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!

Very grateful

I had exhausted my savings to the point where I knew, within a month's time, I would be unable to meet my monthly credit card payments. I had never been late in meeting any of my financial obligations and was very nervous and truly beside myself. I was terrified that I might lose my home. I began ...searching for ways to find help on the internet. Luckily, I found this website, which contained information about bankruptcy, and life stories from other people who were also wrestling with debt. It was here that I found Barbie Lieber. After reading so many good reviews about Barbie's skill and approachability, I visited her website and saw that Barbie offered a free consultation. I wrote to her and explained my situation. I worried tremendously before sending the email, but ultimately I learned that reaching out to Barbie was the best step I could have taken. Barbie is very professional and she is also a non-judgmental person. Barbie replied to me that same day, and subsequently, on the following day, we spoke and she began gathering my information. My salary is above the median stated for filing a Chapter 7, but after deducting expenses, Barbie was convinced that bankruptcy was not only the best way for me to find relief, but that I might qualify for a Chapter 7 filing. After bringing all the necessary documentation to Barbie to complete the median test to her satisfaction, I turned out to have a negative monthly balance. And, after meeting with Barbie, I also felt confident that if there were any other option for me to find a way out of trouble, Barbie would have steered me in a direction other than bankruptcy. Ultimately, after completing the documents, Barbie determined that she would file for relief for me under Chapter 7. Throughout the process, Barbie was always accessible by email and by phone. Barbie helped me face my 341 meeting. And, after my 341 meeting, Barbie guided me through gathering the additional documentation requested by the Trustee. Barbie followed up promptly providing the requested documents, and then concisely provided additional information when it was requested. I believe that Barbie would have stood beside me regardless of the outcome and continued to assist me had I needed to go another route after my initial filing. Ultimately, I was fortunate to have been granted a discharge under Chapter 7. I was also permitted to keep my home. I am truly grateful for this second opportunity to manage my financial life.

I never thought I'd have to do this, but I'm glad when I did I had Barbie to guide me.

I must admit this was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I'm a new mom, of a 15 month old, out of work since she was 2months old, single and now my savings are almost gone, the debt collectors are at my door (figuratively speaking) and for the first time ever I'm broke and out of work. Ne...ver thought I'd need to file for bankruptcy but I did. When trying to find a lawyer I was afraid of getting scammed. I found Barbie all over Google and everyone said how great she was. So I called her and a few others just in case. Immediately she asked me about my situation, I felt like she understood me soon after we started talking unlike the rest. After that first conversation, she said she would email me so I could have all her contact info, and contact her if and when I decided to file. Which she immediately did. No pressure no fuss again unlike some of the others I called. Throughout the process she was there ready to answer all my questions. When we went to the 341 meeting she was the only attorney there. Every other attorney had the same representative there to represent them. She's the only one that held her client's(me) hand from beginning to end. Sadly I watched another lady get screwed bc her attorney wasn't there and the rep wasn't well informed on that individuals case. I am so grateful to Barbie for really having my back. I would recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a financial situation and doesn't know where to begin. She was great at explaining all my current and future options should my financial situation change.

Extremely Knowledgable Attorney

Barbie was extremely knowledgable and helpful. I am so happy that I found her. She made the whole process simple and made sure I was comfortable. I am currently unemployed, with 3 kids, so I needed help and Barbie did just that. She prepared everything and was always available whenever I had a questi...on. If you are searching for a bankruptcy lawyer because you're in need of help, make sure you check out Barbie and give her a call. You will be glad you did. Thank you again Barbie for everything!
