About Jay
Biography
I’m a student loan lawyer who has helped thousands of federal and private student loan borrowers lower their payments, negotiate settlements, get out of default, and qualify for loan forgiveness programs. My practice includes defending student loan lawsuits filed by companies such as Navient and National Collegiate Student Loan Trust. In addition, I’ve represented thousands of individuals and families in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases.
I’ve spoken at events held by the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, National Association of Consumer Advocates, and bar associations around the country. National news outlets regularly look to me for my insights on student loans and consumer debt issues.
I’m licensed to practice law in New York and California and advise student loan borrowers nationwide.

I spoke with Jay about my husband's student debt. He is extremely knowledgeable not only of the law, but also tax and financial elements that came into play as well. I had a baseline level of knowledge going into the call, and rather than dumbing things down or explaining concepts I already underst...

Quick and on Point!
By the time I spoke with Jay I had already talked to another lawyer so I was pretty well informed. Jay helped me get pointed in the right direction and listened to what i was saying. He was very helpful and answered all of my questions regarding student loans and what to do with them! Very helpful.
