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.

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.

Excellent Experience

When I realized that bankruptcy was the only option in my situation, I found Scott Tanne and his firm, not knowing what to expect. I was nervous, embarrassed and slightly overwhelmed. From the first telephone call I knew I was in good hands. Every step of the process was explained to me and every que...stion I had was answered. There was never a moment I felt like I didn't know what was going on. Scott and his firm communicated with me on the phone, through email and were very quick to respond. I felt at ease when going through the process and I would no doubt recommend him to anyone who is in need.

Scott Tanne, ESQ. One of the Best

Scott Tanne provided excellent legal services and advise over a decade ago. Base on a long and drawn out divorce process, which resulted in 6-figure legal fees and other related costs, I was becoming financially challenged for the first time in my life. Scott help me restructure my finances. In ...retrospect, his advice and services were professionally delivered at a high level. I have a long and trustworthy relationship with Scott. He earned it!

An excellent lawyer; excellent staff

I went to see Mr. Tanne when I was at a low point in my life. I had lost my job and 3/4 of my income several months earlier and was now on the verge of losing my home. I had kept up with my finance during this time, but now realized that if this kept up, I would deplete my retirement savings. I ju...st didn't know what to do. I applied for a loan modification. After being rejected twice, I didn't have much hope. During this period I received letters from several bankruptcy firms offering their service. I didn't know very much about bankruptcy and thought it would be last thing I would consider. I cried a lot and prayed a lot. One day I thought I would give a call to one of the firms and without much discussion I was told to let my house go. When I hesitated, I was abruptly told " You are not ready for this. Call me back when you are ready." He then abruptly hung up. I cried even harder and prayed harder. A few months later, I went through the stack of letters from other law firms and opened up a letter from Scott E. Tanne's Law firm. Nervously I called. Beginning with my first contact, I was impressed. I scheduled an appointment and went in to meet with Scott Tanne. I can't say my tears were stopped immediately but his level of professionalism, compassion, and honesty gave me hope. I knew he wanted to help me. I told him I really wanted to keep my house. He told me that he couldn't guarantee that we would be able to help me keep my house, but could help me improve my finances. I retained Mr. Tanne and started the bankruptcy process. For me this process was tedious at times, but because of the firm's expertise, demonstrated by their thoroughness and attention to detail, the filing process was smooth to completion. They explained everything I needed and made sure that all necessary information was obtained before going to court. Mr. Tanne's team was tremendously supportive all the way through the process. Thankfully I received my loan re-modification and Mr. Tanne helped me to understand the terms and advised me to proceed with the modification. When we went to court, I was immensely impressed with how well prepared I was in comparison to other bankruptcy cases. The hearing was absolutely painless and expeditious. More than eight years later, I am still in my home, my credit has ben re-established, I have very modest debt, and I couldn't be more grateful to Mr. Tanne and his staff for all they did to restore my peace of mind. Without reservation I recommend the law office of Scott E. Tanne to anyone who is having difficulty with finances and might be contemplating filing for bankruptcy.
