"Erased all my fears"
I had called several Attorneys before I located Brant to help me though my bankruptcy. Of all the Attorneys I spoke with all wanted to charge more money and it seemed to be their primary concern, not me as a client.
This was not the case with Brant. His concern was helping his client. I was afraid of the process but Brant literally held my hand throughout the entire process erasing all my fears.
It did not have to be as difficult as I had feared as I found out after the process was over. I credit this to Brant's patience with my many calls to him and his kindness in taking the time to listen.
If you need to file bankruptcy just save yourself all the stress and most likely some money and put your case in the hands of a true professional.

"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.

"Brant was amazing"Brant helped me with all my credit issues. He explained all my options and was very patient with me. I would recommend Brant to anyone having credit issues.- Josh M.

"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 -

He elicits integrity and honesty. I can't thank him enough!
