I have known Barbie almost 20 years. We met at Tenzer Greenblatt, LLP (now known as Blank Rome LLP). I witnessed her successfully handle complex bankruptcies, overcoming all obstacles. Barbie is highly knowledgeable, intelligent, personable, efficient, detail oriented and creative. I often refer bankruptcy, litigation and real estate matters to her because she is the attorney outside my firm that I trust the most. Her services are of an A+ rating, but with very reasonable rates. I always get excellent feedback from the people that I have referred to her. Barbie represents each client as if it were her one and only or a close relative. Since Barbie is also a litigator, she is able to provide additional protection to her bankruptcy and real estate clients, foreseeing and resolving any potential issues. She is a “lawyer’s lawyer,” promptly responding to any inquiries I have concerning litigation, debt/bankruptcy and employment related matters. – G. Helfgott, Esq.

Barbie is an extremely knowledgeable attorney. She's a true "lawyer's lawyer". She's always willing to assist a fellow attorney and bounce ideas and thoughts off of. She has been extremely helpful in helping to come up with solutions to unique issues in bankruptcy cases. I'm glad she's always around when I need another brain to pick.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I am a bankruptcy attorney in York, PA and have been for 20 years. I had a person contact me who lives in Brooklyn NY and who needed advice on an eviction and bankruptcy. Barbie was extremely helpful, thorough, and also quite frank about what she could and could not do to help my client. She returned my call quickly and gave me the information I needed so I could point my client in the right direction about where to get the help she needed. She then followed everything up with an email shortly thereafter.

I am pleased to endorse Ms. Lieber. I do not know her personally, have never spoken with her. My knowledge of her comes from reading her answers to questions on Avvo that I review and/or answer and it is very clear that 1) she knows the law; 2) enjoys explaining things, by giving complete answers, and then after answering the question goes on to give even more information that goes beyond the question; and 3) cares about the best interests of her clients, which is telling by how she writes her responsees, in plain English and not legal mumbo-jumbo. Most lawyers know the rules and laws sufficiently to function, it is clear to me that Ms. Lieber makes the effort to communicate with her clients and explain things so they understand the situation.
Phillip Mahony, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Feb 12, 2016

I endorse this lawyer. I have followed Ms. Lieber's responses on Avvo and it is clear to me that she is willing to take the extra time needed to completely answer the question. She has the ability to respond so the lay person can understand while showing that she understands bankruptcy law and how it applies to the problems people have in the real world.
Dorothy Bunce, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Apr 10, 2015

Many bankruptcy attorneys lack one important characteristic - either they have no communication skills or they are lack a scholarly understanding of the law. Fortunately, Barbie Dawn Lieber is the rare exception, having both a great ability to explain complicated issues to those who don't have advanced law degrees, while demonstrating the brain power of the best in our profession. It is my great pleasure to endorse Ms Lieber.

I endorse this lawyer. Why? Because having seen many many attorneys replies on AVVO, some take the time to fully and completely answer a question and go beyond .
