Allow Our Former Clients to Tell You What Sets Us Apart
    "Kris explained everything to me and it went smoothly."
    Kris did a great job. It's the first time going through bankruptcy and I was a little nervous about it. Kris explained everything to me and it went smoothly. Thank you so much for everything.

    "Quickly answered my questions"
    Brant was there to help me every step of the way through my Bankruptcy. He quickly answered my questions no matter the time of the day and reassured me when I had doubts or concerns. He really did make the whole process easy to follow and understand.
    - Amy R.
    "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.
    "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

    "They made me feel confident in their work during the whole process"
    If this was a service you go to repeatedly I definitely would! I started with a different attorney who I had zero confidence in and thankfully got a referral for Compassionate Counsel because it was like night and day. They are thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. They did not seem annoyed when I asked questions and very attentive when I reached out. They made me feel confident in their work during the whole process. Highly recommend!!
    - K G.
    "Very Thorough"
    Brant never left us uninformed. We never hesitated to ask question and he was very thorough in answering which made us comfortable. He was very reassuring during the whole process, which was over in no time. I recommend him to anyone wanting things done right the first time.
    - Lisa
