Building Your Hardship Case

Documenting financial hardship requires more than showing difficulty making payments. Courts and loan servicers need comprehensive evidence demonstrating that your situation makes repayment genuinely impossible while maintaining a basic standard of living. Our attorneys help clients compile medical documentation for health-related limitations, employment records showing income constraints, and household budgets proving the impossibility of meaningful loan payments. We transform your financial struggles into compelling legal arguments that courts understand and act upon.

Your Path to Affordable Payments

The Independence Law Firm combines legal expertise with genuine compassion for clients overwhelmed by student debt. We explore every avenue—from bankruptcy discharge to payment restructuring—to find solutions that fit your income reality. Our goal isn’t just temporary relief but lasting financial stability.
