"So much more than we expected"Brant Hodyno was so much more than we expected from bankruptcy counsel. Brant gave us hope, he helped us, stood by us and fought for us. There is nothing more anyone could ask of him. We count ourselves blessed to have been directed to Brant. Compassionate Counsel is truly an appropriate name for his business. If you need help, please don't hesitate to call Brant.- Margaret B.

"Very Satisfied"
I had 2 credit card debts that had been weighing on my mind for nearly 10 years.
I received a Summons for the first Debt several months ago. I did not have an attorney at that time, so I knew I needed to find one soon. I asked friends and family how to do this. I finally found Brant's Office through the internet. I set up an appointment, when I was told who I would be meeting with I checked his qualifications with Avvo and the State.
We met in his office. We contacted the first attorney and arrived at a settlement, by phone during that meeting.
The second summons arrived a couple of weeks ago. I mailed Brant a copy. We talked this week. He negotiated a settlement with the other party.
I am very satisfied with Brant's handling of these situations.
I am happy and would recommend Brant to my friends and family.

"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

"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.
