Glenn Honda and the staff at Recovery Law helped me through one of the toughest times I experienced when my 15 year old was involved in a head on collision, and she was the passenger. I had so many question and concerns with her medical/therapy bills that seemed never ending. Recovery Law kept me informed throughout the process what to expect with the bills and got me through a tough time. My Attorney Glenn Honda fought hard for my daughter and kept her (and my) best interest always in the forefront. Recovery Law, and staff, went above and beyond to ensure the outcome was a positive one. Recovery Law and Glenn Honda made us feel like family and we trusted them wholeheartedly. As a mother, you always want the best for your children, and using Recovery Law during this troubling time was the best decision I made for my daughter and our family. I would recommend Recover Law, Glenn Honda to anyone who needs a strong advocate for either yourself, or your family member(s). Glenn Honda is truly a man who believes in justice.
