Attorney Adam S. Minsky has been named a Massachusetts Super Lawyer “Rising Star” for 2015. This distinction is only awarded to the top 2.5% of attorneys in the state, and reflects Attorney Minsky’s groundbreaking work in student loan law during the past several years. His name will be published in Super Lawyers magazine and Boston magazine in November.

I am thrilled to be the lead presenter tomorrow at the National Consumer Law Center’s webinar, “Federal Student Loan Repayment Options and Default Resolution.”
Tune in on Wednesday, June 24 at 2:00pm for an overview of options available to borrowers to repay their federal student loans and get out of default. The webinar is FREE and open to the public.
I am thrilled to be a featured panelist next week at the Boston Bar Association’s seminar, “Student Loan Debt and Bankruptcy: Addressing the Problem and Finding Solutions.”
The program will be held at the Boston Bar Association on Friday, April 10. It will explore the scope and magnitude of the looming student loan debt crisis, and I’ll be discussing administrative avenues of relief for borrowers outside of the Bankruptcy Code.
Speaking of the student loan debt crisis, the Corinthian College student loan “debt strike” has been getting increasing national media attention. Check out my recent interviews with The Washington Post and Vice.com.
I am thrilled to announce the publication of my next book, “The Student Loan Guide for Parents and Cosigners,” now available in paperback and Kindle formats.
As many of you might know, student loan debt doesn’t just impact students. Each year, parents take out millions of dollars in Parent PLUS loans to finance their child’s college education. And millions of relatives, spouses, friends, and acquaintances of students cosign private student loans. Federal Parent PLUS loans and cosigned private student loans are very different from other types of student loan debt, and parents and cosigners often do not fully understand their rights or their options, especially when things go wrong. And there are minimal resources out there to help them.
That’s why I wrote this book.
When I first started my student loan law practice, I thought that all of my clients would be recent graduates in their 20’s or 30’s, trying to understand and navigate their student loan repayment. But at this point, I estimate that over one third of my clients at any given time are parents and cosigners. To me, this says a lot about the student debt crisis.
I hope this book will be helpful to some people, and I hope some of you will take the time to read it.
Big news here at the Law Office of Adam S. Minsky. To better serve my clients, I’ve moved to a new office location in downtown Boston. Please take note of my new office address. I’m now located about halfway between Haymarket Station and North Station, very near Government Center, the West End, and the North End of Boston.
And, as you can see, I’ve also had my website completely rebuilt from the ground up! Please take some time and explore the new site and design.
More big news is coming soon, so stay tuned…
