Max

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.

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.

Put me at ease during a nerve-wracking process

I was overwhelmed by medical expenses due to having a premature child years ago, as well as debt and legal fees incurred during and after divorce. Filing for bankruptcy was one of the last things I've ever wanted to do, but I felt like I had no choice. Scott and his staff were very patient and answe...red my questions throughout the process.

Bankruptcy help

Thankfully, I am able to breathe again as things are much improved following the resolution of my bankruptcy. I could only say that working with your office was very pleasant and a positive experience dealing with something so serious as bankruptcy. There was guidance along each step of the way and ...no question was ever left unanswered. A very friendly office as well.

Chapter 7 Filing

Scott worked with me for a year before we actually filed. My business was having issues for various reasons which I attempted to repair but circumstances did not permit me to escape my financial difficulties. Scott was extremely patient throughout the process as questions and concerns continue to a...rise throughout this extremely difficult time. His patience and explanations always helped me to understand and deal with my situation. His years of experience and knowledge of the Bankruptcy law helped me through a very difficult time in my life. This process is very confusing and through his questioning and analysis, he helped to make my decisions easier to make.
