I met Barbie Lieber in Spring if 2019 and it feels like she saved my life.

I met Barbie Lieber in Spring if 2019 and it feels like she saved my life. I was in a real mess. You are never quite sure how you get to this point, I am a professional person with a job on Wall Street, but things were spiraling out of control. My Chapter 13 Bankruptcy stemmed from a very bad div...orce with crushing property settlement and attached IRS debt. When I met Barbie I had filed Chapter 13 twice before but both were dismissed (an out of state previous lawyer, inexperienced in SDNY courts took us down a dark path). It felt like no one in New York City would touch me. I had been trying to file Chapter 13 pro se (all by myself) for a third time with the same 2 creditors but it blew up in my initial 341 meeting of creditors. The Trustee basically said wrong forms go back and try again (have you guys seen all those forms?). Well I decided if this was going to work I needed to hire an attorney and luckily found Barbie Lieber, truthfully The Best Bankruptcy Chapter 13 Attorney in all of NYC. I knew it had to be Barbie because my first court appearance in SDNY (while trying to file in my own) and waiting to go in front of Judge Cecelia G Morris, an excellent, very fair Judge, I saw Barbie and how she interacted with the Trustee and the how much the Judge listened to her and how smooth everything was going for her clients. I had also seen her working with her clients at my first 341 meeting of the creditors and her clients were sailing through! There is obviously much more to this story but as we wound our way through this Chapter 13 process and I believe this was one of her most challenging, she never wavered. First, the mutual respect between Barbie and the Trustee and Judge were invaluable. Second, she was always thinking about the case and thinking outside of the box for solutions to any problems that arose, and there were a lot of them. Third, she was always fully prepared and made sure I was fully prepared for what we were currently dealing with and what was to come and she was always there to answer all of my many questions day or night. My Chapter 13 filing was confirmed in fall of 2019. In my opinion you will not find better Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney than Barbie Lieber and you would be lucky if she decided to take on your case.

Chapter 7 successful bankruptcy attorney!

Barbie is very straight forward and takes the time necessary to asses if you are or not eligible to file bankruptcy. Her method and series of questions is accurate and efficient to lead in a successful case. She’s well experienced and knowledgeable and, I would recommend her to any business associate... that needs Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 legal advise. Bravo Barbie to the best bankruptcy attorney and a great job, I’m debt free!

An Excellent NYC Bankruptcy attorney!!

In November of 2018 I realized it was time to take action on my financial situation. I called around to a couple of highly rated bankruptcy attorneys. I didn't receive calls back from two. One said they couldn't help me. I found Barbie via internet. She contacted me expediently. I spoke with her abou...t the process. She took her time with me and explained the process. During the entire process she made herself available to answer my questions and concerns. On court day she was professional and knowledgeable . She is confident and competent and I was not nervous in court at all. Bankruptcy is not an easy situation to deal with. Barbie made it as painless as possible. She made sure that I was in a much better position than I came to her in . Hopefully I won't have to this but I would recommend her to my family and friends if the need arose. Barbie is an Excellent NYC bankruptcy attorney!!!

I cannot recommend Barbie enough! She was very thorough in questioning us at the start of our process to make sure we filed for the best option possible. She prepared us before our 341 meeting, constantly made herself available for questions on the whole process and put us at ease during this diffi...cult and sometimes scary process. We always felt we were in good hands and were being given the best advice possible. We'd experienced some bad legal advice in the past, which put us in a difficult situation, but that is NOT the case with her! I can 100% recommend her services! I hope I'll never have to use her services again myself, but please use her with confidence!

Amazing Lawyer

I can't begin to express my gratitude for Barbie Lieber. I've been struggling with the complications of my current Chapter 7 bankruptcy, tremendous amounts of debt, divorce and the closure of my business. I have no shortage of issues that make my case difficult to manage. I reached out to Barbie out ...of desperation and confusion on what to do. She talked with me for over 45 minutes and offered sincere compassion, honesty and solid information to move forward with. Having met with a discussed my case with 7 other lawyers, including one that I put on retainer and filed with, none begin to come close to the respectful insight she provided. She is knowledgable, friendly and I can't advocate enough for working with her. I deeply regret that I wasn't aware of her services before I invested in another lawyer. Going through the bankruptcy process is not easy and having professional, experienced representation is critical. Please learn from my mistakes and hire Barbie to help you.
