"Encouraging, Helpful, Reassuring"We were at wits end trying to deal with debts with insufficient income. We contacted Brant's office and were immediately given an appointment. As soon as we met with him we felt we had made the right decision. Brant was encouraging, helpful, reassuring, professional and knowledgeable from the very beginning. We knew absolutely nothing about filing and he directed us every step of the way. His rates are reasonable and his office staff is helpful. He was always available to answer questions and give help. We both feel we just can't say enough positive things about Brant.- Maggie

"They made me feel confident in their work during the whole process"If this was a service you go to repeatedly I definitely would! I started with a different attorney who I had zero confidence in and thankfully got a referral for Compassionate Counsel because it was like night and day. They are thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. They did not seem annoyed when I asked questions and very attentive when I reached out. They made me feel confident in their work during the whole process. Highly recommend!!- K G.

"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.

"Do yourself a favor and call Compassionate Counsel."I just got off the phone with Brant and I feel like the world was lifted off my shoulders. I called and asked about his services and explained my situation. He not only helped with my financial questions but took the time to look up other services that would benefit me, and text and emailed me the information. If you need a professional, caring attorney don't look any further. Do yourself a favor and call Compassionate Counsel. Thanks again, Brant!!- Jaci M.

"Incredibly Helpful"Brant was incredibly helpful at helping resolve a credit dispute and avoid a judgment from being filed against me. He was very upfront about the pros and cons of settling versus litigation, was responsive to emails, and resolved the issue within a week. After calling a big law firm initially, and speaking with the same receptionist who forgot my information 10 minutes later, it was refreshing to call the number listed and speak to Brant directly. I would highly recommend this attorney.- Casey H.
