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.

-
"Quickly answered my questions"Brant was there to help me every step of the way through my Bankruptcy. He quickly answered my questions no matter the time of the day and reassured me when I had doubts or concerns. He really did make the whole process easy to follow and understand.- Amy R.
-
"Incredibly Helpful"Brant was incredibly helpful at helping resolve a credit dispute and avoid a judgment from being filed against me. He was very upfront about the pros and cons of settling versus litigation, was responsive to emails, and resolved the issue within a week. After calling a big law firm initially, and speaking with the same receptionist who forgot my information 10 minutes later, it was refreshing to call the number listed and speak to Brant directly. I would highly recommend this attorney.- Casey H.
-
"Encouraging, Helpful, Reassuring"We were at wits end trying to deal with debts with insufficient income. We contacted Brant's office and were immediately given an appointment. As soon as we met with him we felt we had made the right decision. Brant was encouraging, helpful, reassuring, professional and knowledgeable from the very beginning. We knew absolutely nothing about filing and he directed us every step of the way. His rates are reasonable and his office staff is helpful. He was always available to answer questions and give help. We both feel we just can't say enough positive things about Brant.- Maggie
-
"Incredibly Effective"Brant helped both my husband and me, each with separate issues. Brant was there for us and took care of business. The advice he gave Mark was followed and worked out very well. As for me, the enduring situation was dealt with in a manner where I could not ask for more. He was incredibly effective.- Mark Ott
-
"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!- Mike Elrod

"Compassionate Counsel is an excellent name—it describes them to a "T""
When I met Kris Childers I was a complete financial and emotional disaster. I had just been served with four lawsuits in a matter of two weeks. I was working with another company trying to repay my debts. Kris was reviewing their cases and came upon mine and called me. I was not open to the idea of bankruptcy. We spoke at length, and he finally got through to me, convincing me this would be the only "sane" solution to the burden I was carrying.
His kind and gentle manner in handling my case made this so much easier. He went out of his way to pick up and drop off paperwork for me to review and sign. He answered all of my questions repeatedly. I just could not believe that heavy a financial burden could be eliminated. I can't thank Kris enough for talking sense into me. Compassionate Counsel is an excellent name for this company. It describes them to a "T", and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend their services to others who need financial help and counseling. Thank you, Kris and Brandt
