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!!

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!

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!

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.

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!!
