"Truly Cares"Brant Hodyno truly cares! You would be wise to have this man on your side. I could say so much, but how about some facts: 1. The first time I ever spoke to Brant on the phone; the length of the the call and the number of questions I had, were what other attorney's would consider a consultation and probably either charge you for or simply have you make an appointment for. Brant allowed me to exhaust all my questions and answered in kind. 2. Brant allowed me to make payments to him and in the meantime he kept the creditors / collectors at bay even though I had not signed a contract yet. 3. After many months (he never once pushed or badgered for me to file) I decided to not file after all and desperately needed money for a family emergency, Brant returned a large sum of money to me and said he wants to help in any way he can! He did! He cared about me even when he had nothing financial to gain! I don't know what more i can say other than, Brant, thank you, once again!- Mike Elrod

"Saved my home"
I had unfortunately hired another attorney that had made mistake after mistake and after 2 years in bankruptcy, I was about to lose my home. Called a website on a Friday night and left a recorded message. Brant called first thing the next day (Saturday) and was kind enough to look up my case and put my mind at ease w my home. Met him Monday and he immediately worked w the mortgage company, to clear up the stupid mistakes the other attorney had made! I was able to save my home and hired Brant to complete my bankruptcy bc I had been in bankruptcy for over 2 years!!
Brant was compassionate and listened to all my concerns, he returned all my phone calls and put my mind at ease. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that needs a great atty.

"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 -
