"Very supportive & professional"
We were in uncharted territory and needed an attorney to navigate a time sensitive issue. We tried to contact several law offices, the most personable and professional was Brant Hodyno. He gave us candid, practical advice on how to proceed.
We highly recommend Brant Hodyno for his supportive counsel and the quick and positive resolution of our issues.

"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

"You Won’t Find a Better Person"I like the way Brant went about his business in handling my case.
I felt that if I need Brant for another case. He would great get it done for me or anyone out there needing help. So I thank Brant for all he has done from Start to Finish. You won't find a better
person to deal with.
Thanks- Charles -

"I really appreciate honesty and integrity and Brant at Compassion Counsel had that!"Called about 6 attorneys today for quotes and this was the first guy to be super real that’s an attorney. Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like that’s rare. He even pointed out that what I was trying to do didn’t make sense, even if it meant I didn’t use his services. I really appreciate honesty and integrity and Brant at Compassion Counsel had that!- Samuel C.

"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.
