From Attorney
Peter Lown of the Georgia Law Firm of Harrington & Lown:
"Folks:
I have been continuing my investigation and
research on the evolving situation with Silver
State post bankruptcy. In this vein, I have
reviewed and spoken to two other law firms
stepping up to represent former Silver State
students, the Brown, Dean law firm in Texas and
the Berger law firm in California. At this
point I feel you will be better represented by
one of the other firms and it is my
recommendation that you all sign-up with the
Berger Law firm without delay. I have reviewed
Mr. Berger’s qualifications and discussed his
litigation plan with him. I believe Mr. Berger
is eminently qualified to handle this
litigation and he has now signed up over 400
other students. There is considerable strength
in numbers, and Mr. Berger has already made a
considerable investment in the case. I also met
two of his attorneys at the bankruptcy 341
hearing and they were very aggressive and on
target in their questioning. I will be
refunding any remaining trust funds and I plan
to have the meeting with you scheduled for
April 6th at the usual location in Casa Grande.

From Michael Jay
Berger in an email to the STL Blogsite:
It's true. As of last night, in
a telephone conference with students
from Atlanta, New York and Tulsa, I extended
the deadline for people to sign up with us to
April 1, 2008. We are still finding former
SSH students that have either just heard about
us for the first time or have not heard about
us at all. In addition, several people have
told us that they need more time to raise the
$800.00. We do not want to exclude these
people. Although the 341(a) hearing is set for
March 10, we anticipate that we will not
actually file any lawsuit against the banks
until April. We will begin our negotiations
with the banks based on the clients that we
already have.
Sincerely,
Michael Berger

From Michael Jay
Berger and his associates
A few points from the 2h15m teleconference with ATL
- Michael Berger has just extended the
hard deadline to retain his firm to April 1st because there are
still students finding out that there is a support system set up.
- Berger & Assoc. is charging $800 as a
one-time fee. No additional charges will be added to your account --
by contract. Co-signers will be linked together with their student
for a one-unit $800 fee.
- AES is giving an automatic 90-day
deferment on all loans because they were being inundated by calls
from students. We are entitled to four (4) six-month deferments per
our contracts. This is merely an initial deferment.
- DO NOT accept a "Forgiveness" of your
student loans. If you agree to a forgiveness, you may be issued a
1099-C (C stands for Cancellation of Debt) for the amount of the
forgiveness and you may have to pay state and federal income taxes
on the amount.
- Students are receiving mail from
Attorney McPherson. She is a Jerry Airola attorney. She is offering
to file paperwork for students for free. She
is filing the paperwork against the court case that is linked to a
Silver State shell company that has no assets -- not the case
against the Jerry Airola big money Silver State court case. DO NOT
use her services. She is filing the paperwork in the wrong court.
