"What a rarity it is to find an attorney who "walks the walk." Compassionate Counsel is truly what this firm provides"I spoke with Brant a couple times on the phone regarding my son's financial hardships and both times I hung up feeling that I had received accurate, understanding, and caring advice. Both phone calls were received quickly after my reaching out to him too. What a rarity it is to find an attorney who "walks the walk." Compassionate Counsel is truly what this firm provides. I recommend them with 100% assurance that you will be blown away by the caring and knowledgeable service you will receive.- Lisa Dee S.

"Solid Advice When I Needed It"I hired Hodyno to help me fight a mistake on my credit report. Dealing with the creditor had been terrible to this point, and I was at a dead end. Hodyno 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 Hodyno 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.- Paul -
"Thank you very much"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 really appreciate honesty and integrity and Brant at Compassion Counsel had that!"Called about 6 attorneys today for quotes and this was the first guy to be super real that’s an attorney. Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like that’s rare. He even pointed out that what I was trying to do didn’t make sense, even if it meant I didn’t use his services. I really appreciate honesty and integrity and Brant at Compassion Counsel had that!- Samuel C.
