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.

"The name of this business could not be more accurate."The name of this business could not be more accurate. Great company, took time to answer questions, and very knowledgeable on the subject matter I needed answers to. Would recommend this group to anyone!- Steve S.

"Class Act"Brant was hired on by me as my bankruptcy lawyer. In the middle of my case, the company he was working with started to do unethical practices that Brant was not ok with. Brant ended up starting up his own firm, but I was stuck with the company he was working with before. When it came time for us to go to court, the firm was not prepared whatsoever for our case and they were lacking tons of info for my case. I was told by them not to contact Brant as he had no control of what was going on with my current case. After we went to court and they weren't prepared, I proceeded to fire them and let them just keep my money. I then reached back out to Brant he he picked up where the case was and shuffled appointments around on his schedule to accommodate our new court date. Brant showed up and was prepared to help us with our case. The case is now closed and it is due to all of the hard work that Brant did for us after the last firm messed everything up. I would recommend Brant for any services that he provides as he is all about his customer service and making sure that his clients are informed and educated through the whole process. He is a class act and takes every case that he works personally as if it were him. If you are ever in need of a great lawyer, just reach out to Brant and he will ensure that you are well taken care of! It was easy for me to give him a 5 star review as his service and communication are 2nd to none. You should have nothing but confidence when you hire Brant Hodyno!- Justin

"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.

"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.

"Very Satisfied"
I had 2 credit card debts that had been weighing on my mind for nearly 10 years.
I received a Summons for the first Debt several months ago. I did not have an attorney at that time, so I knew I needed to find one soon. I asked friends and family how to do this. I finally found Brant's Office through the internet. I set up an appointment, when I was told who I would be meeting with I checked his qualifications with Avvo and the State.
We met in his office. We contacted the first attorney and arrived at a settlement, by phone during that meeting.
The second summons arrived a couple of weeks ago. I mailed Brant a copy. We talked this week. He negotiated a settlement with the other party.
I am very satisfied with Brant's handling of these situations.
I am happy and would recommend Brant to my friends and family.

"Truly Cares"Brant Hodyno truly cares! You would be wise to have this man on your side. I could say so much, but how about some facts: 1. The first time I ever spoke to Brant on the phone; the length of the the call and the number of questions I had, were what other attorney's would consider a consultation and probably either charge you for or simply have you make an appointment for. Brant allowed me to exhaust all my questions and answered in kind. 2. Brant allowed me to make payments to him and in the meantime he kept the creditors / collectors at bay even though I had not signed a contract yet. 3. After many months (he never once pushed or badgered for me to file) I decided to not file after all and desperately needed money for a family emergency, Brant returned a large sum of money to me and said he wants to help in any way he can! He did! He cared about me even when he had nothing financial to gain! I don't know what more i can say other than, Brant, thank you, once again!- Mike Elrod
