"Outstanding advice"Brant was referred to me by another attorney, who helped me with some creditor issues. Brant was a gentleman throughout the phone call; never asking me to hire him for his services, he offered priceless advice in regards to numerous situations. I would highly recommend him for his demeanor and common courtesy towards a potential client, down the road; I know that I will utilize his legal services.- IRA

"What I value most about my interaction is Brants expertise and integrity"I spoke with Brant ( one of the senior attorneys) regarding my wage garnishment situation and got a lot of help and information with my court case. From filling out contact form online to having a consultation was a fast and flawless process. What I value most about my interaction is Brants expertise and integrity while at the same time a down to earth interaction. Thank you 🙏- Val P.

"I definitely recommend Compassionate Counsel"I've always thought that lawyers would be hard to work with, but Kris made it easy for me to understand every step of the process. He was available by e-mail or phone even when he was out on vacation. Being stressed out of not knowing what to do when you've gotten yourself in this situation of too much debt comes with the territory, but Kris understood me and my situation and assured me things will run smoothly. As long as you have all your paperwork, cross your Ts and dot your Is, then things will fall into place. I definitely recommend Compassionate Counsel and speak with Kristopher Childers or Brant Hodyno. They absolutely are compassionate. Their company name says it all!- R.M.
