Student Loan Debt Lawyer in Jupiter, FL
As of 2024, people across the United States owe $1.7 trillion in student loan debt. This staggering number points to an unfortunate reality: any in our country have student debt, and for some, the burden of loan payments is stifling.
Are you overwhelmed by student debt and feel there is no way out? Do not despair. There are ways to get relief, and our attorney at Gort Law can help you pursue them. While you might have heard that student loans cannot be discharged through bankruptcy, this is not entirely true. When loan payments cause “undue hardship,” bankruptcy may be a viable relief option.

To learn more, contact Gort Law to schedule a free consultation. We are able to conduct these meetings virtually, making it convenient to start with us.

How Gort Law Can Help You
To help you get relief, our attorney and supporting team can assist with the following:
Bankruptcy
As noted above, discharging student loans through bankruptcy is generally not an option. However, there are exceptions. Before seeking bankruptcy, consult an attorney like ours to determine the viability of your case and the steps to take to obtain relief.
Negotiation with Creditors
Have your loans gone into default? Are you facing collection actions? Our attorney can negotiate with creditors to potentially reduce or eliminate your debt burden.
Defense Against Lawsuits
If you have been sued by your lender or a collection agency, our Jupiter student loan lawyer can craft a defense strategy to protect your rights and pursue your interests.
Identifying Fraudulent Practices
Our attorney can carefully evaluate your situation to determine whether you are eligible for a “borrower defense to repayment discharge.” This may be the case if you received a loan to attend a school that engaged in fraud or otherwise misled you.
Evaluating Repayment Plans
Our attorney can also review your current repayment plans and determine if there are better options available to make your loan payments manageable.
