Legal Touch Borrower Defense was originally founded by Attorney Ryan Duffy and Title IV services expert Aaron Hansome. As an attorney-assisted company for over a year, we developed a process grounded in legal best practices. By learning to research and cite actual case law, regulatory findings, and judicial rulings, we demonstrate systemic abuse by predatory institutions and highlight precedents where students have successfully fought back against similar misconduct.
Our approach references rulings and evidence from key regulatory bodies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has pursued major settlements against predatory schools such as the University of Phoenix ($191 million) and DeVry University ($100 million). In addition, state Attorneys General and other agencies, including the Department of Education, have held institutions accountable for widespread abuse. By utilizing tools like PACER and Google Scholar, we strengthen each claim with the best available evidence, ensuring our clients’ cases are both robust and impactful.
We are proud to offer a discharge guarantee: if we are unable to secure a discharge for our clients, we provide a full refund. To date, for every claim that has been adjudicated, we have maintained a 100% success rate, delivering the financial relief our clients deserve.
While Attorney Duffy has stepped away, leaving Aaron to buy out his share, Legal Touch continues to leverage legal expertise and uphold the rigorous standards that have brought success to our clients. At Legal Touch, we empower borrowers to fight back against predatory lending practices, with a proven process designed to secure justice and financial relief.
