THANK YOU !!

This thank you note is long overdue. This past Christmas holidays while spending one night at home with 2 of my children, I began to recount to them details about my financial journey in the last 5 years. I recalled probably the darkest moment since the passing of my wife when my house was listed... under a foreclosure sheriff sale; and then what appeared to have been like a divine intervention, you approached me offering your legal services to save my house. I remembered during one meeting in your office another customer of yours telling me “Do everything he tells you to do and you’ll be fine” which I found comforting, and as a little light at the end of the tunnel. Today I feel what a piece of sound advice that was, and one that I’d be ready to pay it forward if given the chance. You developed a chapter 13 plan, got it approved by the bankruptcy court, and put it in front of me to execute for 48 consecutive months after filing on 12/30/2019. Your final advise was – keep yourself employed and make your payments every month to the mortgage companies and the trustee. I managed to do that despite some bumps along the way. Losing my wife to cancer, and with it, losing half of my household income, and then not having a steady job made it hard to keep up with the bills and my house mortgage. I shared this life episode with my children, as I was lucky now to see them making successful strides and forging ahead in their professional careers after completing their university degrees. I will forever be grateful to the two of you, for giving me the assistance to restructure my finances, and now be able to continue with better footing. Again, thank you for everything you did for me and my boys! Below is a link to my Instagram which I hope you can open and see pictures of my family, some from back then and some recent ones. I look forward for the opportunity to taking you both to lunch this coming spring. I’ll be in touch!

Bankruptcy

My situation before I contacted Tanne law firm was very bad. I was loosing my property because I could not keep up with the monthly mortgage payments. I previously tried with two law firms and each one of them promising me that they will get loan modification to save my properties and I paid them a l...ot money, but nothing ever came out it. Then I searched on internet for different attorney and I came across Tanne law firm. I made an appointment with attorney Scott Tanne and he explained to me , step by step how it is going to work, how would I be able to save my property, what I have to do. I agreed with his advice and retained him as my attorney. He is a true professional as well as all people who work in his office. If I have any question, I call them or just stop by without appointment. They are very helpful. Last October 2019 was my last payment and now I own my property and have no mortgage. What incredible feeling I have!!!.. I am so greatful for his help. Now I will be able to save money and help my father with dental implant and some other stuffs. I recommend anyone whose loosing his property and want to save it to use Tanne Law Firm.

Thank you so much for the review. You were in a very difficult situation and I'm really happy we were able to not only save your home but show you a way to pay it off for much less than you owed. Congratulations, again!

Some foreclosures have happy endings

Our bank refused to recast our home loan to the lower interest rate. They put us into foreclosure. With Scott's help we walked out of our house 5 1/2 years later and the bank gave us $5,000 to move out. Did I mention that all our credit cards settled for 20 cents on the dollar. We had $60,000 of paym...ents and improvements in the house, but saved over $150,000. Thank you Scott!!

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.

Great Lawyer! Would Definitely Recommend

I retained Scott Tanne for assistance with a foreclosure after a difficult divorce. Not only was Scott very professional, helpful, and down to earth, but he also helped take the stigma of foreclosure away for me - which was priceless. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
