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!!!

Godsend

I was going to go the debt consolidation programme route, then I had a consultation with Scott. I told him my predicament and he answered every question with patience and understanding; I felt very comfortable immediately with my decision to go with his firm. I was informed of what would happen, ...walked through every step and assisted with the complete paperwork process. His assistant Mandi is also wonderful, you can call them, leave a message or text and they will get back to you that day. (THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME, IT MADE ME FEEL THEIR COMMITMENT) Everything they said would happen, happened (and it was always positive affirmation and progress) it was not hard to trust the process and these guys getting it done. If you are considering debt consolidation, DO NOT, contact the Scott Tanne firm; expeditiously; for a peace of mind and an end of your financial misery.

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!!
