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.

Bankruptcy

My situation before I contacted Tanne law firm was very bad. I was loosing my property because I could not keep up with the monthly mortgage payments. I previously tried with two law firms and each one of them promising me that they will get loan modification to save my properties and I paid them a l...ot money, but nothing ever came out it. Then I searched on internet for different attorney and I came across Tanne law firm. I made an appointment with attorney Scott Tanne and he explained to me , step by step how it is going to work, how would I be able to save my property, what I have to do. I agreed with his advice and retained him as my attorney. He is a true professional as well as all people who work in his office. If I have any question, I call them or just stop by without appointment. They are very helpful. Last October 2019 was my last payment and now I own my property and have no mortgage. What incredible feeling I have!!!.. I am so greatful for his help. Now I will be able to save money and help my father with dental implant and some other stuffs. I recommend anyone whose loosing his property and want to save it to use Tanne Law Firm.

Christine Curran Esq

Christine Curran was the attorney who handled our bankruptcy case. She went above and beyond to assist us in every way possible. She was always available and responded on the same day to phone calls or emails. She understood our financial situation and spent additional time with us explaining every d...etail of our case. She was extremely patient while we sorted through all the documentation that was necessary to file the case. I would recommend her to anyone who is in a difficult financial situation that may require a bankruptcy attorney. Your consultation with the firm will be simple, but very informative and they will assist you in making a determination as to whether you need to file bankruptcy or not. I will be forever grateful that I found this firm and Christine Curran to handle our case.

Put me at ease during a nerve-wracking process

I was overwhelmed by medical expenses due to having a premature child years ago, as well as debt and legal fees incurred during and after divorce. Filing for bankruptcy was one of the last things I've ever wanted to do, but I felt like I had no choice. Scott and his staff were very patient and answe...red my questions throughout the process.
