Satisfied Client

Before hiring Scott I was hesitant and nervous about bankruptcy. I finally decided to go through with it after suffering an accident, causing me to be out of work and thus not being able to continue paying off my bills. After my first meeting with Scott I felt more at ease. He explained everything in... detail; what he needed from me, how long everything would take and the outcome of it all. He was definitely on top of my case, constantly calling me with updates and making sure I was keeping him informed of any changes. Overall, the service was excellent! Thanks to him, I'm debt free and back to work with a weight off my shoulders. I would recommend him to anyone facing similar difficulties and needing someone to guide them.

Very Helpful Attorney

I’ve struggled with money all my life. When I got pregnant, I didn’t know what to do. My bills weren’t being paid and I had a lot of credit card debt. I had to do something. My friend recommended bankruptcy. I was looking online for an attorney and found Mr. Tanne. He explained everything to me... very patiently and slowly. His team helped me so much to finally be debt free. It’s amazing how your life changes once you can start fresh. I highly recommended Mr. Tanne and his team with any situation you might be dealing with.

Bankruptcy help

Thankfully, I am able to breathe again as things are much improved following the resolution of my bankruptcy. I could only say that working with your office was very pleasant and a positive experience dealing with something so serious as bankruptcy. There was guidance along each step of the way and ...no question was ever left unanswered. A very friendly office as well.

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.
