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.

Mr Cohen was a big help

Mr Cohen provided extremely helpful advice regarding our options to pay back our student loans given that we are not earning a taxable salary in the USA. He did this in a friendly and personable way. An overall great experience.

Good Information

I had a terrific conversation with Joshua that was very informative and helped me understand my situation regarding my loans. He clearly has a thorough understanding of the subject and was able to explain possible solutions. Highly recommend.

Clear and Concise

Attorney Cohen was very good at explaining my situation and options in an easy to understand way. He was knowledgeable, professional, and non-judgemental which I really appreciated. I was nervous about sharing my financial details prior to our talk but now I am really glad I did.

Very professional and knowledgeable.

After speaking to Mr. Cohen, I have felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. He laid out a roadmap for addressing my student loan debt. He discussed all possible avenues in moving forward and the pros/cons of each decision.
