Thank You Barbie!

My Bankruptcy, Chapter 13 was confirmed.. I can finally sleep at night. After going through debt consolidation and a fast talking bankruptcy lawyer I hit a home run by contacting Barbie Lieber. Barbie Lieber took an embarrassing and stressful situation and turned into a manageable financial situati...on. She answered all my questions and hand held me throughout the bankruptcy process. I can't thank her enough for her knowledge and nonjudgmental attitude. She is an amazing lawyer. To anyone considering bankruptcy, Barbie Lieber should be your go to Lawyer.

Barbie Lieber Pulls Off Another Victory for Us, First with Bankrutpcy and Now with My Student Loans!

Barbie Lieber pulled off another 100% victory for us. She just actually got my private student lender to discharge my huge debt! Unbelievable!!! Thank you so much Barbie! And again, I know I have thanked you a zillion times, but thank you so much for filing the chapter 7 for my wife and me a few y...ears ago. As you know, we were able to refinance our house recently for a much lower rate because we had no credit card and medical debt due to the bankruptcy and because you resolved the private student loan debt!T hank you for your extraordinary thoroughness, patience and honesty. Other lawyers told us that we had to file chapter 13, but after spending the time carefully analyzing our debts, you concluded that you could file a chapter 7 and you were right. You have relieved us of so much stress. Thank you for being there for my wife as well all of these years. And thanks for always taking my calls and responding to my emails. Fondly, Sean

Extraordinary Bankruptcy Attorney

I am a client of Ms. Barbie Lieber and she not only helped me to get the student loan companies off of my back for years to come, but she also cared about my mental well-being and was empathetic enough to help me to find a psychiatrist and a therapist for my issues with depression, which were exacerb...ated by my financial situation and insurmountable student loan debt. I loved the fact that she was willing to go above and beyond her duties to make sure that I would be ok from now on. I would recommend her highly.

Debt consultation

I called for a debt consultation when a creditor was garnishing my paychecks. I was given very good advice for my situation even though it probably wasn't in the best financial interest for her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a honest advice.

Beating Student Loans

Thank you Barbie Lieber for doing the impossible—settling my $105,000 Sallie Mae student loans so quickly and for a fraction of the amount allegedly owed. After completed a Masters Degree at a top university, I left with an education, a diploma, and, a massive student loan with Sallie Mae. The l...oan compiled with interest and fees over a number of years and just like anybody with student loans I felt burdened and this sense that it would never end. After University, I was a part of a start-up company that ultimately did not work out, in the meantime Sallie Mae dropped to the background as a priority, but what didn't were the interest and fees. After a few years of ignoring the loan, a lawsuit was filed and a judgment obtained against me, while it may have seemed inevitable, it still felt like a shock. Now with me trying to pursue a different career path, the loan felt like an even greater source of stress, only now it was represented by a legal team. I Interviewed a bunch of debt settlement lawyers in New York to defend me who said it was impossible to settle with Sallie Mae/SLM Private Credit Student Trust and its successors , at least not in any significant way. Moreover the advice was given convincingly and unequivocally, especially given that a judgment for over $105,000 had already been obtained by Sallie Mae against me. But things changed when I called debt settlement lawyer, Barbie Lieber, for the first time, I heard Barbie ‘s enthusiasm and eagerness to help me. I felt calm and like I might just have a chance at doing something here. Within a very short time of retaining her, Barbie was able to move to vacate the judgment and settle the amount owed for a small fraction of what was owed-only $15,000!! Her attitude was relentless. I never in a million years imagined she’d be able to settle for as low as she did. ... that was a different kind of shock for me. Barbie Lieber always kept me abreast of her strategy. She responded to calls and emails immediately. I felt that she kept me in the loop and I was a part of a team. Dealing with loans as long as I had, you always feel on the back foot; but, with Barbie Lieber I felt a shift in the balance, all of a sudden a sense they are outmatched. At the end she negotiated the settlement agreement to protect me. Unknown to me, it is astounding how tricky the terms of a settlement can be; it is not just getting to a final number; there is a further level of meticulous strategy needed to ensure your deal is solid and memorialized in writing so as to provide me with complete protection. I feel a lot of us get an unfair shake when it comes to student loans; you get the sense of a never-ending battle with the chips stacked against you that leads to a lifelong debt. If you want a chance at shifting the balance Barbie Lieber is the way to go. Now that this debt is settled, I am so relieved. Thank you Barbie.
