Our Powerful Debt Relief Services

No matter how hopeless your circumstances may feel, you have options. Filing for bankruptcy may be the right choice for you if you are ready to start fresh. Whether you can commit to a repayment plan or are prepared to liquidate non-exempt assets, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help you put your financial problems behind you. 

When you file for either type of consumer bankruptcy, you will be protected by the automatic stay. This court order prevents creditors from taking action against you, meaning bankruptcy can be used to stop foreclosures, repossessions, creditor lawsuits, and wage garnishments. In many cases, the automatic stay remains in effect for the duration of your bankruptcy case.

If bankruptcy is not the right choice for your specific situation, we encourage you to consider debt negotiation and settlement, instead.

Client Testimonials

Allow Our Former Clients to Tell You What Sets Us Apart
    "Prompt, thorough, honest"
    I hired Brant to help me fight a mistake on my credit report. Dealing with a creditor had been terrible to this point and I was at a dead end. Brant 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 Brant 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.

    "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!

    "They are lawyers with integrity and a heart, that seek your best interest."
    I had a truly remarkable experience with Compassionate Counsel. I know that it is so important to find lawyers with integrity and a heart, that seek your best interest without the dollar in mind. This was truly a kind experience for me.
    - Gena W.
    "Brant was really professional and guided me through my problem like a good friend."
    I was able to resolve my problem the same day by consulting and taking this firm's advice, unlike other places they took the time to discuss options rather than push you to make a decision right then and there! Brant was really professional and guided me through my problem like a good friend would therefore I highly recommend this place !!
    - Edgar S.
    "A genuinely good person is hard to find these days. So thank you Brant for your kindness."
    I spoke with Brant. We discussed my options and I was completely surprised. He gave me options that 8 other attorney's "forgot" to mention. My concerns were acknowledged and were quickly resolved by those options. I didn't feel pressured or nervous speaking to him. Brant is the most down to earth, great person I've spoken to in a long time. He's honest and straight forward. No surprise endings here. I now know what I can do to protect myself from creditors and I won't be hurt in the process. In situations like this you need someone who understands your position and not just in it for the money. A genuinely good person is hard to find these days. So thank you Brant for your kindness.
    - D. H.
