WAIMALU, HI – A driver has been arrested in connection with a pedestrian collision that occurred in Waimalu on Thursday night, Hawaii News Now reports.

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.

Mr. Honda's good reputation precedes him. From the moment I contacted his practice I knew I was in good hands. George and Jolie were friendly, easy to talk to, and genuine. They made me feel comfortable, heard, and supported. The Recovery Law Center team helped me every step of the way. They listened to me, answered my questions, and dealt with the disparaging treatment so I didn't have to. Mr. Honda kept me informed about my options, shared his recommendations then let me decide how to proceed. Knowing they had my back and were fighting for me, gave me the chance to focus on my personal recovery. I don't know what I would have done without their help and support. Thank you Glenn Honda and The Recovery Law Center team!!!! I highly recommend them and would definitely seek out their help again if ever I needed it.

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.
