Barbie is a lifesaver!

I finally made the difficult decision this year to come to terms and tackle head first all of my issues - health wise, physically, emotionally, financially, etc. I was tired and fed up with myself and the direction my life was going so I decided to take action, and filing for bankruptcy was one of t...hose scary decisions I had to make. I researched plenty of lawyers online, spoke with a few and even went to meet one for a free consultation which was horrible. The guy wouldn't even look me in the eye as he was going through my information and basically throughout the entire meeting! I knew I would just be another number to him and that scared me because this is my life and livelihood on the line. I called Lieber & Lieber after doing additional research and spoke to Barbie. What an amazing difference! From the very first call and meeting, Barbie took the time to get to know me, my situation, my fears and worries - she made me feel comfortable and reassured that not only was I doing the right thing in taking ownership over my debt but also that I wasn't alone in the process which is so important. She walked me through every single step of the process and with such amazing attention to detail that I finally could see a light at the end of this long dark financial tunnel. Whenever I had questions about anything (and I had many!), Barbie would return my calls or email me back so quickly with precise, informative answers that truly showcased her knowledge and expertise. She even took the initiative and would call me with updates and progress/status reports which was surprising to me but so unbelievably comforting. What lawyer does that? The day of the 341 meeting, Barbie met me early and prepped me with the appropriate ways to answer the judges questions and reviewed my information again to ensure I was as prepared as possible. She had all the documents and anything/everything that could be needed with her. She was so prepared, and the judges know this about her and respect her for it! She was the only lawyer in the room like that, the other ones were disasters. Some didn't even have their client's basic info with them, I couldn't believe it! And the judge called them out for it immediately. Also, I had previously signed on to a debt consolidation firm which turned out to be a fraud and tried to take over $5,000 from me. Once Barbie heard that, she went above and beyond what her services should have been and called the company to get my money back. And she did! Barbie is a lifesaver and choosing her to represent my bankruptcy was the best decision I could have made. I am so thankful and grateful to her as a lawyer and as a person. I don't know what I would have done without her. Thank you again for everything Barbie!!!

Thank You Barbie

Barbie helped expedite my bankruptcy process flawlessly and seamlessly. For the 341 meeting she was prepared and anticipated ever possible need of the judge. Barbie prepared me in regards to what to expect, had all of my paperwork in order and nicely coordinated. While waiting for my meeting I notice...d other attorneys were not prepared and the judge did not hesitate to call them out. I was nervous, but with Barbie, it was quick, easy and painless. She was extremely prompt to return my calls, answer any questions and had this entire process done in no time. Thank you so much for helping me through such a complicated time in my life.

Barbie Lieber

After searching through the internet and making an umpteenth amount of calls, I came across Lieber and Lieber’s website. The site was so informative! So, even though I was discouraged from the other attorneys that I spoke to, I decided to leave a message. Barbie called me back the same day; which ...was a holiday that fell on a Saturday. I assumed I would be called back that Monday or maybe even later that week at best. I explained my situation, she listened and answered my questions and addressed my concerns. Barbie was so encouraging and caring. I wanted to make an appointment with Barbie, but when I found out her office was on the 21st Floor I explained to her that I am claustrophobic and cannot take elevators. Barbie told me that it was no problem because there was a diner in the lobby, and she would come down and meet with me. Once we met I was positive that I made the perfect choice! The other attorneys I spoke to barely listened and they sounded like they were reading from a script. They wouldn’t answer any questions, until, of course, I met with them and made a payment. When I met with Barbie, I brought more documents then I even needed to. Barbie looked over and made notes on each and every one and she remembered things from our phone conversation. We agreed on a payment plan and once I paid in full, she sent me the petition to review and when I gave the “okay” and she sent it in. I was given a court date for about six weeks later. Barbie explained what the process with the Trustee would be like. I was so nervous and whenever I emailed or called Barbie she responded faster than I could have hoped. When my date was getting near, and my nerves were getting the best of me Barbie was always the voice of reason and calmed me down. When the day came, she was there by my side and the meeting with the Trustee could not have went any better. About six weeks after the meeting my case was discharged! One last thing, Barbie was concerned about me as a person, not just client. She gave me advice on my health issue, which touched my heart more then you can imagine. Thank you and God Bless.

Compassionate, Caring, and THOROUGH!!

I have known Barbie Leiber for many years, both personally and professionally. Five years ago, she helped us close on our first house. She was extremely thorough with regard to looking over contracts, and equally as important, explaining them to us in terms we could understand. We recently had Barb...ie draw up a rental agreement for us, as we are moving and renting out our property for the year. Once again, Barbie was informative, knowledgeable, and thorough. What I respect about Barbie is her loyalty. You always have the sense that you are her priority. My husband and I always knew we were in good hands with her!

Pick up your phone and call....

I was horrified and embarrased by the fact that I was trapped in a huge debt situation where harassing phone calls were unstoppable, until I approached Barbie Lieber at Lieber & Lieber, LLP. I was very much skeptical at first about the bankruptcy process and its benefits to me; however, Barbie convi...nced me with her incredible knowledge and understanding. Most importantly, she treated me with full respect and guided me through the entire bankruptcy process patiently with clear instructions and advice. I wouldn't have regained my normal life without her help. Thank you very much again, Barbie!"
