James H. Monma

James H. Monma is an attorney with Recovery Law Center who has practiced law since 1993 and has spent his legal career handling personal injury cases. His work has included proceedings ranging from administrative hearings to appellate advocacy before the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii. He is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, giving his practice experience across several levels of dispute resolution.

Monma attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa and later attended California Western School of Law. The available current sources do not identify the specific degree he received. His legal training, combined with decades of personal injury practice, supports careful review of factual records, procedural requirements, and legal issues that can affect an injury claim from its early stages through litigation or appeal.

His experience includes representing clients in personal injury matters through administrative, trial, and appellate proceedings. Work at those different stages requires developing the record, reviewing evidence, addressing procedural questions, preparing legal arguments, and explaining how a case may change as it moves through the legal system. Monma uses that experience to help clients understand the process, evaluate their options, and make informed decisions as a claim progresses.

James H. Monma brings more than three decades of Hawaii personal injury litigation experience to his work with injured clients. His background across administrative hearings, state-court proceedings, and appellate advocacy provides a broad view of how injury disputes develop and how legal strategy can shift over time. He focuses on the facts, applicable law, and procedural issues that matter to each case while providing practical guidance through the litigation process.
