Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Know If I Qualify for Bankruptcy?

To determine your eligibility for bankruptcy, we conduct a thorough review of your financial situation, including your income, expenses, and debt obligations. In Phoenix, you may qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy if your income is below the state's median income, allowing for a complete discharge of unsecured debts. Alternatively, Chapter 13 might be suitable if you have a stable income and wish to restructure your debt into a payment plan. Our team provides personalized guidance, helping you understand your options and choose the best path forward.

What Debts Can Be Discharged in Bankruptcy?

In bankruptcy, unsecured debts such as credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans can frequently be discharged. However, certain debts, including student loans, child support, and most tax obligations, typically cannot be discharged. Our Phoenix-based bankruptcy lawyers will assess your specific debts and advise you on which obligations can be eliminated through the bankruptcy process. Our goal is to provide clarity and support, helping you make informed decisions about your financial future.

How Long Does the Bankruptcy Process Take?

The duration of the bankruptcy process in Phoenix varies based on the type of bankruptcy filed. Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be completed within four to six months of filing, while Chapter 13 involves a repayment plan that usually spans three to five years. Our team at Compassionate Counsel manages the process efficiently, ensuring timely completion and minimal stress. We strive to provide clear timelines and keep you informed every step of the way.

Will Bankruptcy Affect My Credit Score?

Filing for bankruptcy in Phoenix does impact your credit score; however, it also offers an opportunity for a financial reset. Initially, your credit score may decrease, but bankruptcy can be a powerful step toward rebuilding your financial health by eliminating burdensome debts. Our team will guide you through strategies to improve your credit post-bankruptcy, including financial planning and responsible credit use, enabling you to regain financial independence and stability.

Are There Alternatives to Bankruptcy?

Yes, there are alternatives to bankruptcy that may be suitable depending on your situation. Debt settlement, for instance, allows you to negotiate with creditors to reduce the total amount owed. Our compassionate attorneys will evaluate your circumstances and explore all available options, ensuring you choose the best path to regain financial control. Whether it's negotiating with creditors or pursuing other debt relief options, we're committed to providing the support and knowledge needed for your financial recovery.

    "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

    "Brant provided more helpful information in an on-the-spot free consultation than I received in weeks"
    This place really lives out the name - Compassionate Counsel. Brant provided more helpful information in an on-the-spot free consultation than I received in weeks of going back and forth with another law firm. Talking to Compassionate Counsel felt less like talking to a law firm and more like talking to a genuine person who cares. Highly recommend!

    "Solid Advice When I Needed It"
    I hired Hodyno to help me fight a mistake on my credit report. Dealing with the creditor had been terrible to this point, and I was at a dead end. Hodyno was empathetic during our phone call but made it a point to manage my expectations. In the end, we weren't able to get the creditor to change the language, but Hodyno was able to get me a full record of my payments from the creditor to support my dispute (which were not being released to me, neither before nor since!) He was prompt, thorough, and honest.
    Sometimes you just need an attorney to turn to for solid advice, someone to actually help you. I recommend Brant Hodyno.

Also, Brant & Kristopher are truly nice people, & really care about your individual case. If you need legal representation, look no further!

    "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.
