It has been a pleasure working with Barbie. Not only is she smart, poised and great at what she does, but she is also kind and candid in her efforts to provide you top notch legal representation. The minute I met her I knew I was in good hands - I immediately had one less thing to worry about. Her ...tenacity, professionalism and work ethic really sum up the great service she'll look to provide all her clients with no exception. Thanks again Barbie - really appreciate all your efforts in helping me during my bankruptcy filing process!

I was referred to Barbie Lieber by my tax accountant after it became clear that I would not be able to come out from under life events that had left my finances in a shambles. Bankruptcy was not something that I was comfortable with and I had put off the inevitable much longer than I should have. Bar...bie took my call immediately and said that she would make time to meet with me the next day. Within an hour of our initial phone call she'd sent me an email recapping all that we had discussed and listing the paperwork that she needed me to bring along to our scheduled appointment. Her office is very conveniently located right across the street from Grand Central Station. Barbie was on time and on point. We sat together and went through all of my paperwork piece by piece. Her brilliant mind is so quick and with her vast knowledge of the bankruptcy arena she knows exactly what is needed and what is extraneous. She gets right to the meat of the matter, all the while advising you on what applies to your particular situation. Given my extreme financial straits, she worked with me on a payment plan for the fees and advised me how to track my expenses in the months leading up to filing. After assessing a true and in depth overview of my finances, she was very open with me about what options were available to me and how I should proceed. We set upon a plan and over the next six months she would check in with me from time to time just to make sure everything was still on track and that I was doing all that she had advised. She knows her stuff inside and out and shares her expertise with such a generosity of heart that you feel more like family than just another client, her tenacity and dedication is that strong. Barbie Lieber takes a vested interest in you, giving life advice and good counsel along the way. Just as an example, when I lost my job, she encouraged me to contact my employer to get continued insurance for another month, which I did and got!!! She also encouraged me to apply for food stamps which was a great help and she has even given me suggestions on how to earn money while I am looking for permanent employment. On the day of the final hearing I felt very blessed to have her in my corner. She was literally sitting by my side the entire time, keeping me calm and assuring me everything was going to be alright. The time she spent prepping me the day before was invaluable. While I was always impressed and appreciative of Ms. Lieber's talents, witnessing all of the other unfortunate souls that were there for the same purpose, but sadly, unrepresented or worse, represented badly, my gratitude grew ten-fold. Having Barbie walk me through the process with such confidence and understanding was tantamount to my ultimately positive outcome. I highly recommend Barbie Lieber, a wonderful New York City Bankruptcy Attorney! She is honest, has integrity and knows the law.

I searched the web and was happy to have found Barbie. She was walking out of her office to head home when I first called her and instead of telling me "to call back tomorrow, she's done for the day", she took my call and heard me out. I was the one who had to cut the call short and she told me to ...call her back in an hour if I was able to and she would finish hearing me out at her home, or I can call her back the next day. I chose to call her an hour later and she picked up and finished consulting with me. She was very professional, informative, confident, affordable, sympathetic, reassuring and seemed very experienced and knowledgable. After speaking with a few other lawyers before and after her, I felt most comfortable and confident in her so I went ahead and retained her. She immediately sent me an email detailing everything she needed from me, even before I was able to meet and pay her, so we can quicken the process because she knew my urgency in getting filed as soon as possible. My case was not as simple over the phone when I was answering her questions and it got less simple when I met her in person and started going over all he paper work. The possibility of a Chapter 13 briefly came up but she did not waiver and at no point did she make me feel that she can't get me the Chapter 7 I wanted. Instead she reassured me that she can still get me approved for a Ch. 7. She flied me the same day I met her, as she said she would and stopped my garnishment immediately to where I even received a refund on my most recent payment. We met one more time at her office before the 341 meeting with the trustee and she did a role play of the possible questions the trustee might ask ask me. Then the morning of the actual 341 meeting, she met me early and told me about the trustee hearing my case once she saw who was hearing my case and reassured me even more that as long as I answered the questions we went over the other day and again that morning, that I will be approved without much doubt. She sat right next to me during the hearing and I literally thought I was still role playing with Barbie because all the questions I had to answer I already heard from Barbie. Actually fewer questions were asked and not as detailed as Barbie's so I guess I was over prepared which is never a bad thing. I felt ready for any question. It went so fast that I didn't even know we were done and Barbie was more excited than me after. I thought we had more to go lol so didn't get excited until I directly said to her "So hold up' that's it? No other hearing or anything?". She said unless a creditor disputes it, which she has never seen her 25 plus years, it's over and just wait for the final order. While sitting outside waiting for a form she had to fill out, she knew another lawyer that was there and they began chatting alil about my case and luckily for me, Macey & Aleman's Case came up in the convo. He just happened to be on that case and at both our requests, gave Barbie information about the case and which court is handling it so f I chose to, I can try and recoup my fees paid to them if any monies is ceased from them. The lawyer said that the Courts were going after Macey and didn't approve the bankruptcy. Barbie then informed me of what I had to do to get my name on the claims list and offered to help me for a very small fee. I agreed and she sent me a detailed email with instructions on what to do, attached with the court form I had to file and even a sample Macey claim from another claim filed. It was easy as can be thanks to her. My official discharge paper came in the mail about 3 weeks ago. Barbie was heaven sent and would most definitely recommend her to anybody I know.

My 20's were a turbulent time and I made many bad decisions; one of those decisions was neglecting to pay my student loan. A $28,000 judgement was filed against me and my elderly mother, who co-signed the loan. Wage garnishment letters were being sent to my employer and I feared my bank account would... be frozen. Not knowing where to turn and unable to come up with the money to pay the judgement, I was finally desperate enough to confront the issue. I spoke with several lawyers who spoke fast and asked for large retainers up front. Not comfortable with the consultations I had received up to that point, I read the reviews for Barbie on this site and decided to give her a call. I was nervous and did not know what to expect but her personality and professionalism put me at ease. Rather than try to bedazzle me with legalese or stories of being golfing buddies with my creditors, she offered clear explanations and pragmatic solutions that worked within my current financial parameters. After discussing various options, Barbie was able to negotiate a settlement for less than one-third of what I owed and I was able to save up and borrow enough to pay the settlement. I can not describe the sense of relief that I felt when I sent the final payment or imagine trying to settle this debt without a lawyer as adept as her. I am now on the way to financial "recovery" am grateful to Barbie for her help. To anyone reading this who feels like there's no way out from underneath the burden of their debt, pick up the phone and give yourself a chance. The problem won't go away on its own and you don't have to face it alone. Finding a good lawyer that will fight for you is a great first step and Barbie is an exceptional candidate. Give her a call.

If you are in need of expert legal financial assistance, do not go any further!! Aside from being a very comforting person for the client to communicate with , on the legal end she is an extremely proficient attorney, sharp as a tack, a firm, tough negotiator and tireless worker. Once retained, Ms.... Lieber kept me apprised constantly as to the status of my action and obtained a settlement in a few days that I am still amazed she was able to achieve. Take my advise, if you want expert legal representation, confident that your best interests are being considered at all times, Ms. Lieber is the attorney to use.
