OVERVIEW

There are 1.5 trillion dollars in outstanding student loans in the United States that affect 40 million Americans. As attorneys, we need to have a basic knowledge of how to assist our clients in the handling of this type of debt and best be able to explain options. The student loan problem is often very confusing and misunderstood by the student loan borrower as well as the public.

Student loans can negatively impact retirement, savings, job opportunities and employment options.
