Barbie was great to work with. She made the whole process fast and easy, AND she asked all the important questions! Bankruptcy is a very nerve wracking process, and even though I was nervous, I knew I was in good hands.... The day of my hearing, there were so many people who got their case detaine...d because they, or their lawyer, didn't submit extremely important information (like the sale of a house) in the paperwork! As soon as I sat down with Barbie, she started asking me all the questions these other lawyers seemed to overlook. I felt very well taken cared of. Her confidence in me and my case spoke volumes; simply put, if she doesn't think she can win it or if bankruptcy is not right for you, she won't take it. Not only that, but she was quick to respond to any questions I had and had no problem calming my nervousness. All in all, it was the smoothest process with Barbie; highly recommended.

Caring, Quick, and knows her Case Law!

Barbie helped me out in a big way. I was deeply in debt and defulted on student loans, to the extent where I had 25% garnishes on my paychecks. After a promotion, my income increased significantly, which meant the garnishments were getting bigger and bigger, but only paying two of my creditors. I ...called Barbie and she recommended a rush filing in order to prevent the garnishment of a large commission check. We were able to get filed the next day, and my plan has since been confirmed. Barbie was empathetic, knowledgeable, and willing to work overtime to make sure I got the best results possible. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody who is facing garnishments, judgments, or liens.

Thank You Barbie!

Thanks to Barbie Lieber I have my life back! I had made a property investment at the peak of the housing market in 2007. With the property being under water and having an unreliable tenant, the stress of my financial situation consumed me until I finally made the decision to file for Chapter 7. ... I searched for Bankruptcy lawyers on the internet and found Lieber and Lieber, they had the most positive reviews out of anyone else. I called their office late on a Friday night hoping to get an answering machine. However to my surprise I was able to speak to Barbie herself. She stayed on the phone with me for hours discussing my case (mind you this is past 7pm on a Friday night) Being that I was still unsure, emotional and had a lot of questions, Barbie met me the very next morning (a Saturday) at a local establishment (we discovered we live about 4 blocks from one another) I really needed the personal care she gave me. I am young and felt ashamed and embarrassed but my financial distraught, but Barbie held my hand throughout the entire process. She was even giving people advice at the 341 meetings that either did not have a lawyer or whose lawyer was not there yet. She is thorough to a fault, a great lawyer and a genuinely good person. TRUST me, when dealing with filing for Bankruptcy, hire Barbie Leiber, get out of debt and move on with your life!!

With Barbie "Nothing Impossible"....Finally my nightmare over.

