Client Testimonials

Allow Our Former Clients to Tell You What Sets Us Apart
    "Brant put my interest ahead of his"
    Brant put my interest ahead of his. I have been in business for over 50 years and it is rare for anyone to put their potential client's interest above themselves. That is exactly what Brant with Compassionate Counsel did by providing a free 20 minute consultation with me. Even though I qualified, he advised he against filing bankruptcy, and to take different path. Thank you Brant...
    - David B.
    "Great legal team who takes care of all your needs."
    Great legal team who takes care of all your needs and questions in a timely manner. Very efficient and clear in their directions and available whenever necessary.
    - Amanda L.
    "Brant provided more helpful information in an on-the-spot free consultation than I received in weeks"
    This place really lives out the name - Compassionate Counsel. Brant provided more helpful information in an on-the-spot free consultation than I received in weeks of going back and forth with another law firm. Talking to Compassionate Counsel felt less like talking to a law firm and more like talking to a genuine person who cares. Highly recommend!
    - Lina B.
    "I definitely recommend Compassionate Counsel"
    I've always thought that lawyers would be hard to work with, but Kris made it easy for me to understand every step of the process. He was available by e-mail or phone even when he was out on vacation. Being stressed out of not knowing what to do when you've gotten yourself in this situation of too much debt comes with the territory, but Kris understood me and my situation and assured me things will run smoothly. As long as you have all your paperwork, cross your Ts and dot your Is, then things will fall into place. I definitely recommend Compassionate Counsel and speak with Kristopher Childers or Brant Hodyno. They absolutely are compassionate. Their company name says it all!
    - R.M.
    "A genuinely good person is hard to find these days. So thank you Brant for your kindness."
    I spoke with Brant. We discussed my options and I was completely surprised. He gave me options that 8 other attorney's "forgot" to mention. My concerns were acknowledged and were quickly resolved by those options. I didn't feel pressured or nervous speaking to him. Brant is the most down to earth, great person I've spoken to in a long time. He's honest and straight forward. No surprise endings here. I now know what I can do to protect myself from creditors and I won't be hurt in the process. In situations like this you need someone who understands your position and not just in it for the money. A genuinely good person is hard to find these days. So thank you Brant for your kindness.
    - D. H.
    "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.
