Nowhere to turn to Scott helped my situation

I became a father late in life to an amazing little boy who unfortunately needed special medical treatment which I had to pay a lot out of pocket. This caused me to fall behind on my regular everyday living expenses to the point my wadges were starting to be taken. I contacted the Scott E Tanne... law firm and right from the start he and his staff talks to you in calming manner keeping you at ease and reassuring you not to worry. As my hearing approached Scott and Mandi kept me informed every step of the way, made sure I was prepared and walked me through the whole process. I was way more nervous then I should of been. They made the process painless. As of today I no longer have anyone calling me or coming after my paycheck. I managed to pay off my car and am no longer in any debt. I'm finally at peace, I can focus on my family and I am now able to manage my household pay my bills. I would highly recommend using Scott if you are in a financial situation and feel like you cant get out. Thank you Scott and team!!!

Great Team!

My situation prior to working with Scott was a terrible one. Lots of debt and non stop collection calls! Everyone was so easy to work with and made everything as easy as possible!! After my discharge my life is getting back on track and my credit is already up almost 100 points! I would ...absolutely recommend Scott and his team to anyone!

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.

Bankruptcy Lawyer Scott E Tanne, Summit, NJ

I knew the moment I walked into Mr. Tanne's office he was the right person to handle my financial problems. Before walking into his office I was very confused and intimidated just at the thought of telling this stranger all about my life and how I got to this point. Mr. Tanne made me feel like a per...son again and told me things will be okay. I left his office that day and I felt like the world was lifted off my shoulders. The next day I hired Mr. Tanne and what a relief that was. The process began immediately and the phone calls stopped within a week. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to Mr. Tanne and his staff. The best thing I have ever done. I also was recommended by someone who also used Mr.Tanne 4 years before me.