Today, Barbie accompany me at my 341 Meeting. I got number 48, the last 3 people left on the room. But with her, i'm sure that i can end my nightmare today. And i will start my life again for bright future, i'm positive with that. I just lost my house at 2010 because of Foreclosure. At 2008. i l...ost my jobs and i'm a mother with 5 kids. That time, i try to contact one lawyer at Flushing about my situation. Because i can't pay my mortgage and i have a lot of credit card debts. Since i live in Queens, i decided to contact one bankruptcy lawyer at Flushing. After i paid $350 for first time consultation with that lawyer Mr Q, instead of he helping me, he just cursing on me for whole 1 hour our consultation. After that i went home, try to change my phone number, since i already give Mr Q my phone number. And i start living with nightmare, i'm scare to death for the past 4 years.After that i didn't do anything about my situation. I just flow like water in the river, Because i really have no idea what i have to do. This year, my husband just got his tax return, since we have joint account. Of course tax return money, we just leave it in our saving account for emergency, not much approx $4000. But for us, that's money mean a lot after everything we lost, especially we have 5 kids. You never know, what will happen. On May 11 '2012, we just got our big suprise. That day i woke up and my husband asking me to take some money from bank, since 1 day before i just deposit his pay stuff. And when i try to go to ATM, actually one message show up on the screen said "Please contact customer service" And then i went home, i call customer service, they transfer my call to their legal department. And bank legal department explain to me that our account "Frozen" because of garnishment (or something like that). I really don't know what's going on. After that i try to check on the internet again about my situation and i decide to give it one more try to hire lawyer. This time luck on my side, because i found Barbie. And after i check her feedback, i have feeling that she's "The One". I still remember, on Saturday i try to leave her message, even my husband told me that he think Barbie will not reply my message, especially is she is very good lawyer. And my husband ask my to try to call again on Monday. But before i got chance to call her, actually she reply my call and leave a message on my phone ( Monday, May 14 ' 2012) After we talk, she decided to move fast on my case. She set up a meeting for next day (Tuesday), and she prepare all my paper work within one day (Monday night), because she know that my baby was sick. So she try to get all my information over the phone. And on Tuesday, May 15 '2012 , i met her and she already finish with all my paper work. And she filling my bankruptcy case that day, can you believe it ??? Because she said that we need to move fast so she try to help me to "unfrozen our bank account". The next day, i got email from her, that she trying to contact my creditor and other people to help me to remove the judgment against me, since i already submit my file for bankruptcy. On Wednesday May 16 '2012 , my bank contact me and told me that my bank account already active. Because creditor already removed their judgment against me. And today ( June 20 '2012) she accompany me more than 3 hours to wait for my 341 meeting. And try to calm me. I really blessed to have Barbie as my attorney, because i saw so many people who pay lawyer and their lawyer not even show up. If you have any situation like mine or more than mine. I believe that Barbie can help you. And her price reasonable , compare to the excellent service that you will get. I apologize if my english not right, since i never write any review in my life. This is my first time write a review for such an excellent person like Barbie. May God bless you and your family.

Blown Away by Barbie!

I felt hopeless and buried…until I began working with Barbie! I had consultations with 3 other bankruptcy attorneys prior to contacting Barbie. Each of these consults was very mechanical and lacked personal interest in my case. I read several raving reviews about Barbie (I didn't have time to read... all of them)…and decided to contact her. Our first phone conversation lasted nearly 30 minutes. Based on her detailed questions/answers as well as a genuine interest in my complicated situation, I knew that she would be the best. I couldn't have been more correct! I informed Barbie that I was facing eviction within a few days. In addition to providing me with priceless advice of what/how/when to act, she provided me with impeccable follow-up...to a level that made me feel as if my case was her highest priority. Having only a few days prior to my impending receipt of a notice of eviction, Barbie worked me into her busy schedule to the neglect of no one's needs but her own. In order to enact an immediate Stay of Eviction, she stayed late at her office (it was nearly 11PM) until the completion of filing my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case. Amazing Dedication! I can't tell you how much relief I felt as a result of the immediate stay of eviction. As the date of the 341 hearing approached, Barbie stayed in frequent contact with me…both asking and answering questions. I felt confident going into the hearing because of her detailed preparation…preparation that also included a role-playing of what I could expect at the 341 hearing with the Trustee. On the day of the hearing, Barbie was present and representing multiple clients of hers. One again, in spite of her case load, she provided me with one-on-one attention and a case review prior to our appearance before the trustee. Prior to my case being called, I was able to witness other cases (clients represented by other attorneys). I was in disbelief as I saw several examples of what can happen as a result of poor preparation. One attorney failed to provide the trustee with necessary documents until the very day of the hearing. Needless to say, that hearing did not go well. Another attorney altogether misrepresented several items contained in one of the affidavits…causing the case to be adjourned. I can only imagine the frustration felt by their client as they'll need to go through that process all over again. My meeting with the trustee went very smoothly. I witnessed the trustee reviewing my well-written case and (as a result of Barbie's detail) asking me much fewer questions (than other cases I witnessed). By the way, my case was incredibly complicated and where many attorneys might have taken that opportunity to charge additional fees, Barbie did not. I guess I could summarize this review by saying…if you choose Barbie, you will not regret it. Thanks Barbie! I'll never be able to adequately express my gratitude for what you've done for me and my future.
