Better call Saul … NO … Better call Barbie Lieber for bankruptcy!

My situation was very bad and recently turned out to be even worse after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. My debt for Credit Cards was $ 105,000 with monthly interest charges $ 1,300 and minimum monthly payments $ 3,100. There is 3 Student Loans on my shoulder for total $ 86,000 - $800 every... month. My payments were being paid to interest and I was just spinning my wheels. Plus regular monthly payment for rent, electricity, internet, car payment, insurance, food, clothes, my wife credit cards, student loan …….. another $ 4000. To survive we did utilized credit cards, every available dollar used to pay some bills or buying some goods. All credits were used at 100%, credit score going down and down. No vacations, no something special to buy, no life, no future. Wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in October, we start looking for good hospital and started treatments at Memorial Sloan Catering, one of the best in area…. but bills started coming and we had no money to pay it. Daughter pushed us for bankruptcy. I did intensive research all over WEB, had meeting with some lawyers in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I stopped looking after talking to Barbie. We did select Barbie as my lawyer and this was the best decision ever. Barbie kept me apprised of everything and explained it all. She was so transparent and was always there to answer all of my questions. If I send an email, she immediately sends one back! Barbie was able to reduce my monthly payments to $2,245 for 60 months. (She was able to postpone the hearing to await to see which creditors actually filed claims, which ended up being less than anticipated.) This strategic move saved me about $1,000. That was amazing! We can see light at end of tunnel now. We will be free of debt in 56 month. We can have small vacation after we finished battle with cancer. Thank you, Barbie.

Absolutely Amazing - Must Hire if Considering Bankruptcy

About six months ago, I was drowning in debt and didnt know what to do. I began looking for ways to get out of my situation, but just about everywhere I turned seemed to lead to a dead end. It seemed the only option I had left was bankruptcy. I knew nothing about it though, So in an effort to gain ...knowledge on the situation, I began looking for a bankruptcy lawyer to discuss my problem. To my surprise, there were thousands of Lawyers in the NY area who specialized in bankruptcy. What surprised me even more though l, was in this pool of thousands, everywhere I looked I saw the same name at the top of the list; Barbie Dawn Lieber. I said to myself, how can any lawyer have this many wonderful reviews? It's impossible!! With my situation becoming more dyre though, I decided I needed to find out for myself. The next morning, I reached out to Barbie's office to schedule an appointment. I had expected to get a receptionist who would tell she was busy and that I could have an appointment in a month or so. I mean, a lawyer with that many great reviews, she surely must be busy. To my surprise though, Barbie herself answered my call. She also told me she was available to meet that afternoon. I said, how can this be? and I started thinking back to my initial thoughts from the day before regarding her reviews. With my skepticism of Barbie growing, I headed off that afternoon to meet her at her office. Within a few minutes of my arriving at her office, Barbie, very pleasantly, came to great me. We sat down and began talking through my situation. After only a few minutes of talking, I realized how completely wrong my preconceived notions of her were. Barbie was knowledgeable, thorough in the questions she asked and completely professional. She walked me through the chapter 13 bankruptcy process (filing, 341 meeting, confirmation hearing, etc.) and showed me how it could be a beneficial solution to my problem. Although It seemed like a good idea for me, I didn't want to commit right then and there. We left off that I would get back in touch with her in a few days and plan a course of action. After a day of deliberation, I decided to file for chapter 13 with Barbie as my lawyer. I called her and asked her to begin preparing the paperwork and within a few days I was filed. For those who don't know, about 2 months after filing comes the 341 meeting. I had been in contact with Barbie the whole time since I had filed, but she scheduled a call with me the night before the meeting to walk me through what to expect one last time. At the 341 meeting, I arrived early as instructed by Barbie, so I could see how other meetings were conducted. To my amazement, I could not believe how ill prepared other attorneys and their clients were. They were unable to answer simple questions or provide the relevant info the trustee was asking for. After about four hours of watching case by case be a comedy of errors, it was finally my turn. Barbie and I walked up to the front of the room and sat before the trustee to begin the meeting. Thanks to our preparation, the process which lasted about 20-30 minutes for most lasted less than 5 minutes. I couldn't believe it. With the 341 meeting now being behind me. All that was left was my confirmation hearing. This is where the judge confirms your bankruptcy plan and sets you off on the path of financial reorganization. At the hearing, much like the 341 meeting, I watched as case after case got dismissed or adjourned to a later date because the lawyer or client wasn't prepared. This was not the case with Barbie's client though. Aside from myself, Barbie had three clients that day up for their attempt at confirmation and every single case she had was confirmed. Much like the time she spent with me, she prepared all of her clients in the same manner and led all of their cases to success. I can't thank Barbie enough for all she has done! She is an absolutely wonderful attorney!

Chapter 7 bankruptcy

Barbie Lieber is a talented Lawyer. She helped me with my Bankruptcy case when I did not have a hope. Credit card companies were calling my house every day threatening me and I did not know what to do. I am married and have 4 children to support with a lower paying job, my wife with no income. Howeve...r, when I met Ms. Lieber, she worked very hard for me, she filed a Bankruptcy on my behalf and I won the case. At the 341 meeting, I was so nervous but she was there to support me. She is friendly and can be reached at any time. If you need a Bankruptcy lawyer please give Barbie Lieber a call.

Barbie to the rescue!

My husband and I approached Barbie to help us after an endless attempt at a short sale ruined our credit and consumed our lives. By miraculously managing to get the mortgage company to withdraw their claim(!!!) and helping us find all of those hidden expenses that make raising a family so financially... challenging, she was able to provide us with a very "doable" Chapter 13 payment plan, thus pulling us out of a very dark hole. We will be forever grateful!

Extremely grateful

She is an awesome and amazing attorney. The positive reviews that I read lived up to their expectations. She preps you to the point where you are extremely confident in front of the trustee. She does everything she has to do to make the process go by fast and easy for you. While other attorneys had t...heir cases adjourned due to mistakes in the filing. Barbie made no mistake in my filing and our case was closed in 2 minutes. She is straight forward, compassionate and understanding. She is highly respected by the trustees in the court, so they are confident that the information that she is providing is accurate and true. She's such an excellent attorney I can't even put it into words. You helped me get a fresh start Barbie I don't know how to repay you. Thank you so much. God bless you. Keep doing great work for the people who need it.
