Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

HOORAY!!!!! As of November 2021, I have met my obligation of payments for my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. As we know, no one sets out to get themselves in a financial bond in which they find themselves struggling to pay bills. Well unfortunately, in October 2016, I was in over $80,000 in debt. The gr...eat new was that I found a Law Firm (Scott E. Tanne Attorney At Law) to help me out of my situation. I was Blessed to find Scott on the internet as I was searching for Bankruptcy Attorneys. I made the call, followed his instructions, did everything he asked within the time restraints and Scott took it from there. It was great having someone to represent me that knew what they were doing, did the job professionally, did not drag their feet, answered EVERY question and concern, and most of all provided step by step information of what to expect. Anytime Scott was not available, he had an assistant that was equally qualified to handle every situation. I am now DEBT FREE and rebuilding my Credit. I strongly recommend Scott E. Tanne Attorney At Law to anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation. You won't be disappointed. Sincerely, Debra J. A Satisfied Client

Highly recommend this amazing team

I was very much in debt when I was referred to Scott’s office. From the beginning, everyone was very friendly, professional, and followed up regarding all of my concerns. Scott explained everything and really eased my concerns about the process. Once I decided to move forward, they continued to answ...er all my questions and keep my case moving. This team is highly effective and now I have a fresh start! I would highly recommend Scott and his staff.

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.

Christine Curran Esq

Christine Curran was the attorney who handled our bankruptcy case. She went above and beyond to assist us in every way possible. She was always available and responded on the same day to phone calls or emails. She understood our financial situation and spent additional time with us explaining every d...etail of our case. She was extremely patient while we sorted through all the documentation that was necessary to file the case. I would recommend her to anyone who is in a difficult financial situation that may require a bankruptcy attorney. Your consultation with the firm will be simple, but very informative and they will assist you in making a determination as to whether you need to file bankruptcy or not. I will be forever grateful that I found this firm and Christine Curran to handle our case.

Extremely grateful to Scott Tanne and his associates

I was in a very difficult situation with my job and my personal finances. I have a well paying job but I was careless with my finances and had a tremendous amount of debt. My job relied heavily on commission made each month which was not guaranteed and I hold 7 licenses where if I ended with legal ...action from creditors it would end my career. I consulted with Scott Tanne and he took the time to listen to my situation and my concerns. He really listened and really understood my all of my concerns. He came up with the suggestion that I file a Chapter 13. It would protect me from creditors, protect me from regulators taking away my licenses, and help me restructure my debt to pay it over time. Most importantly he saved my job that I had for 20 years which I could lose if I did not seek his help. Scott Tanne is truly a professional who listens and cares about his clients. He knew how stressed I was over the situation and he totally restored order in my life. I am so grateful to Scott and his staff was also extremely helpful. The communication was excellent and they guided me every step of the way. I can now move forward in life with confidence once again thanks to Scott Tanne. I am so grateful for his expertise and understanding. I personally was embarrassed with my financial situation, but Scott made me feel comfortable in telling him everything so he could make the right decisions for me. I am so grateful and I want everyone to know that if you need a great attorney Scott Tanne is someone I would highly recommend.
