Client Testimonials

Allow Our Former Clients to Tell You What Sets Us Apart
    "What a rarity it is to find an attorney who "walks the walk." Compassionate Counsel is truly what this firm provides"
    I spoke with Brant a couple times on the phone regarding my son's financial hardships and both times I hung up feeling that I had received accurate, understanding, and caring advice. Both phone calls were received quickly after my reaching out to him too. What a rarity it is to find an attorney who "walks the walk." Compassionate Counsel is truly what this firm provides. I recommend them with 100% assurance that you will be blown away by the caring and knowledgeable service you will receive.
    - Lisa Dee S.
    "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.
    "Excellent Attorney"
    Brant is the nicest person and an excellent attorney! I would recommend him to any and everyone. He was on top of everything and he worked quickly to get everything resolved in a timely manner. He is a great communicator! Not expensive at all! Thank you, Brant for all you have done!
    - Elisa Roth
    "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.

    - Douglas
    "Prompt, thorough, honest"
    I hired Brant to help me fight a mistake on my credit report. Dealing with a creditor had been terrible to this point and I was at a dead end. Brant 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 Brant 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 O.
