We promise our clients a direct relationship with a skilled attorney.

Our name, Compassionate Counsel, is an honest, accurate description of the services we provide.

Using Our Broad Knowledge and Background for Your Specific Situation

The business model we created for Compassionate Counsel was already significantly different than most other law firms in that we always deal directly with clients. (We answer our own phones; client communications are always directly with an attorney.) The onset of COVID-19 and the shutdown that followed prompted us to adopt software and technology platforms that promote personal interaction, online security, and ease of use. We upgraded our primary case management software provider to provide clients a better end user experience. We started using video conferencing technology including Zoom and Facetime for a more personal experience during one-on-one consultations and follow-ups. And we purchased a secure online portal solution (Verifyle) for encrypted document collection and discussion of sensitive matters.

We care about our clients. Many are already overwhelmed with stress and anxiety as they begin the bankruptcy process. COVID has heightened those emotions. Our goal is to reduce the stress involved with their representation.

"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!

"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!

"Excellent Attorney"
Brant is the nicest person and an excellent attorney! I would recommend him to any and everyone. He was on top of everything and he worked quickly to get everything resolved in a timely manner. He is a great communicator! Not expensive at all! Thank you, Brant for all you have done!

"Brant was really professional and guided me through my problem like a good friend."
I was able to resolve my problem the same day by consulting and taking this firm's advice, unlike other places they took the time to discuss options rather than push you to make a decision right then and there! Brant was really professional and guided me through my problem like a good friend would therefore I highly recommend this place !!
