If there were more stars I would use them.

Not only was Scott efficient, his staff was kind and responsive considering we were novices. We had trepidations since this was a very stressful situation. Every conceivable issue was explored, there were a LOT of necessary questions to be answered. Thankfully His staff and he, never made us fee...l foolish. There were a number of forms to fill out and Email back to Mandy, she never seemed to tire of my incessant questions. Both her and Ms. Curran, the other lawyer were with us every step of the way. This was a painful and difficult process, made immeasurably easier for us. As we went along there we many, many questions that we had, they were ALL answer calmly, succinctly , and accurately. We appreciated the clarity . Every thing was completed in a timely manner with enough time so that we never felt rushed. Scott is EXTREMEY knowledgeable about the various types of bankruptcies as it is the ONLY thing he does. We were very luck to have chosen his firm. We can Whole-Heartedly recommend his entire firm, it was a pleasure. Thank you so much for the opportunity to express our gratitude. Rick and Tibi PS we were successful.

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.

Amazing Attorney!!

Scott Tanne and his team, including attorney Christine Curran and paralegal Manda Coad, were just amazing all the way. From the very beginning through the Trustee hearing and ultimately the confirmation of my chapter 13 case, they were very clear, transparent and guided me through the whole process w...ith care, compassion and empathy. If you need to go through a bankruptcy, I strongly recommend this team without any hesitation!
