Seeking Solutions You Need to Secure a Brighter Future
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.
Our Scottsdale bankruptcy lawyers and debt settlement attorneys can assist you with:
- Debt Resolution Program. You are making payments on time but are still struggling to stay afloat. We are here to advise you on a solution that's in your best interest, not our pocketbooks, with continuing credit education, advice and support, even after we have resolved your credit issues.
- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy can help you quickly secure a clean slate. Through the liquidation of your non-exempt assets, you can begin to build a stable future and obtain the peace of mind you deserve.
- General Legal Services. We will in some limited cases assist clients with matters of estate planning, asset protection, divorce, personal injury claims, and small business reorganization.

I had a truly remarkable experience with Compassionate Counsel. I know that it is so important to find lawyers with integrity and a heart, that seek your best interest without the dollar in mind. This was truly a kind experience for me.- Gena W.

Brant was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! I reached out to Brant's office after being sued for an extremely old credit card debt. The debt was not a large amount and although I requested and was willing to pay for a consultation and assistance, Brant acknowledged this was a matter that could easily be handled without a lawyer by myself. He then took the time to provide advice, answer all of my questions, and provide suggestions to help solve my problem. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and likable. Without a doubt, I would reach out to Brant again and will do so for any future matters and I would highly recommend his services to anyone!- Anonymous

I hired Hodyno to help me fight a mistake on my credit report. Dealing with the creditor had been terrible to this point, and I was at a dead end. Hodyno was empathetic during our phone call but made it a point to manage my expectations. In the end, we weren't able to get the creditor to change the language, but Hodyno was able to get me a full record of my payments from the creditor to support my dispute (which were not being released to me, neither before nor since!) He was prompt, thorough, and honest.
Sometimes you just need an attorney to turn to for solid advice, someone to actually help you. I recommend Brant Hodyno.- Paul -
I came to Brant with 2 debts to be settled. One was in lawsuit and I had tried to settle on my own for less than they wanted without any success. Brant settled both within 2 days, for much less than the original amount. He fees are reasonable, and he knows his way around creditors, lawsuits, and collection agencies. I would highly recommend him for creditor settlement negotiations.- Anonymous

Had a great experience working Brant, he responded very quickly to any emails I sent with questions and also knew how to answer all the questions I had regarding my ch.7 bk. He even made sure to be back in town for my hearing instead of sending a sub counsel in his place. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, friendly and informative attorney.- Violet V.

There are many bankruptcy Attorneys in Arizona but few will take the time to make sure the client comes first. Brant is the exception. After much research and conversations with other Attorneys, no one came close to the care and concern showed to me as Mr. Hodyno did. I could not have asked for a better person to handle my case. He personally answers his phone and will answer your questions making sure you, the client feels at ease and in trusted hands. A true professional in every sense of the word. Thank you Brant for all your time and tireless work on my case.- June H
