Seeking Solutions You Need to Secure a Brighter Future
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.
Our Scottsdale bankruptcy lawyers and debt settlement attorneys can assist you with:
- Debt Resolution Program. You are making payments on time but are still struggling to stay afloat. We are here to advise you on a solution that's in your best interest, not our pocketbooks, with continuing credit education, advice and support, even after we have resolved your credit issues.
- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy can help you quickly secure a clean slate. Through the liquidation of your non-exempt assets, you can begin to build a stable future and obtain the peace of mind you deserve.
- General Legal Services. We will in some limited cases assist clients with matters of estate planning, asset protection, divorce, personal injury claims, and small business reorganization.

Client Testimonials
Allow Our Former Clients to Tell You What Sets Us Apart

I hired Hodyno to help me fight a mistake on my credit report. Dealing with the creditor had been terrible to this point, and I was at a dead end. Hodyno 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 Hodyno 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 -
I had called several Attorneys before I located Brant to help me though my bankruptcy. Of all the Attorneys I spoke with all wanted to charge more money and it seemed to be their primary concern, not me as a client.
This was not the case with Brant. His concern was helping his client. I was afraid of the process but Brant literally held my hand throughout the entire process erasing all my fears.
It did not have to be as difficult as I had feared as I found out after the process was over. I credit this to Brant's patience with my many calls to him and his kindness in taking the time to listen.
If you need to file bankruptcy just save yourself all the stress and most likely some money and put your case in the hands of a true professional.

Brant helped me with all my credit issues. He explained all my options and was very patient with me. I would recommend Brant to anyone having credit issues.- Josh M.

I contacted Mr. Hodyno via a personal recommendation; he aided me in finding help to solve a financial issue. He found me an attorney that was not only very close to my place of residence and business, but, in a profession that isn't necessarily known for its amenability and personal, human connection, Mr. Hodyno and the lawyer to whom he referred me were both very good people as well as consummate professionals. Thank you very much for your help!- Greg Keras

I recently filed bankruptcy and hired Brant Hodyno to represent me in my case. He was extremely knowledgeable about the process and walked me through what would have been a very intimidating process without his representation. Brant was upfront and honest the entire way through the process and was prompt in responding to my inquiries or requests. I would absolutely recommend Brant to anyone looking to file Bankruptcy.- Liz
