Please read my review and choose Barbie Lieber as your bankruptcy attorney if you live in New York and want peace of mind! It will be a decision I guarantee you will never regret. I believe that the hardest decision to make when considering bankruptcy is choosing an attorney. The topic of filing ...for bankruptcy was on our minds for a very long time before we made the decision to proceed. We were overwhelmed by credit card debt collectors, the IRS and New York State, which were demanding that we pay around $3,000 per month (which was mostly for interest). We did not have the finances to come close to being able to pay that and we had reached the point of depleting all of our savings and possibly losing our home. We were struggling simply to pay for the needs of our 3 children. Our biggest fear was not choosing the right attorney. Several months before we found Barbie Lieber, we had scheduled an appointment with another attorney to discuss our financial situation and whether bankruptcy was the right decision. My husband and I left that meeting with no faith in this attorney or any clear information that bankruptcy was the best option for us. The information presented to us was just too general and rushed. Months later our situation had gotten worse. Our debt began to increase and we were struggling to pay our mortgage. Thankfully, I was able to find Barbie on Avvo. There were so many amazing reviews for her and I felt that she would come through for us too. It was evident from our first meeting that we found an attorney with a wealth of knowledge and experience in bankruptcy law. She outlined the bankruptcy process so clearly to us that we felt extremely comfortable in our decision in filing for bankruptcy and choosing her as our attorney. She explained to us how chapter 13 could benefit us, with interest stopping once we filed and having the payment based upon what we could actually afford per month. We felt like she made us partners in the bankruptcy by explaining things to us and making us a part of it. Barbie got to know us so well-she knew the needs of all of our particular family members, including the needs of one of my children who has special needs and the type and costs of his therapy. Getting to know us well and our particular needs and getting to understand our particular jobs and how our income varies, made her be able to represent us in the best possible way, ensuring that the monthly amount that we would pay under the plan would take into consideration our particular living expenses. Our chapter 13 plan has been approved by the Court!!!! Because of Barbie Lieber’s efforts, our chapter 13 plan was one of the only cases on the Judge’s calendar to have the chapter 13 plan approved by the court. The monthly payments under the plan are now based upon what we can actually afford—the monthly amount is now less than half of what the creditors were demanding from us. Now, we can pay our mortgage and won’t lose our home to foreclosure. And, we are thrilled that all of our taxes will be satisfied under the plan so that when we emerge from bankruptcy, we’ll owe nothing to the IRS or NYS. There has been a huge weight lifted off our shoulders. My family can now move forward without the stress of debt hanging over us. Barbie possesses so many amazing qualities both as an attorney but also as a person. As an attorney, she is brilliant, knowledgeable, fierce and strong. She will fight for you if she does not believe something is right. Barbie is also a caring person, who again takes the time to get to know her clients. She showed genuine concern for my family’s well-being during this whole process. I am so happy that I found Barbie Lieber’s name in Avvo when I was searching for bankruptcy attorneys in New York. Words cannot describe how grateful my husband and I are for everything that she has done for us. We strongly recommend her services

I was referred to Barbie Lieber by my tax accountant after it became clear that I would not be able to come out from under life events that had left my finances in a shambles. Bankruptcy was not something that I was comfortable with and I had put off the inevitable much longer than I should have. Bar...bie took my call immediately and said that she would make time to meet with me the next day. Within an hour of our initial phone call she'd sent me an email recapping all that we had discussed and listing the paperwork that she needed me to bring along to our scheduled appointment. Her office is very conveniently located right across the street from Grand Central Station. Barbie was on time and on point. We sat together and went through all of my paperwork piece by piece. Her brilliant mind is so quick and with her vast knowledge of the bankruptcy arena she knows exactly what is needed and what is extraneous. She gets right to the meat of the matter, all the while advising you on what applies to your particular situation. Given my extreme financial straits, she worked with me on a payment plan for the fees and advised me how to track my expenses in the months leading up to filing. After assessing a true and in depth overview of my finances, she was very open with me about what options were available to me and how I should proceed. We set upon a plan and over the next six months she would check in with me from time to time just to make sure everything was still on track and that I was doing all that she had advised. She knows her stuff inside and out and shares her expertise with such a generosity of heart that you feel more like family than just another client, her tenacity and dedication is that strong. Barbie Lieber takes a vested interest in you, giving life advice and good counsel along the way. Just as an example, when I lost my job, she encouraged me to contact my employer to get continued insurance for another month, which I did and got!!! She also encouraged me to apply for food stamps which was a great help and she has even given me suggestions on how to earn money while I am looking for permanent employment. On the day of the final hearing I felt very blessed to have her in my corner. She was literally sitting by my side the entire time, keeping me calm and assuring me everything was going to be alright. The time she spent prepping me the day before was invaluable. While I was always impressed and appreciative of Ms. Lieber's talents, witnessing all of the other unfortunate souls that were there for the same purpose, but sadly, unrepresented or worse, represented badly, my gratitude grew ten-fold. Having Barbie walk me through the process with such confidence and understanding was tantamount to my ultimately positive outcome. I highly recommend Barbie Lieber, a wonderful New York City Bankruptcy Attorney! She is honest, has integrity and knows the law.

Barbie was the best. I found her after going to an attorney who quoted me a extra large monthly plan payment. She was able to go through my budget and determine all claims that I was eligible for. She was able to successfully challenge the trustee on a couple of issues. On top of it all I my plan wa...s approved at my first confirmation hearing! Barbie is intelligent and kind with just the right amount of sass that it takes to get the job done!

Where can I start Barbie has really helped me out through my situation a lot. I was going through financial debt and medical debt in addition to a awful relationship. As soon as I met Barbie and she started talking to me I felt comfortable and relaxed. I was able to tell her my whole life situation b...oth personally and financially which is hard for me because I had all this things going on and nobody to trust until I met Barbie. She really does care for her clients and you are a top priority for her. I thank God I met her because she really helped me with my situation . Also she works out with you payment options which is very nice she's not a lawyer only after your money . In short if you going to do bankruptcy Barbie Lieber is the way to go. She is very knowledgeable, professional, honest, trustworthy and so much more. Thank you Barbie May God bless you and your family.

Please if you ever need to file for bankruptcy do not look anywhere else, If you want your case to be solved in a short period of time and with excellent results. YOU MUST READ THIS. I was drowning in debt. I just had my 4th child and I was forced to leave my 2nd job in order to be home earlier to ...care for my young children. I own 3 properties and all of them were under water. On my primary home I owed $500, 000 on the 1st mortgage and $92,000 in the 2nd mortgage. I also own a rental property with 2 mortgages. The 1st mortgage is $380,000 and the 2nd mortgage is $94,000. I also owned a condominium that was rented but I lost the tenant. I couldn’t afford to pay these mortgages. I had most of my properties rented, but I was still falling behind in my payments. The rent was not covering all the expenses. My fiancé and I looked online and found Barbie Dawn Lieber. From the first interview over the phone I knew she was going to be the perfect attorney for my very COMPLICATED case. Barbie was very knowledgeable about the bankruptcy laws and which chapter was the best one to file for my very COMPLICATED situation. Barbie Lieber got my case confirmed in as little as 6 months. Barbie Lieber was able to strip off the 2nd mortgages on both of my properties, surrender my condominium, and create a 36 month plan where I only have to pay $53.53 dollars monthly. Barbie Lieber is very professional and always returns my phone calls and emails. Barbie Lieber saved my life, my family’s future and I are very satisfied with her work. If you ever need an attorney that can deliver and fight for you Barbie Lieber is the attorney to call. God Bless her! Thank you Barbie from the bottom of my heart you are the best attorney.
