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.

Worth the Time and Money
I retained Jay for questions regarding my student loan. He was on time for our scheduled phone conference. At the beginning, Jay rehashed his impressions on how I got into the position I was in. That did not help. When the consultation is set up you pay for either 30 minutes, or an hour. I paid ...

Replied last May 21, 2018I'm glad I was able to give you the advice you needed. As to revisiting past events, I find it useful because it helps me understand the situation more completely.
