"A genuinely good person is hard to find these days. So thank you Brant for your kindness."I spoke with Brant. We discussed my options and I was completely surprised. He gave me options that 8 other attorney's "forgot" to mention. My concerns were acknowledged and were quickly resolved by those options. I didn't feel pressured or nervous speaking to him. Brant is the most down to earth, great person I've spoken to in a long time. He's honest and straight forward. No surprise endings here. I now know what I can do to protect myself from creditors and I won't be hurt in the process. In situations like this you need someone who understands your position and not just in it for the money. A genuinely good person is hard to find these days. So thank you Brant for your kindness.- D. H.

"Upfront & Honest"I recently filed bankruptcy and hired Brant Hodyno to represent me in my case. He was extremely knowledgeable about the process and walked me through what would have been a very intimidating process without his representation. Brant was upfront and honest the entire way through the process and was prompt in responding to my inquiries or requests. I would absolutely recommend Brant to anyone looking to file Bankruptcy.- Liz

"The name of this business could not be more accurate."The name of this business could not be more accurate. Great company, took time to answer questions, and very knowledgeable on the subject matter I needed answers to. Would recommend this group to anyone!- Steve S.

"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 -
"Extremely knowledgeable & dedicated"We reached out to this attorney for a very complex bankruptcy situation. Mr. Hodyno's comprehensive and pin point advice was many levels above what any other attorney was able to offer us. Mr. Hodyno appeared extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to the task at hand. His attention to detail was impeccable. We would use Mr. Hodyno again and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great attorney.- Robert

"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.
