One of the most important phone calls I've ever made...

My 20's were a turbulent time and I made many bad decisions; one of those decisions was neglecting to pay my student loan. A $28,000 judgement was filed against me and my elderly mother, who co-signed the loan. Wage garnishment letters were being sent to my employer and I feared my bank account would... be frozen. Not knowing where to turn and unable to come up with the money to pay the judgement, I was finally desperate enough to confront the issue. I spoke with several lawyers who spoke fast and asked for large retainers up front. Not comfortable with the consultations I had received up to that point, I read the reviews for Barbie on this site and decided to give her a call. I was nervous and did not know what to expect but her personality and professionalism put me at ease. Rather than try to bedazzle me with legalese or stories of being golfing buddies with my creditors, she offered clear explanations and pragmatic solutions that worked within my current financial parameters. After discussing various options, Barbie was able to negotiate a settlement for less than one-third of what I owed and I was able to save up and borrow enough to pay the settlement. I can not describe the sense of relief that I felt when I sent the final payment or imagine trying to settle this debt without a lawyer as adept as her. I am now on the way to financial "recovery" am grateful to Barbie for her help. To anyone reading this who feels like there's no way out from underneath the burden of their debt, pick up the phone and give yourself a chance. The problem won't go away on its own and you don't have to face it alone. Finding a good lawyer that will fight for you is a great first step and Barbie is an exceptional candidate. Give her a call.

Barbie Lieber saved my financial life!

After receiving a notice of garnishment, I realized that I had to do something. I saw an Avvo commercial and posted my situation. Five attorneys responded within 15 minutes. Once I read Barbie Lieber’s response, I was sold. She spent over an hour on the phone with me and I felt very comfortable. ... I was drowning in debt and paying over $2,000 per month in credit card debt. I couldn’t put aside my quarterly taxes, therefore, sinking me further in debt. Barbie advised me to file ASAP and thank GOD I did. Two days later my bank account was frozen. However, since I filed before hand they had to release my funds. Now I’m in a chapter 13 plan for at least 60 percent LESS than what creditors were demanding. Until the bankruptcy, I risked falling behind on my mortgage, etc. Barbie Lieber surpassed my expectations and saved my family and me from financial ruin. I would highly refer her to anyone in need.

Outstanding Caring Amazing Person!! Very complicated Chapter 13 Case

I hired Barbie 6 months ago to help me in what I felt a helpless situation. I needed to do a Chapter 13 and my back was to the wall. Creditors hounding me day and night. After meeting Barbie the first day, I knew she was the right lawyer for me. She handled my case with such vigor that it felt sh...e was the one going through the ch13 and not me. She did not give up on my case when other bankruptcy lawyers did. We worked cohesively through that time while I provided all the information she requested. Very Professional and she was 100% focused on my case. She worked with me through the weekends and coached me through the entire process. Not once did I feel alone or confused. Barbie and I went through the whole process like a team. Watching Barbie in action at court was amazing. I can see why she is the best at what she does. I never write reviews but after all the hard work and wonderful outcome I am here sharing my experience. Barbie - Thank you so much for everything and I am recommending you to anyone that needs help. You truly are amazing!!

Barbie is the Best!!!

Barbie is the BEST! I'd recently fallen on hard times and realized I could no longer afford my everyday expenses because all my money was going to past debt and collections. After setting up a meeting with a different attorney who forgot I was coming on the day and time we scheduled, I searched the... net for another, I could meet with that day; of course I was unsuccessful. In the process I did come across Barbie who took the time to discuss at length the process of bankruptcy and how to move forward. Although she was unable to meet with me that day we made an appointment for the following day and the rest is history! She was informative, and extremely personable...Not only did she help me with my bankruptcy process from point A to Z but she also gave me real life tips for saving money and getting myself back on track financially. She gave budget friendly cooking advice as well as tips for creating extra income. I will say she was a little more expensive then some of the other attorney's I had researched but she was well worth every penny and my peace of mind is priceless! I would recommend her hands down to anyone! Thank You again Barbie! You're the Best!

Thank you for a job well done!

When I finally decided to file bankruptcy, my biggest fear is to find an excellent lawyer to represent me. Sought the help of the computer brought me to Avvo website, as I was browsing, when I saw the name of Barbie Lieber I had this feeling of confidence that Miss Barbie is the one to represent me.... It was the best decision I have ever made. She is an amazing lawyer she held me through the process, was able to make my difficult case possible, and was able to get back the garnishment. Very compassionate too, picks up the phone on the weekends, and prepared me before court date. The experience with Miss Barbie was overall amazing, Thank you very much !.
