Barbie is a lifesaver!

I finally made the difficult decision this year to come to terms and tackle head first all of my issues - health wise, physically, emotionally, financially, etc. I was tired and fed up with myself and the direction my life was going so I decided to take action, and filing for bankruptcy was one of t...hose scary decisions I had to make. I researched plenty of lawyers online, spoke with a few and even went to meet one for a free consultation which was horrible. The guy wouldn't even look me in the eye as he was going through my information and basically throughout the entire meeting! I knew I would just be another number to him and that scared me because this is my life and livelihood on the line. I called Lieber & Lieber after doing additional research and spoke to Barbie. What an amazing difference! From the very first call and meeting, Barbie took the time to get to know me, my situation, my fears and worries - she made me feel comfortable and reassured that not only was I doing the right thing in taking ownership over my debt but also that I wasn't alone in the process which is so important. She walked me through every single step of the process and with such amazing attention to detail that I finally could see a light at the end of this long dark financial tunnel. Whenever I had questions about anything (and I had many!), Barbie would return my calls or email me back so quickly with precise, informative answers that truly showcased her knowledge and expertise. She even took the initiative and would call me with updates and progress/status reports which was surprising to me but so unbelievably comforting. What lawyer does that? The day of the 341 meeting, Barbie met me early and prepped me with the appropriate ways to answer the judges questions and reviewed my information again to ensure I was as prepared as possible. She had all the documents and anything/everything that could be needed with her. She was so prepared, and the judges know this about her and respect her for it! She was the only lawyer in the room like that, the other ones were disasters. Some didn't even have their client's basic info with them, I couldn't believe it! And the judge called them out for it immediately. Also, I had previously signed on to a debt consolidation firm which turned out to be a fraud and tried to take over $5,000 from me. Once Barbie heard that, she went above and beyond what her services should have been and called the company to get my money back. And she did! Barbie is a lifesaver and choosing her to represent my bankruptcy was the best decision I could have made. I am so thankful and grateful to her as a lawyer and as a person. I don't know what I would have done without her. Thank you again for everything Barbie!!!

Thank You Barbie

Barbie helped expedite my bankruptcy process flawlessly and seamlessly. For the 341 meeting she was prepared and anticipated ever possible need of the judge. Barbie prepared me in regards to what to expect, had all of my paperwork in order and nicely coordinated. While waiting for my meeting I notice...d other attorneys were not prepared and the judge did not hesitate to call them out. I was nervous, but with Barbie, it was quick, easy and painless. She was extremely prompt to return my calls, answer any questions and had this entire process done in no time. Thank you so much for helping me through such a complicated time in my life.

Saved Our Condo Purchase

We came into Lieber & Lieber with a broken dream. Our first home purchase had become a nightmare. After 9 months, we were unable to obtain financing because of specifics in the contract. We stood to lose our 10% deposit (for a NYC condo- that is a lot). Our previous lawyer failed to protect us from ...such an event. Needless to say, we fired him after we met Barbie. What Barbie did for us was nothing short of a miracle. Not only did she revise and renegotiate the contract, but she made sure it was iron clad with protections for us. She worked day and night, while sick and on vacation, to make sure everything was running smoothly. She was on top of all the issues (and there were many, so many). She resolved them quickly, professionally, and many times very creatively. She found solutions to problems that could have prevented the purchase that no one else thought about. In the end, after almost a year of struggling to finally have a home, Barbie got us to closing. We have keys in our hands today because Barbie moved mountains for us. And as if that weren't enough Barbie was so friendly, nice, and caring. We felt that she genuinely wanted this for us just as much as we wanted it. Barbie protected us and made us feel secure after so many months of uncertainty. She was not only the best lawyer we've ever met, but also one of the best people.
