The best

I was in the process of losing my home do to me being disabled. I tried to talk to my bank a couple of times to get a modification for my home and they refused. My house was going into forclosure in less than a month. I was so stressed out crying every day trying to find a way to save my home. I went... on Google to search for help and found Barbie Lieber. I called and explained my situation to her and asked her for help. She heard in my voice how desperate I was to save my home from going into forclosure. Barbie asked me to gather certain paperwork that she needed to file with the courts. Within the next couple of months Barbie and I would email or text each other regarding extra paperwork that was needed. She and I would meet up in court and she handled everything that needed to be handled. She had filed all the paperwork that was needed to be filed and was able to save my home from going into forclosure all within a couple of months. I'm so happy that I hired Barbie Lieber. She is very understanding and so helpful. I can't explain how happy and relieved I am, and so very appreciative that my home was saved and I have Barbie Lieber to thank for it.

Barbie the Incredible

I would go with Barbie hands-down. She is not only extremely professional and sharp as all get-out but she's also really kind, warm, and compassionate which meant a lot to me. She even gave me extraneous legal advice! She stood up for me and was extremely thorough when we put together my case to make... sure we didn't miss any detail. She's wonderful.

The Best!

Barbie is amazing. She covers all of her bases, dots every T and crosses every I. She's also extremely personable and cares about her clients. She was my ally the whole way through, and I'm so grateful to have worked with her on my case (closed June, 2016).

Beating Student Loans

Thank you Barbie Lieber for doing the impossible—settling my $105,000 Sallie Mae student loans so quickly and for a fraction of the amount allegedly owed. After completed a Masters Degree at a top university, I left with an education, a diploma, and, a massive student loan with Sallie Mae. The l...oan compiled with interest and fees over a number of years and just like anybody with student loans I felt burdened and this sense that it would never end. After University, I was a part of a start-up company that ultimately did not work out, in the meantime Sallie Mae dropped to the background as a priority, but what didn't were the interest and fees. After a few years of ignoring the loan, a lawsuit was filed and a judgment obtained against me, while it may have seemed inevitable, it still felt like a shock. Now with me trying to pursue a different career path, the loan felt like an even greater source of stress, only now it was represented by a legal team. I Interviewed a bunch of debt settlement lawyers in New York to defend me who said it was impossible to settle with Sallie Mae/SLM Private Credit Student Trust and its successors , at least not in any significant way. Moreover the advice was given convincingly and unequivocally, especially given that a judgment for over $105,000 had already been obtained by Sallie Mae against me. But things changed when I called debt settlement lawyer, Barbie Lieber, for the first time, I heard Barbie ‘s enthusiasm and eagerness to help me. I felt calm and like I might just have a chance at doing something here. Within a very short time of retaining her, Barbie was able to move to vacate the judgment and settle the amount owed for a small fraction of what was owed-only $15,000!! Her attitude was relentless. I never in a million years imagined she’d be able to settle for as low as she did. ... that was a different kind of shock for me. Barbie Lieber always kept me abreast of her strategy. She responded to calls and emails immediately. I felt that she kept me in the loop and I was a part of a team. Dealing with loans as long as I had, you always feel on the back foot; but, with Barbie Lieber I felt a shift in the balance, all of a sudden a sense they are outmatched. At the end she negotiated the settlement agreement to protect me. Unknown to me, it is astounding how tricky the terms of a settlement can be; it is not just getting to a final number; there is a further level of meticulous strategy needed to ensure your deal is solid and memorialized in writing so as to provide me with complete protection. I feel a lot of us get an unfair shake when it comes to student loans; you get the sense of a never-ending battle with the chips stacked against you that leads to a lifelong debt. If you want a chance at shifting the balance Barbie Lieber is the way to go. Now that this debt is settled, I am so relieved. Thank you Barbie.
