What Our Clients Say
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.
- Timmy Schoenau This was the first time that I ever had to deal with an accident involving Insurance and Lawyers. Recovery Law Center made me comfortable and always made me feel that I was always the victim in dealing with the task ahead. They dealt with everyone in a timely and professional manner. Very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal representation.

- Vincent Yano 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 I was Glenn Honda's client twice. Both times, he was my personal injury attorney. The first time, I was walking out the door of this building and the hydraulic malfunctioned, shoving me out. Well, as the door shoved me forward, it caught one of my fingers and partially amputated it. (It's fine now thank God). The insurance company wouldn't even pay my emergency bills. Glenn even hired an engineer to show that the hydraulic was defective. He made the insurance company pay! The second time I was walking and there was dirt and leaves covering a more than one-inch rise in the sidewalk. The City scoffed at me and my claim. But again, Glenn Honda to the rescue — He took the case all the way to arbitration. I recommend him. He fights hard for his clients.
- Lynne S. 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. Excellent service provided by Mr. Honda and his paralegal team—Jolie, George & Jennifer!! I highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking help from a law firm.
