"Skill & integrity"After careful consideration and a couple of years of struggle, we made the decision to contact an attorney to weigh the pros/cons of filing for a Chapter 7. We were very hesitant about the idea of filing for bankruptcy and totally dreading the whole process. I chose to contact Brant based on various reviews and his informative website. His fees are reasonable & from the time I contacted his office to picking up my final paperwork, Brant was great. He made himself available to us by phone, email, and in person through the entire process and was always very quick to get back to me. He was professional but also appropriately frank and forthright. He prepared us for possible difficult turns but assured us he would do everything he could to get us through with a Chapter 7 - and he did. He prepared us for the 341 meeting, calming our nerves and concerns with helpful information and encouragement. If you are trying to decide what you need to do and don't know where to turn, call Brant Hodyno. He will answer your questions honestly and will handle your case with skill and integrity.- Carol & Doug

"Extremely well-versed in the laws and statutes in Arizona regarding bankruptcy."Brant at Compassionate Counsel had excellent advice on very short notice regarding a bankruptcy question I had ...which he answered with a personal phone call minutes after I posted the question. He was clearly extremely well-versed in the laws and statutes in Arizona regarding bankruptcy and I was immediately relieved of a massive amount of stress to have spoken with him. Highly recommended. Thanks, Brant!- Donell M.

"Great experience"I spoke in person with Brant Hodyno, he was personal, attentive non-judgemental, and above all very honest and yet kind, which was exactly what I need it
He told me that there was really not much he could do in my case due to my specific circumstances, but he gave me free advice about how to handle it, I follow it and the result was positive. Thank you very much you help me to save my house, God bless you Mr. Hodyno.- Marco -
"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.

"I Would Recommend"Just a quick review to indicate how satisfied I was with Brant Hodyno's services. He is very knowledgeable, professional, informative, and sympathetic with your current situation. He offered appointments that worked with my schedule. He kept me informed every step of the way. There were no surprises.
The hardest thing about this whole process was pronouncing his last name.
I would, and have, recommended Brant to others.- Betty
