We were in need of retaining a chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer and started to seriously look around late last year 2012. We spoke with 2 lawfirms and had made a lot of phone calls to other firms before we came upon the AVVO website and saw all the endless positive reviews about Barbie Lieber. We contac...ted her by email first and then after a few emails back and forth, Barbie just asked us for our phone number and she called us right away. We had a lot of concerns, as anyone would in filing chapter 7 and she spent the time with us on the phone. We spent a few days thinking it over and we called her back and retained her. She was able to expedite the filing process quickly, compared to other firms that were quoting a longer waiting time for filing. We were very prepared for the 341 mtg. and calmed my nerves. We have no regrets about any of it. The whole process was stressful at times but Barbie kept assuring us that everything would be okay. And true to her word, everything did work out. Thank you Barbie.

Transcripts after bankruptcy!

In april of 2009, I filed for bankruptcy. thinking all of my debts were clear. I reached out to one of the creditors, which was a college. In hopes of getting my transcripts, I reached out to the college to find out that the college was originally left out of the contract. the college and the collect...ion agency refused to acknowledge the release of the debt(since it was not a student loan, the debt can be legally discharged). after many attempts to talk to the collection agency, college and my previous attorney(with no help from them). no one was willing to help, that's when I found Barbie Lieber, she quickly took notes and got a grasp of my situation. she was able to determine that debt was discharged even though it was not included in the bankruptcy contract, there for leaving me eligible to receive a official transcript. she fired off a letter to both the college and the collection agency. getting the collection agency to refund a payment I sent in order to receive my transcripts and to clear my remaining balance, leaving me in good standing with both. Barbie was compassionate, efficient, and speedy, I hired Barbie 4/5/2013, by 4/15 I had a responses from the collection agency and a refund check in the mail. I truly will recommend barbie to all and any friend who needs helping in whatever field Barbie specializes in. As Barbie produces results and all her clients seems happy and satisfied with her services. In short, if you need something done quick and right Barbie is your Lawyer!!!! She literally left me over the moon!! I can now transfer to another college and proceed in growing towards my future! thank you so much Barbie!

Handled my complicated case with professionalism and understanding.

Though it might sound a bit counter intuitive, filing for bankruptcy was the first proactive thing I did after my financial life hit the skids, and hiring Barbie Lieber to represent me was one of the best choices during this entire experience. That might sound like hyperbole; by I was not in the posi...tion I was by making a lot of great choices. My financial situation was caused by poor business decisions that before I was able to put the brakes on had left me penniless and was a mountain of credit card debit. The fact that my bankruptcy filing should be handled differently then personal consumer debt wasn’t even something I was aware of until I spoke with Barbie. After deciding to file for bankruptcy I then had to figure out where to find a lawyer to help me do so. Since most people do not speak openly at cocktail parties about their bankruptcy filing it is tough to find a referral through friends or acquaintances. My initial Internet search brought me first to one lawyer whose office had closed up shop and then a consultation with a bankruptcy lawyer whose first question was whether I found them from their daytime TV ads or the bus advertising. They gave me a quick 20-minute consultation at the end of which they had no real grasp of my situation and I was back out on the street feeling like I could not do this. Dejected, it was another three months before I attempted again to find a lawyer and move forward with bankruptcy. I wish I could remember what words I used differently in my search query but I came across Barbie Lieber and the page you are currently reading this testimonial on. Reading through many of these, I was taken by how much came sincerity across in them, how different their experiences were from my first one. I called and spoke directly with Barbie. We were on the phone for over an hour. At the end of that phone call she had a firm grasp of my current financial situation and we had scheduled a meeting at her office. During the months that followed that initial meeting, Barbie was this amazing mix of professional and personal that I didn’t even know I would need in a lawyer. She understands the people that seek her services are often scared and at their wits end. Even though I was filing for bankruptcy, after every interaction with Barbie I felt more confident in my financial situation then I had in years. When it came time for my Section 341 hearing Barbie really went above and behind. We had a phone meeting the night before so she could talk me through what was going to happen at the courthouse and to reassure me that things were going to be fine, that we had done everything above board and proper so there should be no problems or surprises. Other testimonials have talked about how amazing she was in the meeting with the Trustee so indulge me as I echo their praise. Barbie was amazing. Once again she was professional as well as understanding of how nervous and vulnerable I was in that moment. I felt reassured with her there. After the hearing was over Barbie said to hold tight and that she felt confident that my discharge would be granted and I left believing her. Last week I heard from the court that my filing was successful. I am feeling better then I have in over two years and it is in great part to Barbie Lieber. She did more then just file paperwork for me, she made me feel confident again. Thank you.
