Meet the Team
What Our Clients Say
Very helpful and supportive team. The entire team at the Recovery Law Center helped me the whole way. Treated me very kindly and always gave me the best support. They lifted me out of difficult matters in a breeze. Super happy to have chosen them in my legal matters. Highly recommended!
- Daniel Khamjani 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.
- Brian LOVED working with these guys!! They made me feel like family from the minute I walked in the door. When things go wrong, these are the guys you want in your corner. In a world where it's hard to know who to trust, I am so glad I know Recovery Law Center. Thanks guys!!
- Gigi Lee 12/10/2019 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 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.
- RyLee Kawasugi 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 Glenn was able to garner a far larger settlement to compensate me for what I went through and the scar I will bear for life. His staff was always helpful and available and made the process extremely easy. I hope to never be injured again but I would not hesitate to count on Recovery Law Center or recommend them to anyone who has been injured or pushed around by insurance companies.
