This is a statement from my client Naomi, published with her permission. "I was on my morning walk on King Street. A car making a right turn hit me while I was in the crosswalk. I broke my leg and my a ... rm which required surgery. I am elderly and was in the hospital for weeks. I was 77 years old at the time of the accident. I am now 83 years old (2013). Although I lived in Honolulu for over 50 years, I did not know any personal injury lawyers. My relatives who also live in Honolulu searched for a lawyer with a good reputation. My family found John and said that he was the best lawyer for me. I absolutely agree. John was able to get the responsible driver’s insurance company to pay the full policy limits of $100,000. John was also able to get my own insurance company to pay the full policy benefits on my underinsured motorist of $50,000. My case was finished in six months for $150,000. John is a hard working family man who treated me like I was his own kapuna. I met his lovely wife and kids for lunch after my case was pau. I would recommend John because he took the time to get to know me. John truly cares about my well being."
