What Our Clients Say
Just want to Thank Glen Honda, Jolie and the Recovery Law Center for being supportive caring and having my back from the beginning to the end of my journey.
They handled every little detail of my case and always took the time to email, call and or check on me. I am grateful for all of their efforts and hard work. Mahalo.

Compassionate & Aggressive Representation. I was at a stop light when I was hit from behind by someone who was not paying attention. In addition to the damages to my car I was injured. The insurance company overwhelmed me with paperwork. It was an extremely difficult time for me.
I was referred to Mr. Honda by a friend. Mr. Honda was only concerned about me and my injuries. He told me to concentrate on getting better and not to worry about anything else. It was such a relief not having to worry about the paperwork jungle that the insurance company was putting me through. He was able to negotiate a fair settlement for me without having to go through litigation.
I would recommend Mr. Honda because his focus is really on the client's well being rather than the dollar amount of the case. Thank you Mr. Honda for your compassion towards me and, your aggressive approach with the insurance company.

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)

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.

Once again, I had the misfortune of being in an accident on the road again. First time, a careless tourist hit me while I was driving on my motorcycle and just recently, a rear end collision while waiting for the traffic light to change.
In both cases, I have been well informed on getting a fair settlement for my injuries, and resolving all issues, including recommending a physician that specialized in assisting in my recovery on the injuries.
I highly recommend Glenn Honda, and his staff at Recovery Law Center to anyone who is looking for a law firm that knows the legal system and cares about their clients too.

Aloha, The team at Recovery Law Center was exceptional beyond expectations. Their professionalism, insight of my situation, and knowledge was on point from beginning to the end. They were on point and proactive on behalf of me and I felt very comfortable.
I always felt assured that they were in control of my situation as if I was family. From fast replies to any questions I had to sending holiday cards in the mail. They encouraged and guided me in this first time ordeal on my path to recovery. I would recommend them to anyone.
I have a great deal of gratitude and appreciation. I could go on for days with praise, but long story short they treated me like Ohana and I was beyond pleased with the settlement. Thank you guys! Aloha.

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.
