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.

Life Saver

Two years ago I stepped out, sacrificing everything to move to NY. I had no idea that my life would fall apart. After two years of barely managing my existing debt, having taken a 90% decrease in my income, I was faced with the threat of garnishment of my petty fellowship wages. I googled BR attorney...s and thank goodness Barbie was on the short list. After a brief consultation via phone, she scheduled to meet with me the next day - informing me of all that I needed to bring. The meeting was long and I left feeling confident that my matter would be resolved. Barbie was patient, thorough and kept me well informed throughout the entire process. My situation was quite complicated considering I had several properties, and several sources of "petty income" but she gave it her all. I was well informed from the beginning to the end and she took extra effort to ensure that I completed additional documentation. Most importantly, she is such a great study that she was able to prepare me very well for my meeting of the creditors. Hopefully, I'll never have to hire her again but if I did I would in a heartbeat. It goes without saying that Barbie gets my highest recommendations.

Recent Clients

We were in need of retaining a chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer and started to seriously look around late last year 2012. We spoke with 2 lawfirms and had made a lot of phone calls to other firms before we came upon the AVVO website and saw all the endless positive reviews about Barbie Lieber. We contac...ted her by email first and then after a few emails back and forth, Barbie just asked us for our phone number and she called us right away. We had a lot of concerns, as anyone would in filing chapter 7 and she spent the time with us on the phone. We spent a few days thinking it over and we called her back and retained her. She was able to expedite the filing process quickly, compared to other firms that were quoting a longer waiting time for filing. We were very prepared for the 341 mtg. and calmed my nerves. We have no regrets about any of it. The whole process was stressful at times but Barbie kept assuring us that everything would be okay. And true to her word, everything did work out. Thank you Barbie.
