Our Additional Practice Areas

At Compassionate Counsel, your needs are our top priority, and we treat each of our client’s concerns with the respect and empathy they deserve. You will have direct access to our attorneys throughout our handling of your case. No matter what type of challenge you are facing, our team is prepared to explore all available solutions and will fight to secure a favorable outcome.

Our general legal services in Scottsdale include assistance with:

Estate Planning. Every adult needs to plan for what will happen when they pass away or become incapacitated. An estate plan gives you an enforceable say in who will receive your assets, who will look after your children, what types of medical care you will receive when you are unable to communicate, and who will enforce your wishes when you die or cannot serve as your own advocate. Our team is extensively familiar with many types of estate planning tools and can help you implement wills, trusts, advance directives, powers of attorney, and more. We will work to identify the solutions that will address your unique concerns and provide you with security and peace of mind.

Asset Protection. Creditors, litigants, probate, divorce, and even estate taxes can all potentially endanger your assets. You will need to carefully structure your holdings and utilize asset protection tools to shield your property against these and other threats. Asset protection solutions must almost always be implemented proactively, and many are used specifically to benefit future generations. If you have concerns about asset protection, we can review all available options and will work to secure as much of your estate as possible.
Small Business Organization. If you are an entrepreneur looking to build a company from the ground up, our team can help you select the appropriate business entity. Your business’s legal structure will determine how it is taxed and governed. Your business entity selection will also influence your level of personal liability. We will assess your current and future goals and advise what type of entity will help achieve them. Once you have made your choice, our lawyers can draft and file all applicable paperwork and assist with your ongoing organizational and contracting needs.
Divorce. Divorce is never easy, as issues of alimony, child support, child custody, and property division will need to be decided. With so much at stake, you need an experienced and diligent legal advocate in your corner. Our team is ready to fight on your behalf and do everything possible to secure a fair and reasonable result.
Personal Injury Claims. When you are injured in an accident, you should be focused on your recovery and not have to worry about bills. If your injuries are the result of another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to obtain compensation for medical bills, property damage, losses in earning capacity, missed wages, physical and emotional pain and suffering, and other types of harm. Our attorneys know how personal injury claims are adjudicated in Arizona and can assist you with cases involving automobile accidents, dog bites, slip and fall incidents, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, and more. We will always work to recover the maximum compensation available to you.

Client Reviews

At Compassionate Counsel, your satisfaction is our priority! See for yourself what our clients have to say about working with us.

"I am so glad I chose them to help me through it"
Both Kris and Brant were wonderful to work with! They made the process so easy and less intimidating. Both were always so quick to reach out when I had any questions and always helped alleviate any concerns I had. I appreciate so much that I was never left wondering what was going on with my case, and loved how easy they were to talk to - I never felt overwhelmed with legal terms! They are genuinely compassionate in what is a very stressful time and I am so glad I chose them to help me through it. 100% recommend!

- Rachel M.
"They made me feel confident in their work during the whole process"
If this was a service you go to repeatedly I definitely would! I started with a different attorney who I had zero confidence in and thankfully got a referral for Compassionate Counsel because it was like night and day. They are thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. They did not seem annoyed when I asked questions and very attentive when I reached out. They made me feel confident in their work during the whole process. Highly recommend!!

- K G.
"Do yourself a favor and call Compassionate Counsel today"
Compassionate Counsel may sound too good to be true, but it's not. My call with Brant was quick and reassuring. He addressed my concerns with kindness and expertise. Do yourself a favor and call Compassionate Counsel today. You'll be writing a review like mine in no time! - Tim in Phoenix

"I definitely recommend Compassionate Counsel"
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!

"A genuinely good person is hard to find these days. So thank you Brant for your kindness."
I spoke with Brant. We discussed my options and I was completely surprised. He gave me options that 8 other attorney's "forgot" to mention. My concerns were acknowledged and were quickly resolved by those options. I didn't feel pressured or nervous speaking to him. Brant is the most down to earth, great person I've spoken to in a long time. He's honest and straight forward. No surprise endings here. I now know what I can do to protect myself from creditors and I won't be hurt in the process. In situations like this you need someone who understands your position and not just in it for the money. A genuinely good person is hard to find these days. So thank you Brant for your kindness.

- D. H.
"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!

- Lina B.
"What a rarity it is to find an attorney who "walks the walk." Compassionate Counsel is truly what this firm provides"
I spoke with Brant a couple times on the phone regarding my son's financial hardships and both times I hung up feeling that I had received accurate, understanding, and caring advice. Both phone calls were received quickly after my reaching out to him too. What a rarity it is to find an attorney who "walks the walk." Compassionate Counsel is truly what this firm provides. I recommend them with 100% assurance that you will be blown away by the caring and knowledgeable service you will receive.

- Lisa Dee S.
"He's a really cool human being and I'm glad that there are lawyers out there like him!"
Looking into this kind of thing is really stressful and confusing but Brant totally took that all away. He took time out of his day to answer my questions, give me some tools and was super transparent about the process. He's a really cool human being and I'm glad that there are lawyers out there like him! Thanks again!
