"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.

"They made me feel confident in their work during the whole process"If this was a service you go to repeatedly I definitely would! I started with a different attorney who I had zero confidence in and thankfully got a referral for Compassionate Counsel because it was like night and day. They are thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. They did not seem annoyed when I asked questions and very attentive when I reached out. They made me feel confident in their work during the whole process. Highly recommend!!- K G.

"Encouraging, Helpful, Reassuring"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

"Honesty & integrity"My girlfriend found Mr. Hodyno on this same website in order to help me with a gargantuan debt that had accrued from a long-neglected court restitution. I was reluctant to call anybody at first, being that I tend to be pessimistic and skeptical that there is a solution to such situations. She convinced me to call various lawyers and Mr. Hodyno was the only one willing to really even hear out my situation past the point of me explaining my financial limitations and that I can't afford to pay a lawyer. Over the period of a little more than a week we spoke a few times and he explained to me that he could charge me a $200 fee to do the same thing I could just do myself for free by contacting the collections agency and asking a specific question and then getting back to him with their response. Once I did what he had walked me through to do he explained that based on the agency's response he could tell me that sadly there was no recourse for my situation which of course was disappointing, but he also explained that there are plenty of lawyers out there who would have charged me a 200 - plus-dollar fee knowing in advance that there was no easy answer to my situation and thus essentially would have ended up stealing from me and adding at least $200 to my already sizable debt. Thanks to Mr. Hodyno's honesty, integrity, humanity and willingness to talk me through a relatively simple few steps I can now rest in the knowing that the debt is just something I will have to be diligent about and chip away at over time - minus $200! I know it may sound disappointing in that I did not get the ideal outcome, but I genuinely appreciated Mr. Hodyno's guidance and willingness to take the time to be straight with me. Thanks, Brant!- Kevin
