Barbie Dawn Lieber

I found Barbie through this website, after browsing her innumerable, outstanding reviews. I was exasperated - I had already met with NO FEWER THAN FOUR bankruptcy lawyers, all of whom had flippantly told me that the best they could do for me would be a quick, 100% plan (for a Chapter 13 - the monthly... payments for which would be totally impossible!!), and all of whom wanted to charge me just for a consultation. Feeling defeated, I called Barbie at 4:55pm on a Friday... she answered, and spent a full 30 minutes with me on the phone, assuring me that "we could do much better." She met me the following Monday, and - simply - changed my life. We spent two hours going over my entire financial history and habits... Barbie is not only a bankruptcy lawyer, she is a FINANCIAL ADVISOR. She suggested I make small changes that, I'm certain, will have profound, long-lasting effects on my financial well-being. I walked out of that meeting feeling, for the first time in a full year, FREE of concern and worry: she made me feel safe and proud of the decision I was about to make. The following six months, Barbie stayed in touch with me, guiding my bankruptcy process until our 341 meeting. She was with me throughout the entire meeting, arguing for the best, most reasonable plan for me, despite the trustee's attempts to complicate certain issues. She was resolute and determined to fight for my complete rights as a debtor, and put forth a Chap 13 plan that would SUCCEED. Most importantly, she was thorough, enthusiastic, and steadfast in her work. SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES AND LOVES HER CLIENTS. Months later, at the confirmation hearing, we walked in, and walked out - my plan was confirmed by the trustee, no questions asked. Barbie had obviously done her homework, prepared my case, and knew exactly how to have it confirmed, with no further effort on my part. We were thrilled - Barbie, with tears in her eyes, hugged me and congratulated ME on our success. I feel blessed to have her in my life. I look forward to checking in with her over the next five years, during the entire Chapter 13 process. She is warm, caring, and delightful. There is NO OTHER bankruptcy lawyer in New York to even CONSIDER... CALL HER NOW!!!

Due to unemployment and several years of working at a reduced income I was overwhelmed with debt ranging from credit cards, student loans, taxes, wage garnishment, etc. Deciding to file Bankruptcy was one of the most stressful but necessary decision. I contacted several attorneys but didn't feel comf...ortable until I spoke to Barbie. Our initial phone consultation was great, Barbie took the time to listen and understand my financial situation. She explained the entire process in full detail from day one holding my hand every step along the way. She always kept an open line of communication and was very meticulous. Barbie made such a painstaking decision completely stress free. Approx. one month after filing was the 341 meeting. At meeting I was calm and relieved to have Barbie by my side. There were other people at the meeting that were scammed by their so called attorneys, attorneys that didn't show up leaving their client in complete limbo. (Very sad) The 341 meeting went very well, lasted about 10-15mins. Thanks to Barbie and her hard work I now have a fresh start and sleep much better at night. Very Happy with the outcome and highly recommend her.

I had exhausted my savings to the point where I knew, within a month's time, I would be unable to meet my monthly credit card payments. I had never been late in meeting any of my financial obligations and was very nervous and truly beside myself. I was terrified that I might lose my home. I began ...searching for ways to find help on the internet. Luckily, I found this website, which contained information about bankruptcy, and life stories from other people who were also wrestling with debt. It was here that I found Barbie Lieber. After reading so many good reviews about Barbie's skill and approachability, I visited her website and saw that Barbie offered a free consultation. I wrote to her and explained my situation. I worried tremendously before sending the email, but ultimately I learned that reaching out to Barbie was the best step I could have taken. Barbie is very professional and she is also a non-judgmental person. Barbie replied to me that same day, and subsequently, on the following day, we spoke and she began gathering my information. My salary is above the median stated for filing a Chapter 7, but after deducting expenses, Barbie was convinced that bankruptcy was not only the best way for me to find relief, but that I might qualify for a Chapter 7 filing. After bringing all the necessary documentation to Barbie to complete the median test to her satisfaction, I turned out to have a negative monthly balance. And, after meeting with Barbie, I also felt confident that if there were any other option for me to find a way out of trouble, Barbie would have steered me in a direction other than bankruptcy. Ultimately, after completing the documents, Barbie determined that she would file for relief for me under Chapter 7. Throughout the process, Barbie was always accessible by email and by phone. Barbie helped me face my 341 meeting. And, after my 341 meeting, Barbie guided me through gathering the additional documentation requested by the Trustee. Barbie followed up promptly providing the requested documents, and then concisely provided additional information when it was requested. I believe that Barbie would have stood beside me regardless of the outcome and continued to assist me had I needed to go another route after my initial filing. Ultimately, I was fortunate to have been granted a discharge under Chapter 7. I was also permitted to keep my home. I am truly grateful for this second opportunity to manage my financial life.

I’m just writing to thank you Mrs. Barbie, not for just being a great lawyer with a great law firm, but also for being an incredible human being. Due to a huge amount of debt over the past 10 years and my wages was being garnished for the past 2 years. Last summer I discovered I have Pancreatic Canc...er and while going thru the rigors of surgery and chemotherapy and hoping for the best thru my recovery. The IRS sends me a letter informing me that they are going to garnish all my wages for everything except $179 per week, and put a lien on and/or reposes everything that I worked for. Once my chemotherapy sessions ended and I was strong enough to get out of bed without help I started searching the internet for several bankruptcy lawyers. I called several and none of them wanted deal with me due to the complexity of my case. So I set up the free consultation and went in to see Mrs. Barbie with all of my paper work. Even after she saw how messy my situation she decided to take on my case anyway. In the past I hired a tax firm name “J.K. Harris” to handle my case and not only did they rip me off for $3500, they made my situation 100 times worst. Oh, did I mention that they are banded from operating in several states and currently they have a class action law suit pending against them. Mrs. Barbie after accepting my case she had advised me that my options were limited but the only way that I could recover from financial ruin is to file for bankruptcy. and this is the compassionate part, once I explained my physical and financial situation to her in great detail, she stream lined an affordable package for me and she even allowed me to make payments for the service she rendered, and like most business transactions there was cost overrun, she even absorbed those cost knowing that I couldn’t afford to pay anymore. (During that time I was only receiving $160 per week from disability). To this day she still calls and sends emails to check up on my recovery progress. I thank her so much for being such a caring, empathic and thoughtful person. I could have never done it if it wasn’t for her help.

I contemplated filing for bankruptcy for at least a year. I tried to come up with ways to see how to pay my bills, after the feeling of drowning in debt overcame me, I searched online for a bankruptcy lawyer. A bunch of attorneys emailed me back, I met with Mrs.Lieber mainly because she was so engagi...ng on the phone. She called me within 24 hours of reading my email. She gave me a quick phone consultation and arranged a time for me to come in and told me what to come in with. I gathered my materials and was a nervous wreck on my way to her office. She made me feel very comfortable and although i was nervous and scared, I left there thinking I made the right choice and picked the right person to help me through this scary process. I met with her two times before my bankruptcy meeting. Any time I had a question I emailed or called her and within an hour I had a reply from her. She was very attentive and caring. I didnt have to bring anything other then my ID to the final meeting. As I waited in the waiting room I very quickly noticed that the clients and attorneys were meeting for the very first time. The clients had stacks of paperwork to fish through and were very quickly going over materials and questions. I realized again that I made the right choice. She briefed me again on what they will be asking me, never did I feel under prepared while I was waiting. I know I made the right choice and I will gladly and confidently refer her to anyone who is looking for representation. She made this already scary process seem like a breeze.
