"Clear & Concise"I met with Mr. Brant Edward Hodyno to discuss a very timely legal situation that other lawyers were unable to handle for me. Mr. Hodyno listened carefully and reviewed my options, clearly and concisely. He took the time to make a direct, related call while I was there and assured me that I could relax and that he would have the situation handled in the morning. The next morning he called and told me that the situation was handled and over.
I have been dealing with this situation for a long time and Mr. Brant Hodyno was able to understand my personal anxiety and end the stress in 24 hours! He was professional, articulate, and a pleasure to call my lawyer.- Michelle -
"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.

"What I value most about my interaction is Brants expertise and integrity"I spoke with Brant ( one of the senior attorneys) regarding my wage garnishment situation and got a lot of help and information with my court case. From filling out contact form online to having a consultation was a fast and flawless process. What I value most about my interaction is Brants expertise and integrity while at the same time a down to earth interaction. Thank you 🙏- Val P.

"Very helpful & professional people"
Kristopher Childers and Brant Hodyno were very helpful on got on what I was looking for.
I came with an issue related to a civil case, went to multiple people and they all talked which wasn't related directly to my situation and made me more nervou- GG -
"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.
