Barbie Dawn Lieber

Barbie Lieber was excellent. Because I own a business, my corporate attorney advised me to find a very good bankruptcy attorney if I wanted to keep my business. And I found one. Yes, my case was more complicated than most, but even some of the simple cases were not discharged because of an incompet...ent attorney. The trustee was several hours behind schedule the day of my hearing so I heard many cases. Barbie's attention to detail and thorough understanding of the process got me my discharge, and I was able to keep my business I interveiwed at least 6 attorneys before choosing Barbie. Some of the attorney's gave me information that I knew was inaccurate (there are some very bad bankruptcy attorneys out there). Two attorneys told be to sell my business before I filed becuase it would be taken from me. However, when I called Barbie, she discussed in length (about 20 minutes) over the phone of how she could get me through the process. She prepared my case so well, the trustee only asked one question, then granted my discharge without me having to surrender my company. The trustee told me that Barbie did an excellent job. Of the 20-30 cases I heard prior to my case being called, it was the only compliment I heard the trustee give any attorney. Several cases were not discharged because the attorney did not complete all the necessary forms or completed them inaccurately. Barbie is so thorough that she called me over the weekend a couple of times to stategize for the 341 meeting. She was thinking of all the questions that could have been asked of me so I would be prepared. You don't want to sound unsure of yourself in front of the trustee. But because she prepared all the documents so thoroughly, the trustee only asked my one simple question. My bankruptcy was mostly because of personal guarantees on business debt so my company was being sued as well. Barbie gave me excellent advice on how to repsond to these suits without even charging me. That is how much she will go above and beyond for her clients.

Dear Barbie: I'm sorry I took so long to write this, it's well overdue! I didn't know where to start, I've re-written this several time because I have so much to say. I've been a little overwhelmed by all you have done and I'm so grateful to you for helping me get my life back. Thank you!! I'...ve been bragging about you to my friends and co-workers. I would not hesitate even for a second recommending you to anyone I come across in the same situation I was in. Filing Chapter 7, initially a daunting task, was actually a breeze, you helped me do this quickly and I was so happy that you were there with me every step of the way until the end. Thank you for taking the time and treating me like a person. You are so kind and really care about your clients. We are not a faceless numbers, you know this and treated me like a human being. After just one conversation you remembered everything about me and my family, that only comes with being attentive and sensitive to each individual situation. You put me and my family at ease during this difficult time and knowing that someone cared about my situation made filing easier. Your intelligent and diligent devotion not only to your profession, but to your clients, have left me speechless. You have an uncanny ability to sort through an issue quickly and verbalize it in lay speak, so even I could understand. When I came to you, my wages were about to be garnished. I was beside myself and didn’t know where to turn. You immediately prioritized my matter and prepared the petition and schedules immediately to prevent the garnishment from occurring. The speed in which you did this just blew me away! You then also took immediate actions after the bankruptcy to ensure that my wages were not garnished, clarifying matters with my employer, this was also above and beyond. There truly was a light at the end of the tunnel, I'm glad I held out and found you. Gratefully, -Miguel H.

Barbie Lieber was referred to me by a family member. By the time i contacted Barbie, i was drowning in debt, felt like a failure and was almost too embarrassed to call her. However, she made me feel at ease from the initial telephone conversation to the last. She treated me with respect, understandi...ng of my situation and worked with me every step of the way. She prepped me before every meeting and made sure i understood the process. We communicated regularly via email. During the 341 meeting i was very nervous yet Barbie didn't leave my side and explained everything that was going on. Barbie is knowledgeable and up to date on new laws that benefited me during the filing process. I am very thankful that i made that call and that now i am well on my way to becoming debt free and getting my life back on track

I had never filed for Bankruptcy before and was extremely nervous about initiating such a life changing process. Then I found Barbie Lieber and was so thankful for her consistent and thorough assistance and support throughout my bankruptcy filing process. This decision was one of the most difficult o...nes I have ever had to make but with her expertise and guidance it ended up being a beneficial move for me and alleviated much stress in my overwhelming life. I felt so prepared at the hearing and everything went so smoothly. Now I can start over and have hope for a prosperous future. I would reccomend Mrs. Lieber without reservation to anyone needing advise or counsel for the bankruptcy process.

Concerned about my debt this past summer, I decided to go to a cookie cutter bankruptcy law firm for help. After a 30 minutes meeting, I decided to go with their services. After concerns that I would just be treated as a number and not a person by this law firm and upon the advice of a friend of ...mine, I went looking again for a different attorney. That is when I located Barbie. During my call with her, I was impressed immediately by her professionalism and care. Her tone of voice was calm and assuring. When the call was completed, I knew in my heart that I located the right attorney. Barbie expertly guided me through every phase of my case, always on top of every single detail. She made me appreciate that my case was not so simple as I was both an employee and also had previously operated a business on the side. I also had issues with a car. Barbie helped me through and also emphasized the need for me to become extremely organized, directing me to prepare certain documentation that was critical to my 341 meeting. At my 341 meeting, she was there next to me preparing me more and more while listening to other people like me and using the samples to ask me more questions until we went in front of the trustee. Because Barbie thoroughly prepared me, I was not surprised by any of the trustee's questions. Towards the end came a very important question relating to my side business. When I began to answer, Barbie very professionally interrupted and told the trustee how that question was already answered and that the documents were there to prove it. Barbie promptly provided the documentation to the trustee. (As I indicated above, , Barbie had the foresight at our initial meeting to have me prepare this documetation that she knew might become critical at the 341 meeting.) Soon after that no more questions were asked and the case was closed. I love this lady. She cares so much for her clients. She stayed with me every minute even the night before the 341 meeting when she called me to review the questions while she was walking her dogs. She is trustworthy and always available. Thank you Barbie, I owe you a big night at the opera like I promised!! Best, Jerry
