Get clear on your student loans and what to do next.
Talk through your situation with student loan lawyer Stanley Tate. He’ll help you understand the options that fit and the next steps to take.
Every consultation is a video call with Stanley on Google Meet.
Not sure we handle your situation? Ask a question first
It’s free to message our team. Tell us what’s going on so we can help you figure out whether a consultation makes sense.
We help with federal and private student loans, including repayment problems, forgiveness, default, collections, cosigner issues, and student loan discharge in bankruptcy. The options depend on your loans and what has happened so far.
If you’re unsure whether we handle your situation, send our team a message before you pay for a consultation.
Time with Stanley to go through your situation, understand your options, and decide what to do next. You don’t need to know which program or legal approach to ask for before you book.
If the next step requires more work, Stanley can explain what that work involves and whether our firm can help.
The consultation is a paid video call with Stanley: $200 for 20 minutes or $450 for 50 minutes.
If you have a question about whether we handle your situation—or you’re not ready to book—you can message our team for free.
Choose 20 minutes for a focused question or help deciding where to start. Choose 50 minutes if you have several questions or a complicated history you want more time to discuss.
Both are with Stanley. If you’re unsure which to choose, ask our team first.
If your situation calls for further work and we can take it on, we’ll explain the scope and fee. You can then decide whether to hire us for that work. Further representation requires a separate written agreement.
Tell us what you’ve tried and what happened. If you’ve received a denial, conflicting answers, or no response, include that in your booking information. The letters and records you already have can help Stanley understand where things stand.
You don’t need to upload documents to choose a time. After booking, you’ll receive a short preparation form where you can explain the situation and upload relevant records, such as a loan statement, servicer or collection letter, or court papers.
If an important record is missing, tell us. If there’s a deadline, include the date.
Use “Request a time that fits” on the scheduling screen and include your deadline. Our team can check the available options. Sending a request does not reserve an earlier appointment.
Yes. Consultations take place by video, and we help people across the country and abroad. If you need representation in a particular court, we’ll confirm whether we can take on that work.
Days with open times are listed below.
Stanley takes consultations on a few set days each week. If none of the times above fit (especially if you're in another time zone), tell us what would work for you and we'll email you the open times that match. If your situation is urgent, say so in the note.
Check your email. We've sent the open times that fit your days and hours, and we'll write again if an earlier one opens.
Times are shown in Eastern time. Your confirmation email converts everything to your own time zone.
