At LSS Law, a Florida student debt lawyer at our law firm will work with individuals who are facing financial struggles every day. We understand that student loan debt is overwhelming and stressful for many people. If you are one of them, let us help.
Our student loan debt attorneys in Miami provide you with a comprehensive and personalized analysis of your federal and/or state student loan portfolio to determine eligibility for administrative discharge, loan cancellation or forgiveness, deferment, forbearance, rehabilitation, consolidation, and/or repayment. If you have private student loans, we provide you with the same analysis, to determine all of your available options, including proactive or reactive settlement, eligibility for cancellation or bankruptcy discharge, and availability of defenses.
If you work with our Miami student loan debt lawyers, we discuss all of these options with you and we provide full implementation of the best strategy moving forward, including assistance with the completion of forms and applications for forbearance, deferment, settlement, rehabilitation, consolidation and/or repayment. We also provide direct representation in communications with collection agencies, settlement negotiations, repayment plan negotiations, prevention or elimination of administrative wage garnishments, social security offsets, tax refund intercepts and other collection activity, including representation in lawsuits brought by student loan lenders.

If you are unable to pay your student loans, especially in a situation of a short-term or temporary financial setback, a deferment or forbearance allows you to postpone your loan payments for a period of time. When a federal student loan is deferred, the government pays interest on subsidized loans. If the loan is in forbearance, the borrower (you) pay the interest on the loan.
If you have a federal student loan and are struggling to remain current on your payments, we can assist you with formulating a repayment plan that is manageable and beneficial to you.
The types of income-driven repayment plans that we can help you with include:
IBR, ICR, PAYE and REPAYE are plans that allow you to make payments for a set number of years, and at the end of your payment term, you obtain loan forgiveness for the remaining balance. There is also a federal student loan forgiveness program that allows a qualified public servant to make payments for a shorter term and obtain loan forgiveness at the end of the term with no adverse tax consequences.
Repayment plans are also sometimes available for private student loans, depending on the lender. We can review the terms of your contract with your private student loan lender and fully explain all of your available options.
It is important to seek our help before your student loan goes into default. However, if this is not possible, there are still options available.
Options after your student loan has defaulted:
