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
    "Debt lawsuit assistance"
    Brant was incredibly helpful to me from the start in dealing with a lawsuit from my bank regarding an old credit card debt. He was clear about what he could (and couldn't) do for me, and was up front about his costs. He didn't promise anything that he couldn't deliver, and in fact reached a very reasonable settlement with my bank's lawyers. This debt that has weighed on my mind for nearly a decade has been resolved to everyone's satisfaction and, as a result, has lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. Although I hope never to be in this situation again, I would immediately call Brant if I was in need of such services again. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to any family or friends who find themselves in need of a debt or bankruptcy attorney.

    "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.

    "I really appreciate honesty and integrity and Brant at Compassion Counsel had that!"
    Called about 6 attorneys today for quotes and this was the first guy to be super real that’s an attorney. Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like that’s rare. He even pointed out that what I was trying to do didn’t make sense, even if it meant I didn’t use his services. I really appreciate honesty and integrity and Brant at Compassion Counsel had that!
    - Samuel C.
    "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!

    "Honesty & integrity"
    My girlfriend found Mr. Hodyno on this same website in order to help me with a gargantuan debt that had accrued from a long-neglected court restitution. I was reluctant to call anybody at first, being that I tend to be pessimistic and skeptical that there is a solution to such situations. She convinced me to call various lawyers and Mr. Hodyno was the only one willing to really even hear out my situation past the point of me explaining my financial limitations and that I can't afford to pay a lawyer. Over the period of a little more than a week we spoke a few times and he explained to me that he could charge me a $200 fee to do the same thing I could just do myself for free by contacting the collections agency and asking a specific question and then getting back to him with their response. Once I did what he had walked me through to do he explained that based on the agency's response he could tell me that sadly there was no recourse for my situation which of course was disappointing, but he also explained that there are plenty of lawyers out there who would have charged me a 200 - plus-dollar fee knowing in advance that there was no easy answer to my situation and thus essentially would have ended up stealing from me and adding at least $200 to my already sizable debt. Thanks to Mr. Hodyno's honesty, integrity, humanity and willingness to talk me through a relatively simple few steps I can now rest in the knowing that the debt is just something I will have to be diligent about and chip away at over time - minus $200! I know it may sound disappointing in that I did not get the ideal outcome, but I genuinely appreciated Mr. Hodyno's guidance and willingness to take the time to be straight with me. Thanks, Brant!

    "Best in class"
    This law firm has to be the best in class in Arizona. I would recommend this firm to anyone who needs legal needs for bankruptcy. From my personal experience, both Brant & Kris are excellent. They have reasonable prices but their personal attention, communication and professionalism are priceless. These two lawyers love what they do and they try to find the best solutions for every need. Take it from someone who shopped around over ten lawyers before choosing this firm. The moment you get on the phone with them they do not rush you and are exactly described as their business, compassionate.
