Relief

I’ll be honest: I felt a lot of embarrassment being in a situation where I had to file for Chapter 7. But after researching online, I am beyond grateful to have found Scott Tanne and his team. From the very first interaction, they were incredibly supportive. Whether it was an email or a phone cal...l, they responded within 24 hours, making me feel like I was in the hands of true professionals who cared about my journey every step of the way. If you are considering filing for Chapter 7 or 13, please do not hesitate or feel ashamed. The Scott Tanne law office is wonderful, and they treat you with the respect you deserve. I truly cannot express enough gratitude for how they helped me secure a brighter future. Forever grateful, SD

THE BEST "CRUTCH" IN A FINANCIAL CRISS!!

At a time when I needed to fix fmy financial hardship due to credit card bills which was incredibly getting out of hand, I felt it was time to find a fast solution. Debt consolidation was my first choice, but as time went by, I reaiized it will take years to fully settle my bills. And so I search...ed for a good and reliable bankruptcy lawyer which I know I cannot avoid. And I found Scott's Law Firm. I called, and emailed Scott. The response was quick and I found Scott was very kind and approachable. Moreover, his fee was very practical . After receiving all the necessary documents I need to send Scott, and filling out all the forms, I agreed to hire him. His assistant was equally responsive and informative. I like Scott's law firm very accommodating and thorough in providing me with all I needed to feel secure and safe with my application for filing Ch.7. I was given all the support prior to the court hearting, and his assistant was also in the court hearing which added to my confidence during the hearing. The discharge came first came through an email from Scott's's Firm and was followed by the hard copy from the Court. I am relieved that everything went well, and I am very sure TanneLaw Firm was a tremendous help in guiding me through out the entire process. I strongly recommend Scott Tanne to anyone who needs a credible bankruptcy law firm. They will not regret hiring him. because Scott was an excellent crutch for my quest to have a new lease in erasing credit card debts!!

Nowhere to turn to Scott helped my situation

I became a father late in life to an amazing little boy who unfortunately needed special medical treatment which I had to pay a lot out of pocket. This caused me to fall behind on my regular everyday living expenses to the point my wadges were starting to be taken. I contacted the Scott E Tanne... law firm and right from the start he and his staff talks to you in calming manner keeping you at ease and reassuring you not to worry. As my hearing approached Scott and Mandi kept me informed every step of the way, made sure I was prepared and walked me through the whole process. I was way more nervous then I should of been. They made the process painless. As of today I no longer have anyone calling me or coming after my paycheck. I managed to pay off my car and am no longer in any debt. I'm finally at peace, I can focus on my family and I am now able to manage my household pay my bills. I would highly recommend using Scott if you are in a financial situation and feel like you cant get out. Thank you Scott and team!!!

Professional with empathy

Scott and his team were very helpful in my time of need. I was very nervous and afraid and Scott assured me I was within my right to file if I felt I was not able to meet my obligations. Mandi was my main contact for all the details (documents, forms, appointments) and she was very helpful. She ans...wered also my calls and replied to all my emails. It was a pleasure to work with her. Victoria prepped me for the video call with the court appointees. Took me thru the potential questions that would be asked. She was great. I highly recommend Scott Tanne!
