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!!

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!!!

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!
