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!!!

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!

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.

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.
