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!!!

The best! Advise and service all top notch!

I was in a really bad time in my life with overwhelming bills and debt. Things only got worse after a failed business venture. My personal debt was through the roof. I needed help. I contacted Scott Tanne and received all the advice and answers I needed to make the correct decision. Any and all quest...ions I had about the process, my specific situation and the aftermath were answered and taken care of in full. Once I made the decision to file for bankruptcy with Scott Tanne and Christine Curran I knew I had made the right decision. They had a whole team to help me the entire time. I was very well prepared for what was expected, what I needed to do and how things would work out. Everything went very smoothly and in the end I received the help I needed and got a new start to my life. The relief is beyond anything I imagined I would feel. Scott Tanne and Christine Curran made it so easy to do something I had no clue about. I would highly recommend their law firm for any bankruptcy needs or advice. Great value and made it very easy for me to afford their services. Highly highly recommend!

The light at the end of the tunnel

I was making headway in my debt then life got in the way and my spending got out of control and before I knew it, I was $36k in the hole. I went through a debt consolidation program which took $6k of my money without reason. I called Scott and we spoke about my situation and provided me with answers ...to all questions, made me feel comfortable and honestly treated me like I was a dear friend. Scott and his firm walked me through step by step, told me everything that would happen, and helped me process all necessary paperwork with ease. I wish I found him sooner to have had this process done sooner. Please if you are considering bankruptcy, please don’t hesitate to contact Scott Tanne. He truly was my light at the end of the tunnel.

Scott and his team are phenomenal

Scott is very thorough and honest about every part of the process. Christine helped me prepare for the hearing and really put my mind at ease and answered all of my questions. Mandi was very responsive to my emails and got back to me very quickly. I called Scott one day just to get information and he... made me so comfortable that I decided to move forward with him. Best decision I could possibly make. I cannot recommend Scott enough if you're going through bankruptcy.
