    "As I am writing this, they are reaching out to their network with the goal of finding someone like them to help a veteran who requires assistance seeking justice."
    I reached out to Bryan and Kristopher at Compassionate Counsel in an expertise they do not practice on. Instead of ignoring me, they replied in minutes offering help finding someone who could help me without causing me financial hardship. As I am writing this, they are reaching out to their network with the goal of finding someone like them to help a veteran who requires assistance seeking justice.

    "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.

    "Truly a compassionate lawyer"
    I found Brant through his great reviews and to be honest because his office was a mile away from me. But I'm definitely glad I did. He has been more than helpful for not only myself but my parents getting us through bankruptcy and credit card settlement issues. I'm thankful to have hired him and thankful for his patience when it comes to payments. He allowed my family and me to start a new and hopefully correct the errors of the past and come out stronger than ever.

    "Thank you very much"
    I contacted Mr. Hodyno via a personal recommendation; he aided me in finding help to solve a financial issue. He found me an attorney that was not only very close to my place of residence and business, but, in a profession that isn't necessarily known for its amenability and personal, human connection, Mr. Hodyno and the lawyer to whom he referred me were both very good people as well as consummate professionals. Thank you very much for your help!

    "One of the nicest people I've ever met"
    Brant is one of the nicest and most helpful people I've ever met. I was homeless, living at a veterans shelter when we met at a veterans' "Stand Down" in Glendale, AZ. The reason for my struggles were a judgement that me and my wife couldn't afford to pay off and due to it we lost our driver's license and eventually my job as a heavy transport driver. Brant offer me and my family his services at no-cost (pro bono). At the time we were going to file for bankruptcy but after getting re-employed we decided to try and pay the judgement off. Thanks to Brant's status as an attorney and good negotiating skills we settle for less that we owed. Me and my family couldn't thank you enough, Brant. Thank You!!

    "Knowledgeable & helpful"
    Brant was great. Very knowledgeable and very helpful. He was able to help me and explain everything to me in a language I could understand. I would definitely recommend Brant to anyone needing help with Credit repair. He was very patient and understanding of my situation.
