Client Testimonials

Allow Our Former Clients to Tell You What Sets Us Apart
    "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

    "They are lawyers with integrity and a heart, that seek your best interest."
    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.

    "Prompt, thorough, honest"
    I hired Brant to help me fight a mistake on my credit report. Dealing with a creditor had been terrible to this point and I was at a dead end. Brant 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 Brant 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.

    "Great guy with a great service"
    Brant refused to take my money but offered priceless guidance. Great guy with a great service. Would recommend to any others going through a hardship.
    - T.J. C.
    "Creditor settlement negotiation"
    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.

    "You Won’t Find a Better Person"
    I like the way Brant went about his business in handling my case.
    I felt that if I need Brant for another case. He would great get it done for me or anyone out there needing help. So I thank Brant for all he has done from Start to Finish. You won't find a better
    person to deal with.
    Thanks
