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!

Scott & Mandi are the perfect DUO

I wanted to wait before I do a review so that I can fully disclose on how great of a process Scott and Mandy performed during my chapter 13 bankruptcy. During the summer of 2022 had concluded my bankruptcy two years early. But I could not have done so without the help of my attorney, Scott Tanne and ...Mandi. Besides being very knowledgeable in the area, they were able to coach me with legal advice, and even when I was feeling discouraged about the process, they they lifted me up with the mindset that I can get it done. I am now in the process of buying my home post chapter 13, with a higher credit rating six months after the process. If you are having a financial hardship, turn to these guys and you won’t regret it.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Mr. Tanne successfully completed a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy case for me. Retaining him was a smart decision. My life was in complete turmoil at that time. Mr. Tanne is knowledgeable in this line of work, and very professional. He kept me abreast of all aspects of the case. He informed me in advance... of documents needed by the Courts and notified me of any appearances whether my presence was required or not. Thank you so much Mr. Tanne. What a difference you have made in my life. I was able to gain financial independence and most of all peace of mind. Relief from overwhelming debt began the moment you started the proceedings and now with the joy of seeing a successful Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Case come to an end. I have no problems recommending Mr. Tanne for all of your Bankruptcy needs. Believe me, I was able to retain so many things I thought I was going to lose. I must state that the prices that comes with his services are not overbearing at all. Mr. Tanne has made a tremendous change in my life. I have achieved financial freedom!

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

HOORAY!!!!! As of November 2021, I have met my obligation of payments for my Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. As we know, no one sets out to get themselves in a financial bond in which they find themselves struggling to pay bills. Well unfortunately, in October 2016, I was in over $80,000 in debt. The gr...eat new was that I found a Law Firm (Scott E. Tanne Attorney At Law) to help me out of my situation. I was Blessed to find Scott on the internet as I was searching for Bankruptcy Attorneys. I made the call, followed his instructions, did everything he asked within the time restraints and Scott took it from there. It was great having someone to represent me that knew what they were doing, did the job professionally, did not drag their feet, answered EVERY question and concern, and most of all provided step by step information of what to expect. Anytime Scott was not available, he had an assistant that was equally qualified to handle every situation. I am now DEBT FREE and rebuilding my Credit. I strongly recommend Scott E. Tanne Attorney At Law to anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation. You won't be disappointed. Sincerely, Debra J. A Satisfied Client

Amazing Attorney!!

Scott Tanne and his team, including attorney Christine Curran and paralegal Manda Coad, were just amazing all the way. From the very beginning through the Trustee hearing and ultimately the confirmation of my chapter 13 case, they were very clear, transparent and guided me through the whole process w...ith care, compassion and empathy. If you need to go through a bankruptcy, I strongly recommend this team without any hesitation!
