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.

excellent service, totally satisfied

I miserably ran into credit card debts deeply and had to file for chapter 7. I searched online for bankruptcy lawyers and came across Scott. He is very nice and kind, and charges a reasonable price. So I retained him. Along the process, he gave me detailed advice and guides, and I prepared the materi...als needed with his also kind employees. He and his co-workers helped me a lot along the way. Though I was asked by the committee hard questions and was worried a lot, he helped me get through it successfully. I got noticed by him about the smooth progress (all I needed to do was waiting for discharge) just before last Christmas and I was so excited and felt blessed, and had a relieved and happy holiday! Now I was discharged on time, about 3.5 months after filing. It was an overall very happy and successful process, though along the way I was so nervous, of course. Scott gave me a lot comfort and courage, without his help, I cannot imagine what the mess would still be. And to my surprise, even before official discharge, my credit score jumped up more than 50%! And immediately after discharge, I received offers from credit card issuers, and I already got a pre-qualified regular card with very impressive terms, means no annual fee and 0 interest rate for 9 months (of course I will not let myself in debt again!), just a regular normal credit card, not the type that charges high fees to make miserable people more miserable! It is amazing! Now I am so happy that I am out of debt and can have a fresh start! I thank Scott and his team so so much! and Thank God I have a new life! Thanks all! Thanks for everything!!! Scott has a nice personality and is ready to help always, he and his team works effectively and know what they are doing! Based on my experience, I definitely give him and his team a 5+ star, and strongly recommend him to anyone who needs such a service! You won't regret!

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.

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.

Satisfied Client

Scott was a great advocate for my wife and I during our bankruptcy proceeding this past year. He was patient with us and had to deal with a very aggressive and persistent trustee. This caused our case to take longer than normal and required extra effort from he and his staff. I'm much appreciative o...f his efforts and have recommended him to my clients and friends and will continue to do so.
