Adam was able to help with my student loan issue quickly and efficiently. He was always available as needed and kept me in the loop with everything happening right away. I am totally happy with the service he provided!
I reached out to Adam to help negotiate a settlement for private (SM) student loans that were in collections for a younger family member. He was excellent and professional. There was a lot of anxiety around this for the loan holder and Adam's knowledge, demeanor and communications were always reassuring and kept us moving along in the process. I found his rates to be extremely fair and he was able to negotiate a settlement we could agree to. Having the enormous weight of those loans off has been literally life changing for my family memeber. Would highly recommend his services for anyone who needs help in this area.
I help people who have legal issues involving student loans, colleges, and universities.

The Top-Flight Student Loan Lawyer
Fortunately for my wife and I, we live in Massachusetts and were able to consult with Adam Minsky about my wife's student loans--over $60,000. We not only hired him after the initial consultation, we also consulted with him on my student loan woes as well.
My wife was past full-retirement age, and after 10 years of faithful loan payments, had barely touched any of her loan principle. The decade of payments had gone almost exclusively to interest, and she could no longer work. We chose one of the options Adam presented, and with his guidance, we submitted the paperwork (You will be very glad of his endless patience and knowledge during the process), and waited.
This week, we got notified that ALL her loans had been discharged! We are so grateful that she can stay retired and focus on her health and golden years.
I also submitted different paperwork for part of my loans. It will be a while still until I know the results, but whatever happens with my loans, we will always be immensely grateful for Adam's expertise in handling my wife's loans. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is confused or has lost hope with the disposition of their student loans.

Professional, Courteous and Very Effective
Attorney Minksy helped my wife and I negotiate a settlement with a student debt collector. Resolving the outstanding debt affordably and quickly seemed unlikely, but Adam worked patiently with us to identify strategies and opportunities that we never would have arrived at on our own. In the end we saved several times more than we were charged for the legal services. We cannot recommend Adam highly enough!

As a busy teacher and toddler mom, I don’t often take the time to write reviews. I was intimidated and overwhelmed with my student loan situation. As you can imagine, the burden of debt weighed heavily on my mind. I am forever grateful to have been connected with Adam. During our initial consultation, he was patient, understanding and extremely knowledgeable in all facets of my loans. He explained terminology to me in a way that made sense. He took the time to answer all of my questions and explained my options and how to begin the entire process. Retaining Adam was truly the best financial decision I have ever made. After the process began, Adam followed up with me consistently to ensure that everything was submitted and filled out properly. He sent me links and addresses to make everything as simplistic as possible. When a new loan forgiveness opportunity presented itself, it was Adam who reached out to me. I never would’ve thought I was eligible without his professionalism, guidance and consistent check-ins. The outcome was shocking. My loans, in the 6 figures, were forgiven. This has forever impacted my family in the most positive way. Without this level of debt, I finally have the opportunity to save. It has instilled a new level of hope. Thank you Adam. I will always be so thankful for such incredible help. The results were life changing. For anyone with student loan debt, I strongly suggest a consultation with Adam.

Adam got my loans completely dismissed
I contacted Adam because I was getting sued after being unable to pay back student loans due to disability and cancer. Adam was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions before I even asked them. He worked quickly to get not only the private loans I contacted him about, but also the federal loans I was not being sued for dismissed. I was not even aware that getting loans dismissed due to disability was an option. Within about 3 months, Adam was able to completely eliminate my student loan debt. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and also honored the use of my preferred name over my legal one. The only thing I had to do was sign the documents he sent and have my doctor fill out some forms. I could not be more satisfied with my experience hiring Adam for this process. It was such a relief to have someone so knowledgeable handle the entire situation and have such a positive outcome.

