"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

"Honesty & integrity"My girlfriend found Mr. Hodyno on this same website in order to help me with a gargantuan debt that had accrued from a long-neglected court restitution. I was reluctant to call anybody at first, being that I tend to be pessimistic and skeptical that there is a solution to such situations. She convinced me to call various lawyers and Mr. Hodyno was the only one willing to really even hear out my situation past the point of me explaining my financial limitations and that I can't afford to pay a lawyer. Over the period of a little more than a week we spoke a few times and he explained to me that he could charge me a $200 fee to do the same thing I could just do myself for free by contacting the collections agency and asking a specific question and then getting back to him with their response. Once I did what he had walked me through to do he explained that based on the agency's response he could tell me that sadly there was no recourse for my situation which of course was disappointing, but he also explained that there are plenty of lawyers out there who would have charged me a 200 - plus-dollar fee knowing in advance that there was no easy answer to my situation and thus essentially would have ended up stealing from me and adding at least $200 to my already sizable debt. Thanks to Mr. Hodyno's honesty, integrity, humanity and willingness to talk me through a relatively simple few steps I can now rest in the knowing that the debt is just something I will have to be diligent about and chip away at over time - minus $200! I know it may sound disappointing in that I did not get the ideal outcome, but I genuinely appreciated Mr. Hodyno's guidance and willingness to take the time to be straight with me. Thanks, Brant!- Kevin

"Someone you can trust"
Brant Hodyno is definitely someone you can trust and he truly cares. When I contacted him about the possibility of filing Chapter 7, he provided a solicitous phone consultation that was very thorough. Even though we determined that I can't file right away due to a Life Estate issue on my family property, I know if my situation changes I will be contacting him immediately. I recommend him 100% for any Bankruptcy filing.
