"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.

"Very supportive & professional"
We were in uncharted territory and needed an attorney to navigate a time sensitive issue. We tried to contact several law offices, the most personable and professional was Brant Hodyno. He gave us candid, practical advice on how to proceed.
We highly recommend Brant Hodyno for his supportive counsel and the quick and positive resolution of our issues.

"Very Thorough"Brant never left us uninformed. We never hesitated to ask question and he was very thorough in answering which made us comfortable. He was very reassuring during the whole process, which was over in no time. I recommend him to anyone wanting things done right the first time.- Lisa

"He's a really cool human being and I'm glad that there are lawyers out there like him!"Looking into this kind of thing is really stressful and confusing but Brant totally took that all away. He took time out of his day to answer my questions, give me some tools and was super transparent about the process. He's a really cool human being and I'm glad that there are lawyers out there like him! Thanks again!- Anatta V.

"Great experience"Had a great experience working Brant, he responded very quickly to any emails I sent with questions and also knew how to answer all the questions I had regarding my ch.7 bk. He even made sure to be back in town for my hearing instead of sending a sub counsel in his place. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, friendly and informative attorney.- Violet V.