Exceptional Expertise and Care
Adam Minsky is a nationally renowned expert in student loan policy and my first interaction with him exemplified why. He became as a lifeline in the confusing abyss of federal student loan debt. He provided me the knowledge and expertise to empower a path forward towards student loan relief and eventual forgiveness. Adam conveys information clearly and understandably and explains your options and which are most beneficial to one's individual circumstances. He provides concrete action items to take back control of student loan debt. Mr. Minsky helped me to obtain the information I needed and make a plan that was most financially sound. I finally felt I had an expert I could trust on my side. Adam is also compassionate and understanding of the emotional weight student loan debt borrowers carry. He guided me to secure my future financial stability. Adam was communicative and responsive, making time when he had none. I will always be grateful for his care and expertise.

The "Original" Student Loan Lawyer
While a lawyer and I think of reasonable intelligence, nonetheless, I suffered from years of not properly understanding student loans, some bad advice from my old law school, and years of unemployment. I was deeply in student loan debt.
I found Adam in an internet search, even before meeting him, impressed he had started a practice in this market niche. We actually did meet, though all of correspondence afterwards was by phone and email. In all our communications, I was impressed by Adam's knowledge of student loans, analytical ability in determining the payment history (and remaining payments), and keeping track of program changes from Department of Education and Congress.
Thanks to Adam, we sorted out my loan history, got me on the most economical and beneficial payment plan, and helped me enroll in the PSLF program.
Years of my payment, periodically consulting Adam, the loans were recently forgiven!
Without Adam's help and encouragement, I'd be facing decades of continued loan payments and an even deeper hole!

Adam is the student loan expert!
After multiple calls to my student loan servicer's customer service departments, I was getting frustrated with being pointed in the wrong direction or advised in so many conflicting ways for how to proceed with my loans. I knew I needed to seek expert advice elsewhere so after some searching, I discovered Adam writes articles regularly regarding all things related to student loans. With the constant change in student loan forgiveness and repayment plans, I felt confident that Adam would be able to review all of my loans and help advise me on the best way to proceed. Adam is extremely thorough and also helped me sort through and fill out all the paperwork needed to complete the multi-step process to getting my loans consolidated and then into the PSLF limited waiver. Adam is an expert on student loans. If you're feeling as overwhelmed as I was, go to him!

Case dismissed!
I had a great experience working with Attorney Adam Minsky. He was professional and knowledgeable about the needs of my case. He walked me through every step and provided clear expectations of the process. I appreciated his transparency about fees and clear communication in a timely manner. Before I reached out to him, I was following him on social media and read many of his published articles and that gave me a better insight of his work. If you need representation for student loans, I highly recommend Adam. I also recommend adding him to your social media outlets to stay informed. Adam, thank you for all the work you do and for being able to provide a positive experience on such a difficult and stressful time!

Job well done.
Adam Minsky saved the day! After long and arduous battles with various loan servers outside help was needed.
Through Attorney Minsky’s direction and understanding of the process he guided us to the changes that were necessary in the fight to win student loan forgiveness. Adam’s consultation brought success. Without that guidance the Battle with those loan servers would still be going on. Thank you Adam.

I cant express my gratitude enough for Adams services, expertise and kindness. He really put my mind at ease in making some major life decisions about my student loans. I only wish I had found him sooner. It would have saved me a lot of angst and agony as well of lack of confidence in making decisions. Instead I can now move forward with my life knowing I am making the best financial decisions for my self and my family that are available to me and save my time worry and money for something else!

I was in need of counsel for assistance with settling my student loan debt. I reached out to Adam after receiving multiple referrals of his great work.
Adam responded to my inquiry the same day and was able to schedule a meeting shortly thereafter. I shared my story, he listened and was engaged throughout the entire conversation. He provided great insight and was able to provide the best course of action to resolve my problem.
Without Adam, my situation would have been daunting. With Adam, the process was informative, and seamlessly positive. I could not recommend Adam enough!

Super helpful for a difficult situation
I got sued by attorneys representing National Collegiate Trust. It was a tricky situation that I had never been in before—I’m a classic case of first generation college student and first generation US citizen. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into.
I reached out to Adam specifically due to his specializing in student loan debt cases. Adam was super responsive and explained what was happening on crystal clear language so I had a full understanding of the situation. I highly recommend Adam to represent you because of his expert knowledge, professionalism, and swift action to help out.
