The light at the end of the tunnel

I was making headway in my debt then life got in the way and my spending got out of control and before I knew it, I was $36k in the hole. I went through a debt consolidation program which took $6k of my money without reason. I called Scott and we spoke about my situation and provided me with answers ...to all questions, made me feel comfortable and honestly treated me like I was a dear friend. Scott and his firm walked me through step by step, told me everything that would happen, and helped me process all necessary paperwork with ease. I wish I found him sooner to have had this process done sooner. Please if you are considering bankruptcy, please don’t hesitate to contact Scott Tanne. He truly was my light at the end of the tunnel.

Scott and his team are phenomenal

Scott is very thorough and honest about every part of the process. Christine helped me prepare for the hearing and really put my mind at ease and answered all of my questions. Mandi was very responsive to my emails and got back to me very quickly. I called Scott one day just to get information and he... made me so comfortable that I decided to move forward with him. Best decision I could possibly make. I cannot recommend Scott enough if you're going through bankruptcy.

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.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Mr. Tanne successfully completed a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy case for me. Retaining him was a smart decision. My life was in complete turmoil at that time. Mr. Tanne is knowledgeable in this line of work, and very professional. He kept me abreast of all aspects of the case. He informed me in advance... of documents needed by the Courts and notified me of any appearances whether my presence was required or not. Thank you so much Mr. Tanne. What a difference you have made in my life. I was able to gain financial independence and most of all peace of mind. Relief from overwhelming debt began the moment you started the proceedings and now with the joy of seeing a successful Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Case come to an end. I have no problems recommending Mr. Tanne for all of your Bankruptcy needs. Believe me, I was able to retain so many things I thought I was going to lose. I must state that the prices that comes with his services are not overbearing at all. Mr. Tanne has made a tremendous change in my life. I have achieved financial freedom!

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
