While researching for a Bankruptcy attorney online, I came across the office of Scott E. Tanne, Esq., and read great reviews by his clients, so I decided to reach out to him. After our telephone conversation, I realized he was the person I wanted to represent me. Mr. Tanne’s decision to represent me ...on my Bankruptcy Petition changed my life. Therefore, as a client, I feel compelled to write a review for an extraordinary attorney with a record of successful client representation. In a clear, concise and cogent manner, he and staff explained the collateral consequences of filing a Bankruptcy Petition under 11 U.S.C. 727. Counsel answered each one of my questions in a very professional manner. He made himself available to me by phone, email, text messages through the entire process and was always responsive to my concerns. Mr. Tanne was completely honest from day one, he was so thorough in walking me through the process. His staff was incredibly easy to work with, and they were so detailed in their analysis of how the law would be applied to the facts of my case. Never feeling pressured, he clearly explained my options, what to expect and what my responsibilities would be to best facilitate the process. Thoroughly answering any questions or concerns I had, he continuously brought me peace of mind. His knowledge, professionalism and level of communication from beginning to end were exemplary and, for this, I am so grateful for his services. Mr. Tanne, in concert with his paralegal, Mandi Coates, prevailed on my petition, which evinced Counsel’s years of experience in the expertise of bankruptcy jurisprudence. I would strongly recommend Counsel to any prospective client considering whether to file a Chapter 7 pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 727.

Mr. Brian S.

I came to Scott with quite an issue. I had an LLC based in OH, while I had residency in NJ. It took me several attorneys to finally give me the right answer and I was glad to finally meet Scott, whom I found on the NACBA website. Scott was able to guide me through the issues of having a business I th...ought protected me but also gave me the hard truth that I signed onto a loan that voided that protection. Declaring Personal Bankruptcy was hard because I had great credit, always paid my bills and was smart financially, but my business was not in good shape and it was a decision that I had to make. Thanks to Scott's advice, it turned out to be the right one. Working with Tanne Law was a fantastic experience. As I walked in, I instantly felt comfortable with Scott. I got all my questions answered in our initial meeting, contacted him directly several times after with more questions and developed a great relationship with his clerks and staff as they assisted with the paperwork I needed for my case. Scott explained all the Chapters that I could apply for and guided me into making the correct choice in filing for Ch. 7. During my case hearing, Christine was my representative and I never felt more at ease. I was able to answer all the questions from the Trustee truthfully and honestly knowing Christine and Scott properly prepared me for the case. I left reassured and confident after my Ch7 request was accepted and I would get a full discharge in a few months. I'm happy to report I did receive a full discharge and my life is returning to normalcy. I no longer have the stress I had hanging over me, my financial state isn't in ruins and I'm able to walk with my head high knowing I did everything I could for both my business and my family. I would highly recommend Tanne Law firm to anyone dealing with this situation. To have an ally like Scott and Christine in your corner when you're facing a scary and unpredictable situation was not only reassuring but comforting. Don't be afraid to be honest with your past and let Tanne Law take care of the rest. Trust me, you're in good hands.

Amazing lawyer

excellent service, totally satisfied

I miserably ran into credit card debts deeply and had to file for chapter 7. I searched online for bankruptcy lawyers and came across Scott. He is very nice and kind, and charges a reasonable price. So I retained him. Along the process, he gave me detailed advice and guides, and I prepared the materi...als needed with his also kind employees. He and his co-workers helped me a lot along the way. Though I was asked by the committee hard questions and was worried a lot, he helped me get through it successfully. I got noticed by him about the smooth progress (all I needed to do was waiting for discharge) just before last Christmas and I was so excited and felt blessed, and had a relieved and happy holiday! Now I was discharged on time, about 3.5 months after filing. It was an overall very happy and successful process, though along the way I was so nervous, of course. Scott gave me a lot comfort and courage, without his help, I cannot imagine what the mess would still be. And to my surprise, even before official discharge, my credit score jumped up more than 50%! And immediately after discharge, I received offers from credit card issuers, and I already got a pre-qualified regular card with very impressive terms, means no annual fee and 0 interest rate for 9 months (of course I will not let myself in debt again!), just a regular normal credit card, not the type that charges high fees to make miserable people more miserable! It is amazing! Now I am so happy that I am out of debt and can have a fresh start! I thank Scott and his team so so much! and Thank God I have a new life! Thanks all! Thanks for everything!!! Scott has a nice personality and is ready to help always, he and his team works effectively and know what they are doing! Based on my experience, I definitely give him and his team a 5+ star, and strongly recommend him to anyone who needs such a service! You won't regret!
