Made my NYC Bankruptcy filing easy and stress-free

When I got notified that my credit card company was suing me for outstanding debt, at the end of 2020 no less, when I'd become unemployed, I felt completely overwhelmed. I searched "NYC Bankruptcy lawyer," landed on Avvo, and saw Barbie's excellent ratings. I emailed her right away and she responded ...immediately. I am so glad I found Barbie. She is thorough, efficient, compassionate, and incredibly hard-working. She helped me file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy within weeks of contacting her, and she made the process as easy as it possibly could have been. While filing for bankruptcy can bring feelings of shame and fear, Barbie was in my corner throughout the process and prepared me for every step. I am so grateful to her; it is a huge weight off of my shoulders to not have the debt hanging over me as I try to get back on my feet financially. Hire Barbie, you won't regret it!

Cannot thank Barbie enough!!!

Barbie took on my complicated Chapter 13 case back in 2017 and helped me turn a very stressful situation into something completely manageable. She was there for me every step of the way even through 2020 when she helped me convert my Chapter 13 case successfully into a Chapter 7. I do not know what... I'd do without her guidance and preparation for both of my bankruptcy hearings. She is extremely knowledgeable and her experience is evident in how she handles the entire process. I honestly could not thank Barbie enough for everything she has done for me. She is a life saver!

I met Barbie Lieber in Spring if 2019 and it feels like she saved my life.

I met Barbie Lieber in Spring if 2019 and it feels like she saved my life. I was in a real mess. You are never quite sure how you get to this point, I am a professional person with a job on Wall Street, but things were spiraling out of control. My Chapter 13 Bankruptcy stemmed from a very bad div...orce with crushing property settlement and attached IRS debt. When I met Barbie I had filed Chapter 13 twice before but both were dismissed (an out of state previous lawyer, inexperienced in SDNY courts took us down a dark path). It felt like no one in New York City would touch me. I had been trying to file Chapter 13 pro se (all by myself) for a third time with the same 2 creditors but it blew up in my initial 341 meeting of creditors. The Trustee basically said wrong forms go back and try again (have you guys seen all those forms?). Well I decided if this was going to work I needed to hire an attorney and luckily found Barbie Lieber, truthfully The Best Bankruptcy Chapter 13 Attorney in all of NYC. I knew it had to be Barbie because my first court appearance in SDNY (while trying to file in my own) and waiting to go in front of Judge Cecelia G Morris, an excellent, very fair Judge, I saw Barbie and how she interacted with the Trustee and the how much the Judge listened to her and how smooth everything was going for her clients. I had also seen her working with her clients at my first 341 meeting of the creditors and her clients were sailing through! There is obviously much more to this story but as we wound our way through this Chapter 13 process and I believe this was one of her most challenging, she never wavered. First, the mutual respect between Barbie and the Trustee and Judge were invaluable. Second, she was always thinking about the case and thinking outside of the box for solutions to any problems that arose, and there were a lot of them. Third, she was always fully prepared and made sure I was fully prepared for what we were currently dealing with and what was to come and she was always there to answer all of my many questions day or night. My Chapter 13 filing was confirmed in fall of 2019. In my opinion you will not find better Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney than Barbie Lieber and you would be lucky if she decided to take on your case.

Chapter 7 successful bankruptcy attorney!

Barbie is very straight forward and takes the time necessary to asses if you are or not eligible to file bankruptcy. Her method and series of questions is accurate and efficient to lead in a successful case. She’s well experienced and knowledgeable and, I would recommend her to any business associate... that needs Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 legal advise. Bravo Barbie to the best bankruptcy attorney and a great job, I’m debt free!

Reliable, AVAILABLE, straightforward bankruptcy lawyer

Just about the time I thought my financial problem was hopeless, and my financial situation was like a train running full speed into a concrete wall. luckily I came across Bankruptcy Atty. Barbie's profile. and on that day she was the only one who returned my call herself , ( other atty.'s offices to...ok few days to call back to schedule an appointment). Barbie (herself) called back the same day.Nov 22, 2019. And I would never forget this, because this was the day my life turn around for the better! On this first call, Barbie and I spent probably two hours as I tell her my situation, and she explaining to me what the best thing to do was specially as I was about start my career in nursing. On that very day, we filed for bankruptcy chapter 13. THAT FAST. Atty. Barbie made me feel she was just as eager as I am to get out of the mess as soon as possible! I'm so thankful to trust Atty. Barbie and followed Barbie's advises, & guidance. At my most desperate time, I had literally nothing else to lose. Atty. Barbie worked with what I have at that time. I did not think any other lawyer would still be on the phone after learning I don't even have enough to afford to file yet. I'm grateful for the "stress free" bankruptcy experience. plus the human compassion I felt. I knew if I were to get out of the financial mess I got myself into, I had to follow all of what Atty. barbie instructed. and throughout the process barbie was available when I had questions. during the meetings at the court. you can be confident that atty. barbie prepared everything we could possibly need for the meeting to go smoothly, and when she says the actual meeting is about 5 mins long, its 5 mins long! don't overfeed your parking meter. Also she made sure I was ready for the 341 meeting. where to go, who to look for, what to say, what to bring, and how much money for the fee. and after that 5 min 341 meeting, barbie called to follow up. during the confirmation court date, same thing. crystal clear instructions. Last week Atty. Barbie called to let me know that it's done. I got approved! and told me how the hearing went and she mentioned to the judge the fact that I'm a nurse who just started my career. and the judge expressed his appreciation for what I do during these challenging times. I cannot thank Barbie enough! she's MY HERO for getting me out of the nightmare i was living . I recommend her if you're looking for reliable, AVAILABLE, no BS, straight forward lawyer during the scariest most stressful time in your life. When you're at your worst and scared and have no more room to make mistakes. call atty. Barbie! Now!
