    "What I value most about my interaction is Brants expertise and integrity"
    I spoke with Brant ( one of the senior attorneys) regarding my wage garnishment situation and got a lot of help and information with my court case. From filling out contact form online to having a consultation was a fast and flawless process. What I value most about my interaction is Brants expertise and integrity while at the same time a down to earth interaction. Thank you 🙏

    "Debt lawsuit assistance"
    Brant was incredibly helpful to me from the start in dealing with a lawsuit from my bank regarding an old credit card debt. He was clear about what he could (and couldn't) do for me, and was up front about his costs. He didn't promise anything that he couldn't deliver, and in fact reached a very reasonable settlement with my bank's lawyers. This debt that has weighed on my mind for nearly a decade has been resolved to everyone's satisfaction and, as a result, has lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. Although I hope never to be in this situation again, I would immediately call Brant if I was in need of such services again. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to any family or friends who find themselves in need of a debt or bankruptcy attorney.

    "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

    "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!
