THE BEST "CRUTCH" IN A FINANCIAL CRISS!!

At a time when I needed to fix fmy financial hardship due to credit card bills which was incredibly getting out of hand, I felt it was time to find a fast solution. Debt consolidation was my first choice, but as time went by, I reaiized it will take years to fully settle my bills. And so I search...ed for a good and reliable bankruptcy lawyer which I know I cannot avoid. And I found Scott's Law Firm. I called, and emailed Scott. The response was quick and I found Scott was very kind and approachable. Moreover, his fee was very practical . After receiving all the necessary documents I need to send Scott, and filling out all the forms, I agreed to hire him. His assistant was equally responsive and informative. I like Scott's law firm very accommodating and thorough in providing me with all I needed to feel secure and safe with my application for filing Ch.7. I was given all the support prior to the court hearting, and his assistant was also in the court hearing which added to my confidence during the hearing. The discharge came first came through an email from Scott's's Firm and was followed by the hard copy from the Court. I am relieved that everything went well, and I am very sure TanneLaw Firm was a tremendous help in guiding me through out the entire process. I strongly recommend Scott Tanne to anyone who needs a credible bankruptcy law firm. They will not regret hiring him. because Scott was an excellent crutch for my quest to have a new lease in erasing credit card debts!!

Chapter 7

I am so grateful that I happen to find Atty. Tanne online to represent me in my bankcruptcy case (Filed March 2022, discharge on June 2022). I was hesitant at first and scared on what will be the outcome of my case however, as I started to work with Atty. Tanne everything seems to be so calm and I st...arted to have a peace of mind knowing that Atty. Tanne is well renowned for his work and had years of experienced dealing with chapter 7 and bankruptcies. He and his team Ms. Mandi have been so helpful, supportive and has walked me thru the entire process guiding me and ensuring that everything is filled out completely. I highly suggest to anyone in the State of NJ to contact Atty. Tanne and speak with him and his team. I will ensure you that your case will be handled professionally and you will be thankful that he represents you during your difficult time. There are alot of lawyers out there specializing in bankcruptcy but I will tell you, you do not want to miss the opportunity working for Atty. Tanne for your bankcruptcy needs.

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.
