Dr. Michael Markow

Joshua was really great up front and had a lot of optimism. However, he failed to help in any material way with the rehabilitation of my student loans and after the initial consultation he was essentially impossible to get a hold of. He also attempted to coerce me into executing legal and financial s...trategies that I clearly informed him I was incapable of (including a 20% "down payment" on my remaining loan balance to get future discounts). He's a really nice guy on the surface but his competency is questionable. FINALLY, HE LOWKEY PRESSURES ALL OF HIS CONSULTS TO WRITE GOOD REVIEWS RIGHT AFTER CONSULTATION. I DID!!!! SO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS 4-5 STAR RATING, IT MAY BE SPECIOUS. MANY MANY THUMBS DOWN FOR THIS INCOMPETENT ATTORNEY.

Dr. Markow, I'm sorry your experience was not what you expected. I've reviewed my communications, including e-mail and notes and see we haven't spoken in over a year. I'm not sure what precipitated this but I am happy to address it. I'll also admit that you were with me through staff changes which may have caused a hic-up or two. But in the end, I've always been available to you and to keep the train moving forward. Lastly, I really don't know what the 20% down payment issue is. I would never ask you or suggest you do anything you can't do financially since that is what gets most clients into the situation they are in when we first talk. I recorded our analysis for a reason - to be sure we are both clear about expectations. I also encourage e-mail exchanges after the call to have everything in writing. That said, I'm available to discuss this offline and tie up any loose ends that may exist.

Finally hope!

I scheduled this 30 minute phone call several weeks in advance. I was so nervous because I am tired of struggling financially with this loan. And this was my last hope. These loans have taken over my life. I am 59 and can’t even think of retirement. I have parent plus loans and they fall under an inc...ome contingent payment plan which makes a higher monthly payment. Every time it’s due the payment is so high that it’s a struggle until my next paycheck . My interest has accrued so much that it’s impossible to pay the loan off. Attorney Cohen was well prepared, knowledgeable and professional as well as personable. He explained the situation and what the plan is and what to do to move forward so I can live a normal life. I am for that! I will hire him. Thank you again. The consultation alone is definitely worth the money.

Fianlly someone who understand's the legalities of federal loans

Mr. Cohen explained in plain language my rights and responsibilities regarding my Federal loan situation. He was knowledgeable, well prepared for our first conversation and explained my options clearly and concisely. My plan is to hire him! Finally, I have found someone who was willing to listen a...nd develop a strategy for resolving my dispute. I have hope that I might receive justice in disputing the government's errors in handling my loan. I no longer have to "just accept" my situation without having any recourse. I look forward to working with Mr.Cohen.

Student Loan Consultation

Mr. Cohen clarified information received from FedLoan about our student loan, confirmed our loan type, repayment status and suggested option for paying off our loan. Obtaining all of this information helped alleviate our concerns and provided clear guidance on how to eliminate our student loan balan...ce.
