"Truly Cares"Brant Hodyno truly cares! You would be wise to have this man on your side. I could say so much, but how about some facts: 1. The first time I ever spoke to Brant on the phone; the length of the the call and the number of questions I had, were what other attorney's would consider a consultation and probably either charge you for or simply have you make an appointment for. Brant allowed me to exhaust all my questions and answered in kind. 2. Brant allowed me to make payments to him and in the meantime he kept the creditors / collectors at bay even though I had not signed a contract yet. 3. After many months (he never once pushed or badgered for me to file) I decided to not file after all and desperately needed money for a family emergency, Brant returned a large sum of money to me and said he wants to help in any way he can! He did! He cared about me even when he had nothing financial to gain! I don't know what more i can say other than, Brant, thank you, once again!- Mike Elrod

"Skill & integrity"After careful consideration and a couple of years of struggle, we made the decision to contact an attorney to weigh the pros/cons of filing for a Chapter 7. We were very hesitant about the idea of filing for bankruptcy and totally dreading the whole process. I chose to contact Brant based on various reviews and his informative website. His fees are reasonable & from the time I contacted his office to picking up my final paperwork, Brant was great. He made himself available to us by phone, email, and in person through the entire process and was always very quick to get back to me. He was professional but also appropriately frank and forthright. He prepared us for possible difficult turns but assured us he would do everything he could to get us through with a Chapter 7 - and he did. He prepared us for the 341 meeting, calming our nerves and concerns with helpful information and encouragement. If you are trying to decide what you need to do and don't know where to turn, call Brant Hodyno. He will answer your questions honestly and will handle your case with skill and integrity.- Carol & Doug

"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 put my interest ahead of his"Brant put my interest ahead of his. I have been in business for over 50 years and it is rare for anyone to put their potential client's interest above themselves. That is exactly what Brant with Compassionate Counsel did by providing a free 20 minute consultation with me. Even though I qualified, he advised he against filing bankruptcy, and to take different path. Thank you Brant...- David B.
