Brilliant & Remarkable

There are not enough words to express how happy we were to have Barbie as our legal counsel. As unsecured lenders to former friends who filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying back their loan, we were certain that there was little to no hope in recovering any funds. Barbie guided us through the whole ...process offering a multitude of options that can be taken, and detailing the pros and cons of each. She is always swift in responding to any questions, whether it’s via email or phone. Any updates relating to our case were immediately passed on to us. Working with Barbie felt like having a family member fighting right beside us, always looking out for our best interest. As our case comes to a close, it looks like we’ll be able to recover, if not all, a large portion of the loan. Even if the outcome was different, we still hold Barbie in the highest regard. Her work ethic is unparalleled, and we are so lucky to have her as our attorney.

Exceptional Lawyer & Outstanding Human Being

I have worked in the legal field for over 15 years and know many good lawyers but Barbie Lieber is a star among stars. Not only is she is an excellent lawyer (sharp, spot on with respect bankruptcy law, meticulous and thorough) but also an outstanding human being. My case was not simple (it involve...d some assets which Barbie Lieber was able to protect - legally). She listens carefully to her clients, holds no punches, advises what is possible and proceeds from there. After a divorce and career hiccup, I found myself in an unfortunate, impossible financial position. It was a difficult, scary and painful decision but bankruptcy made sense. It was a chance to start new. I was overwhelmed with debt and creditors were getting increasingly aggresive - to the point where I thought I would lose my job (they started to call work). I consulted with another lawyer (on a referral) but he was just not up to snuff and not responsive. After reading Barbie Lieber's testimonials and speaking with her initially, I knew this was the lawyer for me. She explained the process, prepared meticulously, anticipated where there may be problems with the Trustee and prepared me for the 341 meeting. I just returned from that meeting (it went well) and words cannot explain how grateful and fortunate I am for having Barbie Lieber represent me. I feel like a huge burden has been lifted and I am hopeful for the first time in a long time. Highly recommend, don't waste your time on mediocre lawyers (like I did initially) -- this is too important. Been there. Grateful and in awe, Joy

Excellent Attorney

Bankruptcy is uncomfortable enough, but Ms. Lieber made the process easier due to her thorough knowledge of the law and her caring attention. I visited four other lawyers before settling on Ms. Lieber. One was pushy and wanted to rush me through the process, another seemed disinterested, and so on.... It wasn't until I visited the offices of Lieber and Lieber that I felt I was really listened to and my specific questions were answered. I highly recommend Ms. Lieber for anyone dealing with financial issues.

Absolutely the Best Bankruptcy Attorney

After trying for almost two years to manage mounting credit card bills, payment arrangements, and ever-increasing tax assessments, I reluctantly concluded that I should file for bankruptcy. My case was not straightforward; it was complicated by the fact that my personal finances overlapped with inco...me received from a small business operation, and I had personal tax liens filed against me. In deciding to file for bankruptcy, I knew I would need to engage an attorney who would not only defend my interests but one who would take a personal interest in my case. Barbie Lieber is just such an attorney. Indeed, I had consulted with two other attorneys prior to meeting with her. When my initial consultation with Barbie was over, I knew that I had found the kind of attorney I was looking for – the kind of attorney that I could trust. Barbie will never view you or treat you as merely “just another client”. She is not only an extremely capable attorney with a great deal of experience with bankruptcy cases as complex as mine, she has the added quality that anyone going through the turmoil of bankruptcy really needs – empathy. Barbie is genuinely concerned about how you, as a person, will manage AFTER the bankruptcy proceedings have concluded, and she’s not hesitant about offering you advice in that regard. If you are fortunate to have Barbie represent you before the Bankruptcy trustee (and she will be there with you in person – she does not outsource your case to some unknown lawyer as other firms sometimes do) you’ll find that Barbie has prepared you –over and over again - for every possible contingency. She leaves no detail, no matter how small, unattended. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Barbie; and she will always have my undying gratitude for the manner in which she handled my case. I wholeheartedly recommend her to you without any reservations whatsoever.

Legal excellence

Barbie Lieber went above and beyond my expectations of any bankruptcy attorney (and with flying colors). I came to Miss Lieber as a young person in financial trouble, not sure what needed to be done, but knowing action needed to be taken. Barbie Lieber is extremely personable, and helped me consi...der my options, and provided her recommendations. She kept me in the loop 100% of the way - my questions never went unanswered nor concerns unaddressed. She was punctual with her calls, emails, and meetings. Her vast knowledge of filing bankruptcy, the process, procedures and even the people (i.e, trustees) left me feeling completely comfortable in her care. Barbie Lieber comes with my full recommendation for anyone even just considering bankruptcy - not sure where I'd be without her help.
