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.

excellent service, totally satisfied

I miserably ran into credit card debts deeply and had to file for chapter 7. I searched online for bankruptcy lawyers and came across Scott. He is very nice and kind, and charges a reasonable price. So I retained him. Along the process, he gave me detailed advice and guides, and I prepared the materi...als needed with his also kind employees. He and his co-workers helped me a lot along the way. Though I was asked by the committee hard questions and was worried a lot, he helped me get through it successfully. I got noticed by him about the smooth progress (all I needed to do was waiting for discharge) just before last Christmas and I was so excited and felt blessed, and had a relieved and happy holiday! Now I was discharged on time, about 3.5 months after filing. It was an overall very happy and successful process, though along the way I was so nervous, of course. Scott gave me a lot comfort and courage, without his help, I cannot imagine what the mess would still be. And to my surprise, even before official discharge, my credit score jumped up more than 50%! And immediately after discharge, I received offers from credit card issuers, and I already got a pre-qualified regular card with very impressive terms, means no annual fee and 0 interest rate for 9 months (of course I will not let myself in debt again!), just a regular normal credit card, not the type that charges high fees to make miserable people more miserable! It is amazing! Now I am so happy that I am out of debt and can have a fresh start! I thank Scott and his team so so much! and Thank God I have a new life! Thanks all! Thanks for everything!!! Scott has a nice personality and is ready to help always, he and his team works effectively and know what they are doing! Based on my experience, I definitely give him and his team a 5+ star, and strongly recommend him to anyone who needs such a service! You won't regret!

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.
