Not a fan of writing reviews but Barbie Lieber is simply the best

I met Barbie a month ago when I started to face some legal trouble and my assets were frozen. Despite having numerous other conflicting commitments Barbie still provided me with the time and understanding to help me get through my case. I had my 341 meeting yesterday and felt very well prepared... for what I was to face owing mainly to the intricate preparation and thinking that Barbie does for each of her clients. Hopefully I will never ever need her services again one but without hesitation I would reach out to Barbie should there be a need. Although I am not entirely out of the woods yet (still need to wait 60days for discharge) I feel like I am on my way to a fresh start.

Barbie is the Best!!!

Barbie is the BEST! I'd recently fallen on hard times and realized I could no longer afford my everyday expenses because all my money was going to past debt and collections. After setting up a meeting with a different attorney who forgot I was coming on the day and time we scheduled, I searched the... net for another, I could meet with that day; of course I was unsuccessful. In the process I did come across Barbie who took the time to discuss at length the process of bankruptcy and how to move forward. Although she was unable to meet with me that day we made an appointment for the following day and the rest is history! She was informative, and extremely personable...Not only did she help me with my bankruptcy process from point A to Z but she also gave me real life tips for saving money and getting myself back on track financially. She gave budget friendly cooking advice as well as tips for creating extra income. I will say she was a little more expensive then some of the other attorney's I had researched but she was well worth every penny and my peace of mind is priceless! I would recommend her hands down to anyone! Thank You again Barbie! You're the Best!

Relief Beyond Belief! A fresh start

When I first called Barbie I was pulled in by her attentiveness. I had called several firms to get consultations because I knew that my case was a very difficult one. The attorneys at the other firms were very short and the conversations seemed very rushed. Barbie answered and immediately began to as...sess my situation asking the right questions and letting me know exactly what I was up against. I had called another firm and the cost was far cheaper but I chose Barbie because of her approach. I am a single mother of two, currently renting an apartment. I had an income of $92,000 dollars which was well above the median for a family of three. However I was in over $45,000 worth of debt and it had become extremely overwhelming. I would have under any other circumstances been granted a chapter 13. Barbie worked eagerly with me walking me through every step, keeping me well informed. She is extremely knowledgeable. I was granted a chapter 7. What a relief! Thanks for everything Barbie!

Extremely caring and compassionate. Barbie never gives up!

After realizing that bankruptcy was my last option, I did some research online and stumbled upon Barbie Lieber. There was not a single bad review about her and so I called immediately. Lo and behold, it was Barbie who answered my call. Just on that initial call, Barbie spent 45 minutes with me, heari...ng out my situation. We made an appointment to meet a few weeks later. It was smooth sailing from the very beginning. She was very sympathetic and kept me informed throughout the whole process. She advised me that even though I can file immediately, I should wait a couple more months so that all my credit card debt could be discharged. She was always available to answer any and all questions. She even called me on a SUNDAY! I mean who does that? She always answered emails instantly; if she thought answering via email wasn't sufficient, she would call. The night before my trustee meeting, she coached me for 45 minutes, going over every single detail, coaching me on possible questions that the trustee might ask. I went to bed that night feeling very prepared. The day of the meeting, I got there early to hear what questions the trustee was asking, I was shocked at how poorly counseled some people were. It was apparent that those attorneys didn't spend any time at all with their clients. When it was my turn, I was obviously nervous, but Barbie was right there by my side, My meeting lasted only about 3 minutes. The trustee didn't ask anything as detailed as we had prepared, but it still felt good knowing that had he asked me anything of that sort, I would have an answer for him. Any document that the trustee wanted, Barbie handed it to him at once. I think even the trustee was amazed at how prepared she was. All in all, Barbie is the BEST. I cannot thank her enough for what she has done for me and my family. Nobody ever plans to go through bankruptcy, but if you must and if it's last resort like it was mine, please don't hesitate to retain Barbie. She will make the process as painless as possible.

Excellent lawyer

Barbie Lieber is an outstanding bankruptcy lawyer. I have a good job as a college professor, yet I managed to get myself into an unwieldy financial mess. I had overextended myself with credit cards, medical bills, student loans and retirement loans. After I made the decision to file for bankruptcy, I... called Barbie because other people recommended her highly. That said, I knew to expect a lot from her, but she did so much more than I ever bargained for. She designed for me a exemplary Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan; a sound, concrete budget that allowed me to cover all my daily living expenses so I never had to worry about garnishments or levies; and she found a way for me to repay my retirement loans in full. She helped me keep my creditors at bay, which gave me peace of mind. Provided I comply with my chapter 13 plan, all of my unsecured debt will be discharged, my student loans will be significantly reduced, and no creditors can contact me again. At first, the thought of filing for bankruptcy overwhelmed, and nearly paralyzed me. I needed some hand holding along the way, and occasional reassurance that everything would be alright. I had many questions about how bankruptcy works and what to expect. Barbie answered all my questions and provided me with the support I needed. I don't remember the last time I worked with anyone so organized, thorough, and sensible. She is a consummate professional: ethical and honest, affordable, and accessible by phone and email always. She returned all my messages at lightening speed. I never felt alone or uninformed, and there were no unwelcome surprises along the way. Ever. In court, she knows all the ropes, which helped me relax. Filing for bankruptcy is a big step. My decision to entrust Barbie Lieber to help me take control of my finances was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
