Dan was extremely helpful when my children and I were hit by a drunk driver. Being a military family, we had minimal knowledge of Hawaii state laws or insurance policies. Dan was able to explain everything in detail and guide me through the entire process, even after our family was required to move off island due to new military orders. He kept me up to date on the entire process and worked hard to get us the compensation we deserved. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone needing help in an auto accident case!
