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.
    - Paul O.
    "I definitely recommend Compassionate Counsel"
    I've always thought that lawyers would be hard to work with, but Kris made it easy for me to understand every step of the process. He was available by e-mail or phone even when he was out on vacation. Being stressed out of not knowing what to do when you've gotten yourself in this situation of too much debt comes with the territory, but Kris understood me and my situation and assured me things will run smoothly. As long as you have all your paperwork, cross your Ts and dot your Is, then things will fall into place. I definitely recommend Compassionate Counsel and speak with Kristopher Childers or Brant Hodyno. They absolutely are compassionate. Their company name says it all!
    - R.M.
    "Very patient"
    Brant was very patient with all my questions and he let me make the decisions that were best for me even if he did not agree. In this day and age to have a lawyer who lets you make the decisions on what effects you is unheard of. I was very happy and came to him on recommendation from a lawyer for one of my creditors who had gone up against him in court and thought Brant was just who I needed and he was right.
    - Deana Stone
    "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.

    - Douglas
    "Do yourself a favor and call Compassionate Counsel today"
    Compassionate Counsel may sound too good to be true, but it's not. My call with Brant was quick and reassuring. He addressed my concerns with kindness and expertise. Do yourself a favor and call Compassionate Counsel today. You'll be writing a review like mine in no time! - Tim in Phoenix
    - Tim S.
    "Great legal team who takes care of all your needs."
