"Great experience"Had a great experience working Brant, he responded very quickly to any emails I sent with questions and also knew how to answer all the questions I had regarding my ch.7 bk. He even made sure to be back in town for my hearing instead of sending a sub counsel in his place. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, friendly and informative attorney.- Violet V.

"Compassionate Counsel is an excellent name—it describes them to a "T""
When I met Kris Childers I was a complete financial and emotional disaster. I had just been served with four lawsuits in a matter of two weeks. I was working with another company trying to repay my debts. Kris was reviewing their cases and came upon mine and called me. I was not open to the idea of bankruptcy. We spoke at length, and he finally got through to me, convincing me this would be the only "sane" solution to the burden I was carrying.
His kind and gentle manner in handling my case made this so much easier. He went out of his way to pick up and drop off paperwork for me to review and sign. He answered all of my questions repeatedly. I just could not believe that heavy a financial burden could be eliminated. I can't thank Kris enough for talking sense into me. Compassionate Counsel is an excellent name for this company. It describes them to a "T", and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend their services to others who need financial help and counseling. Thank you, Kris and Brandt

"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.

"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!- Greg Keras
