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 & Mandi are the perfect DUO

I wanted to wait before I do a review so that I can fully disclose on how great of a process Scott and Mandy performed during my chapter 13 bankruptcy. During the summer of 2022 had concluded my bankruptcy two years early. But I could not have done so without the help of my attorney, Scott Tanne and ...Mandi. Besides being very knowledgeable in the area, they were able to coach me with legal advice, and even when I was feeling discouraged about the process, they they lifted me up with the mindset that I can get it done. I am now in the process of buying my home post chapter 13, with a higher credit rating six months after the process. If you are having a financial hardship, turn to these guys and you won’t regret it.

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.
