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.

Working with Brant feels like working with a good friend. He's open, caring and does due diligence to be sure he understands and can easily explain the complicated aspects of just about anything law related. He's a friendly, no-nonsense-type lawyer...definitely the type you want on your side.

I reached out to Bryan and Kristopher at Compassionate Counsel in an expertise they do not practice on. Instead of ignoring me, they replied in minutes offering help finding someone who could help me without causing me financial hardship. As I am writing this, they are reaching out to their network with the goal of finding someone like them to help a veteran who requires assistance seeking justice.- Matthew R.

We were at wits end trying to deal with debts with insufficient income. We contacted Brant's office and were immediately given an appointment. As soon as we met with him we felt we had made the right decision. Brant was encouraging, helpful, reassuring, professional and knowledgeable from the very beginning. We knew absolutely nothing about filing and he directed us every step of the way. His rates are reasonable and his office staff is helpful. He was always available to answer questions and give help. We both feel we just can't say enough positive things about Brant.- Maggie

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!- Greg Keras

I was able to resolve my problem the same day by consulting and taking this firm's advice, unlike other places they took the time to discuss options rather than push you to make a decision right then and there! Brant was really professional and guided me through my problem like a good friend would therefore I highly recommend this place !!- Edgar S.

Brant and Kristopher are MASTERS at what they do. They helped me through a very challenging chapter 7 bankruptcy which was ultimately discharged. They were extremely professional, compassionate, and thorough in all of their work. I would highly recommend working with them!- Jeremiah D.
