Allow Our Former Clients to Tell You What Sets Us Apart
-
I would recommend Brant Hodyno to anyone. He made the process of filing my bankruptcy easy and quick. He was very understanding and helped me every step of the process.- Tina Gault
-
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.
-
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.
-
I've always thought that lawyers would be hard to work with, but Kris made it easy for me to understand every step of the process. He was available by e-mail or phone even when he was out on vacation. Being stressed out of not knowing what to do when you've gotten yourself in this situation of too much debt comes with the territory, but Kris understood me and my situation and assured me things will run smoothly. As long as you have all your paperwork, cross your Ts and dot your Is, then things will fall into place. I definitely recommend Compassionate Counsel and speak with Kristopher Childers or Brant Hodyno. They absolutely are compassionate. Their company name says it all!- R.M.
-
I could not have hired a better team if I had searched the country! Brant & Kristopher have done an amazing job representing me & gave of their time freely when I had questions. Also, Brant & Kristopher are truly nice people, & really care about your individual case. If you need legal representation, look no further!- Janine S.
-
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
