Our Powerful Debt Relief Services

No matter how hopeless your circumstances may feel, you have options. Filing for bankruptcy may be the right choice for you if you are ready to start fresh. Whether you can commit to a repayment plan or are prepared to liquidate non-exempt assets, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help you put your financial problems behind you. 

When you file for either type of consumer bankruptcy, you will be protected by the automatic stay. This court order prevents creditors from taking action against you, meaning bankruptcy can be used to stop foreclosures, repossessions, creditor lawsuits, and wage garnishments. In many cases, the automatic stay remains in effect for the duration of your bankruptcy case.

If bankruptcy is not the right choice for your specific situation, we encourage you to consider debt negotiation and settlement, instead.

Client Testimonials

Allow Our Former Clients to Tell You What Sets Us Apart
    "Someone you can trust"

    Brant Hodyno is definitely someone you can trust and he truly cares. When I contacted him about the possibility of filing Chapter 7, he provided a solicitous phone consultation that was very thorough. Even though we determined that I can't file right away due to a Life Estate issue on my family property, I know if my situation changes I will be contacting him immediately. I recommend him 100% for any Bankruptcy filing.

    "Extremely well-versed in the laws and statutes in Arizona regarding bankruptcy."
    Brant at Compassionate Counsel had excellent advice on very short notice regarding a bankruptcy question I had ...which he answered with a personal phone call minutes after I posted the question. He was clearly extremely well-versed in the laws and statutes in Arizona regarding bankruptcy and I was immediately relieved of a massive amount of stress to have spoken with him. Highly recommended. Thanks, Brant!
    - Donell M.
    "Brant put my interest ahead of his"
    Brant put my interest ahead of his. I have been in business for over 50 years and it is rare for anyone to put their potential client's interest above themselves. That is exactly what Brant with Compassionate Counsel did by providing a free 20 minute consultation with me. Even though I qualified, he advised he against filing bankruptcy, and to take different path. Thank you Brant...
    - David B.
    "Thank you very much"
    I contacted Mr. Hodyno via a personal recommendation; he aided me in finding help to solve a financial issue. He found me an attorney that was not only very close to my place of residence and business, but, in a profession that isn't necessarily known for its amenability and personal, human connection, Mr. Hodyno and the lawyer to whom he referred me were both very good people as well as consummate professionals. Thank you very much for your help!

    "Compassionate Counsel is an excellent name—it describes them to a "T""

    When I met Kris Childers I was a complete financial and emotional disaster. I had just been served with four lawsuits in a matter of two weeks. I was working with another company trying to repay my debts. Kris was reviewing their cases and came upon mine and called me. I was not open to the idea of bankruptcy. We spoke at length, and he finally got through to me, convincing me this would be the only "sane" solution to the burden I was carrying.

    His kind and gentle manner in handling my case made this so much easier. He went out of his way to pick up and drop off paperwork for me to review and sign. He answered all of my questions repeatedly. I just could not believe that heavy a financial burden could be eliminated. I can't thank Kris enough for talking sense into me. Compassionate Counsel is an excellent name for this company. It describes them to a "T", and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend their services to others who need financial help and counseling. Thank you, Kris and Brandt

    - Sandy J.
    "Great experience"
    I spoke in person with Brant Hodyno, he was personal, attentive non-judgemental, and above all very honest and yet kind, which was exactly what I need it
    He told me that there was really not much he could do in my case due to my specific circumstances, but he gave me free advice about how to handle it, I follow it and the result was positive. Thank you very much you help me to save my house, God bless you Mr. Hodyno.
