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

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.

Professional, understanding and courteous

I went to Scott Tanne after accumulating a great deal of debt and having lost me job. Mr. Tanne helped me understand the bankruptcy process. He and his team were very professional and understanding. They were very responsive to all my questions through the entire process. Now my bankruptcy is dis...charged and I have a fresh start. I highly recommend Scott Tanne and his team.

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.

Made the right choice

After bad experiences with two other attorneys, our initial meeting with Scott was warm, friendly, and very informative. From the moment we sat down, he instilled a confidence in us and we immediately knew we had finally found the right lawyer. He was very caring, made us feel extremely at ease, an...d handled our cases effortlessly. He was great at thoroughly explaining what needed to be done and how it was going to be completed. Both myself and my wife consider Scott a friend, we update him how our post bankruptcy life is going, and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of bankruptcy services. Save yourself a lot of money and aggravation, and call Scott Tanne.
