skilled and competent manner he discredited every important factor in the case. He was creative and exuded a winning energy that really amazed and surprised me. He was great and very impressive and I would very highly recommend him to everyone.

From my first exchange of words, I felt comfortable. I felt that every single person at the Recovery Law Center understood everything I was dealing with. I can't express enough gratitude, and I still struggle to put my emotions into words that would do them justice. What was and still remains effortless is trusting that the people there will always have my best interests at heart.
