A compassionate man and fine lawyer

I had to close a business and declare bankruptcy during the pandemic. My case was complicated by the death of my husband. The trustee made it really rough. Scott made an unbearable time in my life a little easier. I will be forever grateful for his guidance and compassion. I am now on the other ...side of my grief, and my bankruptcy, and in a place to be able to leave this review. Thank you, Scott.

Smooth and Effective

Before working with Scott's office I was neck deep in bad debt and had just lost my corporate job. Scott answered all my questions and helped me understand the process I was signing up for. Mandi and Christine from his office were wonderful as well. They are professional, on time, and have great comm...unication. Mandi replies to emails quickly and Christine provided a great prep call for my hearing. I would highly recommend Scott's office to anyone looking to file for bankruptcy. It is smooth and effective. Today my life is changed, for the better.

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.
