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.

"Brant and Kris have changed my life and I am forever grateful."
Brant Hodyno and Kristopher Childers of Compassionate Counsel Legal Services have done a detailed and thorough job of helping me through a serious legal minefield. Without getting too specific about my personal situation, I want to encourage anyone needing personal or professional legal guidance and representation to contact them and share their story.
Sometimes the complexity of a situation, legal or otherwise, requires that you need to talk to a law professional who can dissect the problem at hand and give you the overall solution in bites that can be digested. Often times a legal problem has so many layers of nuance and detail that the strategy can only be laid as the research of the problem develops. The average person can dwell on a legal problem to the point of paralysis and still not know the answer. This can be devastating to your emotional well-being.
Part A of a comprehensive solution is explaining the law to you as a client. Advising you what you face, and how it can be dealt with in language you can understand, reviewing the alternatives and exploring the options, and doing the routine, tedious research to set a course that will guide you through troubled legal waters is a daunting task. You will know what you can expect with Compassionate Counsel.
Finding a professional law firm that can follow through and actually deliver on their promises and stay the course can be the Part B that often eludes us. When you are lucky enough to find legal representation who can do both, pay the retainer and let them go to work.
Legal problems need to STAY SOLVED. This can often be the tricky Part C. A good attorney will anticipate this "end game" and create a solution in advance that solves the problem AND keeps it solved. Without a three-part solution, you may find yourself fighting the same problem three years down the road.
Brant & Kris told me what my problem was; how they would battle it; what their strategy would be and what to expect in time, cost, and energy expended. I could not be happier with the results. They have changed my life and I am forever grateful. I would recommend Compassionate Counsel to anyone facing a legal challenge!
