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.

She really worked with me and prepared me for the meeting with the trustee. She even had to help out one of the attorneys that came unprepared to their meeting with the trustee. Some attorneys failed to fill out the bankruptcy petition and schedules properly, provide the documents to the trustee ahea...d of time and properly prepare their clients for the hearing. She knows what she is doing and I would recommend her to anyone. So glad that I contacted her!

She calls you the night before your hearing and goes over your information. She is very thorough.

After her diligently working with my mom to save her house from forclosure and put her financial issues back in order, I realised then maybe one day I might need her.

When my advanced cancer diagnosis necessitated my filing for bankruptcy, I felt like I had been hit with an emotional jack hammer. Reeling with feelings of fear, grief, and shame, I hesitantly sought out a bankruptcy attorney. Yet from our first phone call, Barbie Lieber not only assuaged my fears wi...th her incredible depth of knowledge, but she bolstered my fragile sense of self esteem with her sensitive and compassionate attitude. Barbie's fierce and inexhaustible representation allowed me to focus on my physical recovery, while she handled the endless details and red tape of my bankruptcy settlement. She patiently explained every detail of my case, was ever available to answer any and all questions, as well as provide emotional support and coaching for my court appearances. I am forever grateful for her dedication and expertise. I heartily recommend Barbie Lieber. She is simply the BEST!!

Due to changing economic times, and a change in pay at my job, in addition to loans I took out to cover expenses, let me no choice but to consider Bankruptcy. I was drowning and just barely getting by. I was fortunate enough to find Barbie Lieber as my lawyer. I make over $60K a year, and I was wor...ried that I would not pass the means test to file a Chapter 7. In addition I have a rent stabilized lease in Manhattan; and I was worried I could lose that if I filed a Chapter 7. Barbie spent the entire time at our initial meeting putting me at ease. She explained everything to me in terms I would understand, and she assured me she would be by my side throughout the entire process. She was always available to talk on the phone, or responded to my emails within hours. She went way above what I would have expected a lawyer to do. As my 341 meeting approached, I was getting nervous. I had no idea what to expect. She took time to prepare me in detail as to what I would expect to happen in the meeting. We went over all possible questions that could be asked, so I would be at ease during the meeting. It worked. The meeting lasted only a few minutes and everything we covered ahead of time was asked. She sat next to me waiting for my turn, and she sat next to me the entire time, ready to jump in if there was something I was unsure of. She was prepared with all documents that could have been asked for at this meeting – again, very professional. I am very relieved now that the 341 is over and the trustee closed my meeting. If you are in the same position as I was, and feel there is no one to turn to, I can assure you there is. Contact Barbie Lieber. You will be glad you did.
