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.

My lawyer was extremely good, he answered all my questions, always called me back. He always made me feel at ease. I would definitely recommend him.- Patricia
-
Brant helped both my husband and me, each with separate issues. Brant was there for us and took care of business. The advice he gave Mark was followed and worked out very well. As for me, the enduring situation was dealt with in a manner where I could not ask for more. He was incredibly effective.- Mark Ott
-
I just got off the phone with Brant and I feel like the world was lifted off my shoulders. I called and asked about his services and explained my situation. He not only helped with my financial questions but took the time to look up other services that would benefit me, and text and emailed me the information. If you need a professional, caring attorney don't look any further. Do yourself a favor and call Compassionate Counsel. Thanks again, Brant!!- Jaci M.

I found Brant through his great reviews and to be honest because his office was a mile away from me. But I'm definitely glad I did. He has been more than helpful for not only myself but my parents getting us through bankruptcy and credit card settlement issues. I'm thankful to have hired him and thankful for his patience when it comes to payments. He allowed my family and me to start a new and hopefully correct the errors of the past and come out stronger than ever.- Youri

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

Kristopher Childers and Brant Hodyno were very helpful on got on what I was looking for.
I came with an issue related to a civil case, went to multiple people and they all talked which wasn't related directly to my situation and made me more nervou- GG
