"Class Act"Brant was hired on by me as my bankruptcy lawyer. In the middle of my case, the company he was working with started to do unethical practices that Brant was not ok with. Brant ended up starting up his own firm, but I was stuck with the company he was working with before. When it came time for us to go to court, the firm was not prepared whatsoever for our case and they were lacking tons of info for my case. I was told by them not to contact Brant as he had no control of what was going on with my current case. After we went to court and they weren't prepared, I proceeded to fire them and let them just keep my money. I then reached back out to Brant he he picked up where the case was and shuffled appointments around on his schedule to accommodate our new court date. Brant showed up and was prepared to help us with our case. The case is now closed and it is due to all of the hard work that Brant did for us after the last firm messed everything up. I would recommend Brant for any services that he provides as he is all about his customer service and making sure that his clients are informed and educated through the whole process. He is a class act and takes every case that he works personally as if it were him. If you are ever in need of a great lawyer, just reach out to Brant and he will ensure that you are well taken care of! It was easy for me to give him a 5 star review as his service and communication are 2nd to none. You should have nothing but confidence when you hire Brant Hodyno!- Justin

"Very understanding"I would recommend Brant Hodyno to anyone. He made the process of filing my bankruptcy easy and quick. He was very understanding and helped me every step of the process.- Tina Gault

"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.

"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

"Thank You Brant"There are many bankruptcy Attorneys in Arizona but few will take the time to make sure the client comes first. Brant is the exception. After much research and conversations with other Attorneys, no one came close to the care and concern showed to me as Mr. Hodyno did. I could not have asked for a better person to handle my case. He personally answers his phone and will answer your questions making sure you, the client feels at ease and in trusted hands. A true professional in every sense of the word. Thank you Brant for all your time and tireless work on my case.- June H

"Couldn’t Ask for Better"Brant was so helpful throughout the bankruptcy process. He got back to me quickly when I had questions and made sure I knew everything to do. He was always very understanding and kind. Would definitely recommend him!- Mallory
