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
    "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.
    - Deana Stone
    "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
    "Patient & understanding"
    If you are looking for an Attorney who will be an advocate for you, then Brant is your man. I can not express how grateful I am to have such a patient and understanding Attorney on my side. He goes above and beyond the norm for all his clients, something that is rare these days. If you are considering bankruptcy look no further, Brant is the most professional, caring Attorney who will put you at ease and does not do anything halfway.

    "Brant and Kris have changed my life and I am forever grateful."

    Brant Hodyno and Kristopher Childers of Compassionate Counsel Legal Services have done a detailed and thorough job of helping me through a serious legal minefield. Without getting too specific about my personal situation, I want to encourage anyone needing personal or professional legal guidance and representation to contact them and share their story.

    Sometimes the complexity of a situation, legal or otherwise, requires that you need to talk to a law professional who can dissect the problem at hand and give you the overall solution in bites that can be digested. Often times a legal problem has so many layers of nuance and detail that the strategy can only be laid as the research of the problem develops. The average person can dwell on a legal problem to the point of paralysis and still not know the answer. This can be devastating to your emotional well-being.

    Part A of a comprehensive solution is explaining the law to you as a client. Advising you what you face, and how it can be dealt with in language you can understand, reviewing the alternatives and exploring the options, and doing the routine, tedious research to set a course that will guide you through troubled legal waters is a daunting task. You will know what you can expect with Compassionate Counsel.

    Finding a professional law firm that can follow through and actually deliver on their promises and stay the course can be the Part B that often eludes us. When you are lucky enough to find legal representation who can do both, pay the retainer and let them go to work.

    Legal problems need to STAY SOLVED. This can often be the tricky Part C. A good attorney will anticipate this "end game" and create a solution in advance that solves the problem AND keeps it solved. Without a three-part solution, you may find yourself fighting the same problem three years down the road.

    Brant & Kris told me what my problem was; how they would battle it; what their strategy would be and what to expect in time, cost, and energy expended. I could not be happier with the results. They have changed my life and I am forever grateful. I would recommend Compassionate Counsel to anyone facing a legal challenge!

    - Robert W.
    "So much more than we expected"
    Brant Hodyno was so much more than we expected from bankruptcy counsel. Brant gave us hope, he helped us, stood by us and fought for us. There is nothing more anyone could ask of him. We count ourselves blessed to have been directed to Brant. Compassionate Counsel is truly an appropriate name for his business. If you need help, please don't hesitate to call Brant.
    - Margaret B.
    "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!
