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.

"So much more than we expected"Brant Hodyno was so much more than we expected from bankruptcy counsel. Brant gave us hope, he helped us, stood by us and fought for us. There is nothing more anyone could ask of him. We count ourselves blessed to have been directed to Brant. Compassionate Counsel is truly an appropriate name for his business. If you need help, please don't hesitate to call Brant.- Margaret B.

"Very professional"I consulted Mr. Hodyno and he was very professional and gave me suggestions and ideas that I will follow through on without actually having to go through bankruptcy which I really wasn't keen on.- Inge Kerster
-
"Debt lawsuit assistance"Brant was incredibly helpful to me from the start in dealing with a lawsuit from my bank regarding an old credit card debt. He was clear about what he could (and couldn't) do for me, and was up front about his costs. He didn't promise anything that he couldn't deliver, and in fact reached a very reasonable settlement with my bank's lawyers. This debt that has weighed on my mind for nearly a decade has been resolved to everyone's satisfaction and, as a result, has lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. Although I hope never to be in this situation again, I would immediately call Brant if I was in need of such services again. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to any family or friends who find themselves in need of a debt or bankruptcy attorney.- Abby

"I Would Recommend"Just a quick review to indicate how satisfied I was with Brant Hodyno's services. He is very knowledgeable, professional, informative, and sympathetic with your current situation. He offered appointments that worked with my schedule. He kept me informed every step of the way. There were no surprises.
The hardest thing about this whole process was pronouncing his last name.
I would, and have, recommended Brant to others.- Betty -
"Great experience"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.

"Honesty & integrity"My girlfriend found Mr. Hodyno on this same website in order to help me with a gargantuan debt that had accrued from a long-neglected court restitution. I was reluctant to call anybody at first, being that I tend to be pessimistic and skeptical that there is a solution to such situations. She convinced me to call various lawyers and Mr. Hodyno was the only one willing to really even hear out my situation past the point of me explaining my financial limitations and that I can't afford to pay a lawyer. Over the period of a little more than a week we spoke a few times and he explained to me that he could charge me a $200 fee to do the same thing I could just do myself for free by contacting the collections agency and asking a specific question and then getting back to him with their response. Once I did what he had walked me through to do he explained that based on the agency's response he could tell me that sadly there was no recourse for my situation which of course was disappointing, but he also explained that there are plenty of lawyers out there who would have charged me a 200 - plus-dollar fee knowing in advance that there was no easy answer to my situation and thus essentially would have ended up stealing from me and adding at least $200 to my already sizable debt. Thanks to Mr. Hodyno's honesty, integrity, humanity and willingness to talk me through a relatively simple few steps I can now rest in the knowing that the debt is just something I will have to be diligent about and chip away at over time - minus $200! I know it may sound disappointing in that I did not get the ideal outcome, but I genuinely appreciated Mr. Hodyno's guidance and willingness to take the time to be straight with me. Thanks, Brant!- Kevin
