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.

Life Changing!!!

I am so grateful to get a second wind on life. Before contacting Scott E Tanne I was so lost, frightened and embarrass by the turn of events I was facing. But through coaching and guidance by Mr.Tanne and his team I can finally breathe again. Mandi and Christine thank you both so much for your patien...ce, guidance and most of all caring attitude towards my situation. Mr. Tanne you held my hand through out the entire process and gave me confidence to push through. I am forever grate to now be back im control of my finances and so thankful to you all for showing me a way out when I thought there was none. Bankruptcy can be a scary thing but thanks to you I feel renewed and ready to take on life again. Forever thankful, Ana.

Thank you

I had my bankruptcy a couple of months ago, i was struggling with financial hardship. All the money that was coming in was gone with all my credit cards payments. It was getting to a point that i end up using my savings in order to be on time with my credit card payments. The hardest part of this pro...cess was to make the decision of doing the bankruptcy. After i made the decision everything was smooth and easy. Scott and his team members took great care of me and my situation. The process was very fast and easy, they guided me through every step of the way. Thank you Scott Tanne for everything. I will recommend him 100%

Posted by Brian | August 27, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Mr. Brian S.

I came to Scott with quite an issue. I had an LLC based in OH, while I had residency in NJ. It took me several attorneys to finally give me the right answer and I was glad to finally meet Scott, whom I found on the NACBA website. Scott was able to guide me through the issues of having a business I th...ought protected me but also gave me the hard truth that I signed onto a loan that voided that protection. Declaring Personal Bankruptcy was hard because I had great credit, always paid my bills and was smart financially, but my business was not in good shape and it was a decision that I had to make. Thanks to Scott's advice, it turned out to be the right one. Working with Tanne Law was a fantastic experience. As I walked in, I instantly felt comfortable with Scott. I got all my questions answered in our initial meeting, contacted him directly several times after with more questions and developed a great relationship with his clerks and staff as they assisted with the paperwork I needed for my case. Scott explained all the Chapters that I could apply for and guided me into making the correct choice in filing for Ch. 7. During my case hearing, Christine was my representative and I never felt more at ease. I was able to answer all the questions from the Trustee truthfully and honestly knowing Christine and Scott properly prepared me for the case. I left reassured and confident after my Ch7 request was accepted and I would get a full discharge in a few months. I'm happy to report I did receive a full discharge and my life is returning to normalcy. I no longer have the stress I had hanging over me, my financial state isn't in ruins and I'm able to walk with my head high knowing I did everything I could for both my business and my family. I would highly recommend Tanne Law firm to anyone dealing with this situation. To have an ally like Scott and Christine in your corner when you're facing a scary and unpredictable situation was not only reassuring but comforting. Don't be afraid to be honest with your past and let Tanne Law take care of the rest. Trust me, you're in good hands.

BEST BANKRUPTCY FIRM

I was coming out of a horrific divorce, being left penniless with 2 young children. I had to find the right attorneys, to "right side", my life. I made a few calls, was frustrated until I connected with Scott Tanne and Christine Curran. They were, honest, thorough and very articulate in their field o...f bankruptcy law. I would not have been able to move on with my life, without their careful and steadfast guidance. The process was seamless and positive I would and have recommended them to a few people, who gladly hired them. The results were fabulous and I have started a new life. Thank you, Scott and Christine. Sincerely, Jennifer
