Great Advice

I hired Adam to help me make sense of my student loan situation in light of the current mess. Adam was responsive, informative, and made no effort to add on any unnecessary costs or fees. I found his information directly relevant, and his post-meeting summary letter has been my guiding light in re...cent times as I figure out my next steps. If you have significant confusion about your student loans, Adam is the way to make sense of it all. Highly recommended!

Student Loans in Collections

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 reassur...ing 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.

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, an...d 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.

Educator

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 fe...deral 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.
