LIFE-CHANGING

Barbie Lieber is the best bankruptcy attorney in NYC. She genuinely changed the course of my entire life from being completely hopeless for years to now being on a path where I'm excited about my future. Candidly, this transformation is a sea change that I did not think was possible before working... with her. Prior to contacting Barbie, I had been in an agreement with a "Debt Settlement Company" / "Debt Consolidation Company". I had no idea that most of the monies I would pay to the debt settlement company were paid, not to the creditors, but to the debt settlement company. That's in the hidden fine print. I had no idea that the debt settlement company would not be able to get all the creditors to sign onto a plan and that I would be sued by creditors who refused to settle. I wasted all this money and time with the debt settlement company. I felt no end in sight; feeling despair. Having said that, Barbie Lieber has a mastery of the laws & procedures and gave me precise & clear guidance from the minute I called her. Thanks to her, I cancelled with the debt settlement company and began my life. She immediately took action to educate and advise me, file me for bankruptcy and stop the lawsuits. Everything she did was transparent and clear. I always felt respected and not judged. I was initially referred to her by two independent sources. These individuals work for two separate companies (One company is a mega-sized bank and the other company is a major hospital system) and both companies have Barbie Lieber, Esq, Lieber & Lieber, LLP listed within the sub-section of a larger directory that makes recommendations for employees seeking a bankruptcy attorney. Needless to say and with all things considered, Barbie is the most skilled attorney I've ever seen and I literally cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much, Barbie.

Above and Beyond

Assisting a family member navigating through a hardship, I called Attorney Lieber with the hopes that I could possibly arrange for an appointment. She not only made the time to instantly help give general information on options, but provided the guidance needed for me to understand fundamental knowle...dge behind the issue we discussed. It was immediately evident that she truly wants to help anyone who reaches out to her. Her honesty, straight forward details, and ability to present a clear picture is above and beyond what I had expected. I would recommend her service to anyone in the New York area who is seeking counsel for bankruptcy.

Excellent! The reviews are true!

EDIT TO UPDATE: Five years ago my husband and I started our charter 13 journey and as of today our case was discharged, and we’re debt free! All of this couldn’t have been done without Barbie Lieber. From my first phone call with her I knew she was the attorney we needed for our case. Barbie is exce...llent, and you should look no further than her. After seeing other lawyers representing their clients at the first meeting, trust me you’re going to want her on your side! Barbie was kind, compassionate, and extremely thorough. She spoke to me like a person, never putting me down. I could call her 10PM on a weekday, or 8AM on a weekend and she’d always get back to me as soon as possible. My husband and I would love to thank Barbie for everything, and for finally being able to get our financial lives back! My husband and I had a considerable amount of credit card debt along with two student loans between us. The minimum payments were getting out of control and the student loans were unreasonable, and wouldn't work with us. We couldn't get ahead. I didn't know where to turn, so I googled bankrubcy and searched for a highly rated attorney. After reading countless reviews, and feeling a bit uncertain, I decided to put in a request for Barbie to contact me. Early the next morning I received a call from Barbie, explaining the whole process and going over details of our situation. She told me exactly what information we needed to gather and kept in touch often, while assuring me that everything is going to be ok. Barbie is one of the most caring, and wonderful person I have ever met. She was never judgmental, and always listened. She's available all the time, and I mean ALL THE TIME. She called my husband and I to go over the chapter 13 plan on a Sunday! Amazing. I've emailed her with many questions, and she was always quick to respond. At the 341 meeting we were able to listen in on other people's cases and the whole time Barbie assured us we were going to be fine. She gave pointers of what to say and what not to say. It's amazing how many lawyers didn't have their information in order. Papers misssing, wrong information, plans not complete. Barbie on the other hand had everything in order. When I say my husband and I got up faster than we sat im not exaggerating! We seriously were the quickest ones with not even one question asked to use except "where do we bank". Today, my husband received a call, as well as an emailing stating that our chapter 13 plan was approved! We don't even have to attend the court meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow. I couldn't be happier, Barbie saved us so much and finally some money can go to our student loans (which won't be discharged) and credit cards. We cannot thank Barbie enough! Thank you so much for a piece of mind as well as looking forward to a fresh start and better future! Corinne & Nick

Thank you so much Barbie!!!!!

Due to some unfortunate circumstances in my life which caused overwhelming financial challenges, I began looking for a bankruptcy attorney to help me. I found Barbie when I googled, best bankruptcy attorney in NYC. I gave her a call and she answered the phone. I was surprised. From my first convers...ation with her I felt at ease. Barbie is professional, knowledgeable and empathetic. I knew everything would be fine after speaking with her. She also directed me to other agencies to assist me with family issues I needed assistance with. Before I knew it my bankruptcy petition was filed and we completed the 341 meeting. What Barbie did for me she can do for you. If you work with her and follow her directions Barbie can guide you through the process. She makes a difficult process so much easier. Barbie is an extremely knowledgeable and well rounded attorney who I am blessed to have worked with on my bankruptcy. This process was a great success! All hats off the Barbie!

Went out of her way to guide me.

I called on Saturday afternoon. I did not leave a message, but she returned my call maybe 3 minutes later. Took her time to explain in detail all the steps I had to take to settle my issue. Very knowledgeable and efficient if I could give her 100 stars I would. Called me back twice to make sure I und...erstood everything. Thank you very much for your time and knowledge. I truly appreciate it.
