"Saved my home"
I had unfortunately hired another attorney that had made mistake after mistake and after 2 years in bankruptcy, I was about to lose my home. Called a website on a Friday night and left a recorded message. Brant called first thing the next day (Saturday) and was kind enough to look up my case and put my mind at ease w my home. Met him Monday and he immediately worked w the mortgage company, to clear up the stupid mistakes the other attorney had made! I was able to save my home and hired Brant to complete my bankruptcy bc I had been in bankruptcy for over 2 years!!
Brant was compassionate and listened to all my concerns, he returned all my phone calls and put my mind at ease. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that needs a great atty.

"One of the nicest people I've ever met"Brant is one of the nicest and most helpful people I've ever met. I was homeless, living at a veterans shelter when we met at a veterans' "Stand Down" in Glendale, AZ. The reason for my struggles were a judgement that me and my wife couldn't afford to pay off and due to it we lost our driver's license and eventually my job as a heavy transport driver. Brant offer me and my family his services at no-cost (pro bono). At the time we were going to file for bankruptcy but after getting re-employed we decided to try and pay the judgement off. Thanks to Brant's status as an attorney and good negotiating skills we settle for less that we owed. Me and my family couldn't thank you enough, Brant. Thank You!!- Juan Guerra

"The definition of compassionate counsel"He spent 45 mins on the phone with me and helped me talk through my situation, even though he ended up pointing me in the direction of another attorney. That is truly the definition of “compassionate counsel.”- Fabio Encomendaro

"Brant put my interest ahead of his"Brant put my interest ahead of his. I have been in business for over 50 years and it is rare for anyone to put their potential client's interest above themselves. That is exactly what Brant with Compassionate Counsel did by providing a free 20 minute consultation with me. Even though I qualified, he advised he against filing bankruptcy, and to take different path. Thank you Brant...- David B.
