Relief

I’ll be honest: I felt a lot of embarrassment being in a situation where I had to file for Chapter 7. But after researching online, I am beyond grateful to have found Scott Tanne and his team. From the very first interaction, they were incredibly supportive. Whether it was an email or a phone cal...l, they responded within 24 hours, making me feel like I was in the hands of true professionals who cared about my journey every step of the way. If you are considering filing for Chapter 7 or 13, please do not hesitate or feel ashamed. The Scott Tanne law office is wonderful, and they treat you with the respect you deserve. I truly cannot express enough gratitude for how they helped me secure a brighter future. Forever grateful, SD

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.
