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.

"Skill & integrity"After careful consideration and a couple of years of struggle, we made the decision to contact an attorney to weigh the pros/cons of filing for a Chapter 7. We were very hesitant about the idea of filing for bankruptcy and totally dreading the whole process. I chose to contact Brant based on various reviews and his informative website. His fees are reasonable & from the time I contacted his office to picking up my final paperwork, Brant was great. He made himself available to us by phone, email, and in person through the entire process and was always very quick to get back to me. He was professional but also appropriately frank and forthright. He prepared us for possible difficult turns but assured us he would do everything he could to get us through with a Chapter 7 - and he did. He prepared us for the 341 meeting, calming our nerves and concerns with helpful information and encouragement. If you are trying to decide what you need to do and don't know where to turn, call Brant Hodyno. He will answer your questions honestly and will handle your case with skill and integrity.- Carol & Doug

"I am so glad I chose them to help me through it"Both Kris and Brant were wonderful to work with! They made the process so easy and less intimidating. Both were always so quick to reach out when I had any questions and always helped alleviate any concerns I had. I appreciate so much that I was never left wondering what was going on with my case, and loved how easy they were to talk to - I never felt overwhelmed with legal terms! They are genuinely compassionate in what is a very stressful time and I am so glad I chose them to help me through it. 100% recommend!- Rachel M.

"Excellent & helpful"Brant was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! I reached out to Brant's office after being sued for an extremely old credit card debt. The debt was not a large amount and although I requested and was willing to pay for a consultation and assistance, Brant acknowledged this was a matter that could easily be handled without a lawyer by myself. He then took the time to provide advice, answer all of my questions, and provide suggestions to help solve my problem. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and likable. Without a doubt, I would reach out to Brant again and will do so for any future matters and I would highly recommend his services to anyone!- Anonymous

"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.

"Great experience"Had a great experience working Brant, he responded very quickly to any emails I sent with questions and also knew how to answer all the questions I had regarding my ch.7 bk. He even made sure to be back in town for my hearing instead of sending a sub counsel in his place. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, friendly and informative attorney.- Violet V.

"Saved my home"
I had unfortunately hired another attorney that had made mistake after mistake and after 2 years in bankruptcy, I was about to lose my home. Called a website on a Friday night and left a recorded message. Brant called first thing the next day (Saturday) and was kind enough to look up my case and put my mind at ease w my home. Met him Monday and he immediately worked w the mortgage company, to clear up the stupid mistakes the other attorney had made! I was able to save my home and hired Brant to complete my bankruptcy bc I had been in bankruptcy for over 2 years!!
Brant was compassionate and listened to all my concerns, he returned all my phone calls and put my mind at ease. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that needs a great atty.
