A compassionate man and fine lawyer

I had to close a business and declare bankruptcy during the pandemic. My case was complicated by the death of my husband. The trustee made it really rough. Scott made an unbearable time in my life a little easier. I will be forever grateful for his guidance and compassion. I am now on the other ...side of my grief, and my bankruptcy, and in a place to be able to leave this review. Thank you, Scott.

Great experience during a bad time.

In 2015 due to circumstances beyond my control, I fell behind on my bills, especially my mortgage. I tried negotiating with creditors but when that did not work, I was forced to file bankruptcy. My fear with bankruptcy was that I would never be able to get credit again and that it would interfere wi...th my employment. I was referred to Scott Tanne by a good friend who had a positive experience working with his firm. During my consultation with Scott, he never pushed me to file bankruptcy in fact he discussed alternatives first. A few short years later not only did I save my home, I now have excellent credit and a six-figure income. Filing for bankruptcy was one of the hardest decisions that I have ever had to make in my life but it was well worth it. If anyone is looking for a good bankruptcy attorney that truly cares about his clients, I recommend the Law Office of Scott Tanne.

Amazing Attorney!!

Scott Tanne and his team, including attorney Christine Curran and paralegal Manda Coad, were just amazing all the way. From the very beginning through the Trustee hearing and ultimately the confirmation of my chapter 13 case, they were very clear, transparent and guided me through the whole process w...ith care, compassion and empathy. If you need to go through a bankruptcy, I strongly recommend this team without any hesitation!

Life Changing!!!

I am so grateful to get a second wind on life. Before contacting Scott E Tanne I was so lost, frightened and embarrass by the turn of events I was facing. But through coaching and guidance by Mr.Tanne and his team I can finally breathe again. Mandi and Christine thank you both so much for your patien...ce, guidance and most of all caring attitude towards my situation. Mr. Tanne you held my hand through out the entire process and gave me confidence to push through. I am forever grate to now be back im control of my finances and so thankful to you all for showing me a way out when I thought there was none. Bankruptcy can be a scary thing but thanks to you I feel renewed and ready to take on life again. Forever thankful, Ana.
