Put me at ease during a nerve-wracking process

I was overwhelmed by medical expenses due to having a premature child years ago, as well as debt and legal fees incurred during and after divorce. Filing for bankruptcy was one of the last things I've ever wanted to do, but I felt like I had no choice. Scott and his staff were very patient and answe...red my questions throughout the process.

Extremely grateful to Scott Tanne and his associates

I was in a very difficult situation with my job and my personal finances. I have a well paying job but I was careless with my finances and had a tremendous amount of debt. My job relied heavily on commission made each month which was not guaranteed and I hold 7 licenses where if I ended with legal ...action from creditors it would end my career. I consulted with Scott Tanne and he took the time to listen to my situation and my concerns. He really listened and really understood my all of my concerns. He came up with the suggestion that I file a Chapter 13. It would protect me from creditors, protect me from regulators taking away my licenses, and help me restructure my debt to pay it over time. Most importantly he saved my job that I had for 20 years which I could lose if I did not seek his help. Scott Tanne is truly a professional who listens and cares about his clients. He knew how stressed I was over the situation and he totally restored order in my life. I am so grateful to Scott and his staff was also extremely helpful. The communication was excellent and they guided me every step of the way. I can now move forward in life with confidence once again thanks to Scott Tanne. I am so grateful for his expertise and understanding. I personally was embarrassed with my financial situation, but Scott made me feel comfortable in telling him everything so he could make the right decisions for me. I am so grateful and I want everyone to know that if you need a great attorney Scott Tanne is someone I would highly recommend.
