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.

"Creditor settlement negotiation"I came to Brant with 2 debts to be settled. One was in lawsuit and I had tried to settle on my own for less than they wanted without any success. Brant settled both within 2 days, for much less than the original amount. He fees are reasonable, and he knows his way around creditors, lawsuits, and collection agencies. I would highly recommend him for creditor settlement negotiations.- Anonymous

"Solid Advice When I Needed It"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 -
"Someone you can trust"
Brant Hodyno is definitely someone you can trust and he truly cares. When I contacted him about the possibility of filing Chapter 7, he provided a solicitous phone consultation that was very thorough. Even though we determined that I can't file right away due to a Life Estate issue on my family property, I know if my situation changes I will be contacting him immediately. I recommend him 100% for any Bankruptcy filing.

"Brant provided more helpful information in an on-the-spot free consultation than I received in weeks"This place really lives out the name - Compassionate Counsel. Brant provided more helpful information in an on-the-spot free consultation than I received in weeks of going back and forth with another law firm. Talking to Compassionate Counsel felt less like talking to a law firm and more like talking to a genuine person who cares. Highly recommend!- Lina B.

"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!- Kevin

"Highly recommend"Brant Hodyno made this experience the best it could possibly be. During my time working with him I would say his communication was his best quality. I would email or text him on a Sunday at random hours whenever a question would pop into my head and I always received a response within a few a minutes. His second best quality is how knowledgeable he is when it comes to all types of financial questions and situations. I highly recommend Brant for any person who needs consolation and legal services.- Shyanne Calderon
