"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 -
"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.

"Truly a compassionate lawyer"I found Brant through his great reviews and to be honest because his office was a mile away from me. But I'm definitely glad I did. He has been more than helpful for not only myself but my parents getting us through bankruptcy and credit card settlement issues. I'm thankful to have hired him and thankful for his patience when it comes to payments. He allowed my family and me to start a new and hopefully correct the errors of the past and come out stronger than ever.- Youri

"One of the nicest people I've ever met"Brant is one of the nicest and most helpful people I've ever met. I was homeless, living at a veterans shelter when we met at a veterans' "Stand Down" in Glendale, AZ. The reason for my struggles were a judgement that me and my wife couldn't afford to pay off and due to it we lost our driver's license and eventually my job as a heavy transport driver. Brant offer me and my family his services at no-cost (pro bono). At the time we were going to file for bankruptcy but after getting re-employed we decided to try and pay the judgement off. Thanks to Brant's status as an attorney and good negotiating skills we settle for less that we owed. Me and my family couldn't thank you enough, Brant. Thank You!!- Juan Guerra

"So impressed"Amazing service! I worked with Kristopher Childers exclusively and was always so impressed when I would call that Kris would always answer and take my call. Or would call me back within minutes. This aspect alone, is why I 100% recommend this firm.- Jeff Handley
