We’ve Moved! Check Out Our New Address

February 6, 2019 | Adam S. Minsky, Esq. Articles Site & Practice News

After four years on Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, I’m thrilled to announce that the Law office of Adam S. Minsky has found a new home in downtown Boston. We’re now located near Post Office Square in the heart of Boston’s Financial District, right next to the historic Langham Hotel. Our new address is:

Law Office of Adam S. Minsky
265 Franklin Street, Suite 1702
Boston, MA 02110

The office is conveniently located near major transit lines. There are three nearby MBTA stations – Aquarium (Blue line), State (Blue and Orange lines), and South Station (Red, Silver, and commuter rail lines), and Government Center and North Station aren’t too far, either. There’s also parking available at the Post Office Square garage and the nearby Langham Hotel and 1 International Place.

I’m excited to start this new chapter!

Public Service Loan Forgiveness Victory for My Client

December 12, 2018 | Adam S. Minsky, Esq. Articles Loan Forgiveness Site & Practice News

I am thrilled to announce that my first client got her student loans forgiven through the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. It wasn’t necessarily easy, and it wasn’t necessarily quick, and she ultimately needed to request additional relief through a related program called Temporary Expanded Public Service Loan Forgiveness. But, it worked. She now has a $0 balance on her student loans, and she’s even getting refunded for some payments that she made. Incredible! I wrote about her experience in my latest article for Forbes – check it out here. And stay hopeful!

Student Loan Attorney Adam S. Minsky Named “Super Lawyer”

October 31, 2018 | Adam S. Minsky, Esq. Articles Site & Practice News

For the fourth year in a row, Attorney Adam S. Minsky has been named a Massachusetts Super Lawyer “Rising Star” for his ongoing work helping student loan borrowers. This recognition is only given to the top attorneys in the state, and it reflects Attorney Minsky’s work ethic, expertise, and dedication to helping people who have student loans.

Attorney Minsky has been sharing his expertise with many others this year, and has been invited to speak and conduct workshops across the country. He recently returned from Chicago where he taught hundreds of financial planners about student loan law at the annual Financial Planning Association (FPA) conference, and is scheduled to speak to other financial planners in New York and Wisconsin. And in the past month, Attorney Minsky has given student loan management presentations to employees at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, to AmeriCorps members via the Mass Service Alliance, and to legal services attorneys at the Boston Bar Association.

Attorney Minsky’s name will be published in Boston magazine and Super Lawyers magazine.

Celebrating 7 Years of Helping Student Loan Borrowers

March 23, 2018 | Adam S. Minsky, Esq. Articles Site & Practice News

Time flies when you’re having fun. This month marks seven years since I went out on a limb and opened my law office devoted to helping student loan borrowers. It’s been an incredible experience. I’ve met hundreds of wonderful people over the years, and I never imagined how impactful this work could be.

To celebrate, I thought it would be interesting to go back and compile some statistics. Here are some of the highlights that I found:

  • $16,153,922 in defaulted student loans resolved.
  • $8,460,396 in student loans completely eliminated through negotiated settlements, disputes, and discharges.
  • Over 1,000 borrowers set up on income-driven repayment plans and other paths to eventual loan forgiveness.
  • Over three dozen student loan collection lawsuits dismissed.

It’s been quite a ride – but the work continues. I’m looking forward to it.

Predatory Student Loan Relief Company is Sued

February 14, 2017 | Adam S. Minsky, Esq. Articles Cosigners Current Events Default Site & Practice News

Amy and Josh were just getting started, but they were already struggling. Amy had just completed nursing school, while Josh had just graduated from the police academy. They had two young children, and were struggling to keep up with massive private Navient student loan payments that they could barely afford.

That’s when they got a call from a company called “Consumer Protection Counsel” (CPC). CPC promised that if Amy and Josh simply stopped paying their private student loans – and started paying CPC instead – CPC’s team of experts and attorneys would protect them from Navient, and their private student loans would either be canceled or deemed uncollectible. Their credit histories would be protected and even repaired. All they had to do was sign a contract and pay a monthly fee. The deal seemed too good to be true, but Amy and Josh felt trapped by their student debt, and they didn’t know what else to do. After a series of high-pressure phone calls from CPC, they signed on the dotted line and began sending monthly payments to CPC – and stopped paying Navient.Read More
