About Trecker Fritz & Williams, Attorneys At Law

At Trecker Fritz & Williams, our lawyers have represented injured people and their families in Honolulu, throughout Hawaii, the United States and internationally for more than 40 years. Cumulatively, we have more than 150 years of combined experience. Until the mid-1990s the firm was known as McKenzie Trecker & Fritz. Several of our past partners have gone on to become judges.

Representing Injury Victims In Honolulu And Kauai

We represent victims and their families who have been damaged by all types of accidents and negligence, including:

  • Vehicular accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles and pedestrians
  • Aviation, including helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft accidents (Partner Allen Williams is an experienced pilot)
  • Slip and falls and other injuries and deaths on residential and commercial property
  • Medical and legal malpractice, including birth injuries and failures to diagnose. Medical negligence is the third leading cause of death in the US according to the Institute of Medicine. These cases are often very difficult and expensive to evaluate. Trecker Fritz & Williams often consults with a highly qualified, independent medical expert before becoming involved in a medical malpractice case.

Our attorneys have a commitment to service for every client we represent. Our firm has a track record of success, including a case against the state of Hawaii for almost $4 million on behalf of a young, catastrophically injured child who was under the state’s care. We recently were counsel in one of the largest medical malpractice verdicts in Hawaii State Court, which was roughly $5 million. This case was significant for its clarification and expansion of the duty of the physicians’ duty of informed consent to the patient. Our lawyers have successfully obtained recoveries for our severely injured or damaged clients in excess of $10,000,000.
