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.

Drowning in financial difficulties, but rescued by an excellent lawyer, Barbie Lieber

Drowning in financial difficulties, I was overwhelmed with shame. I also felt shame in the prospect of filing for bankruptcy, so it was the last thing that I would have expected to do. However, my husband went ahead and scheduled an appointment with Barbie Lieber. The prospect of bankruptcy caused me... to be anxious. However, as soon as I met Barbie and heard her speaking about the whole process to file a chapter 13, I felt instant relief because she gave me confidence and made me feel that things would be all right. Her professionalism, focus on the details, explanation about this bankruptcy process, motivation, good timely manner and effectiveness made me think that we were in good hands and helped ease the process. She made me us recognize this process as part of a human situation in life, as a common thing that could happen to anyone in a daily basis. We want to thank Barbie because she gave us great advice to wait to file the bankruptcy until we actually signed the loan modification agreement for our first mortgage so that we could be assured that we would not have to redo the whole loan modification process once in bankruptcy. Thank you so much for that. Finally, the level of anxiety went down the day of court. We finally could get through this in a confident and effective manner because we got to court an hour earlier than the time assigned and Barbie was there early to prepare us and gave us the best orientation possible before the court time. We successfully excelled in front of the judge because of Barbie’s professional preparation. I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about what other people I know said to me about the bad process they went through with bankruptcy court process. However, it was not like that for us, because Barbie had everything in order and under control due to her very well knowledgeable professional experience for us. Also, during our day in court, it was terrible to see other people who were with lawyers who did not prepare them with all the documentation necessary for the judge, not even having a simple Social security or an identification card or other important documentations. I also witnessed clients waiting for lawyers who never showed up to court, while our Barbie prepared us in such a professional way. Barbie was always available for any questions we had. I consider Barbie a wonderful lawyer that I would recommend her to any one. She was very precise with the explanation on the forms she has to render to the court on the schedule J and I. She prepared these forms so well that even the judge did not question the forms too much; that’s how good they were prepared in a truly and accurate way. Barbie is so thorough. She calls over and over to us to strategize with us for our meeting; thinking of all the questions that could be asked of us and we were prepared to answer them with confident in front of the trustee. She prepared all the documents so thoroughly, the trustee only asked us just three to four questions and the process resulted in the closing of the hearing. This great lawyer is she treated us all the time with dignity, respect and showed compassion and support; however, I don’t have more words to gratify her for the wonderful work she did with us representing us as a Bankruptcy lawyer. We Thank God we found Barbie in our path, I think she is like an angel from God, to relieve us and wake us up from our nightmare we went through all these years with all the debts we had. We will always appreciate her dedication and good treatment she had for us, Thanks to Barbie, now we can have a secure and pleasant sleep at night. Finally, we just heard the wonderful news that Barbie was able to successfully strip off an

Call Barbie for Great Bankruptcy Assistance

My case was not a simple one.  My business had failed, the landlord was suing and personal debt was overwhelming.  Barbie Lieber took all the information, separated it, and began a strategy.  Ms. Lieber was thorough, well versed in the applicable law, and innovative.    When it came to showing up ...in court, not only was counsel fully prepared, but she had me so well prepared that I felt completely confident.  The trustee seemed pleased that he had counsel and client who were well prepared and respectful.   The outcome of the case was excellent.  Barbie-because of your competence, my mind was at rest.  On a professional and personal level...Thank You.   Ron G.

Above and beyond my expectations!

When I finally made the difficult decision to file for bankruptcy I knew I would need legal help. My experience with attorneys has made me somewhat hesitant to employ and to trust them. I found Barbie by searching through many reviews online where I was intrigued by all of the positive feedback s...he had received from clients and other attorneys alike. She is not only liked and respected in her field but has made a personal impression on each of the people she has helped. From the moment I spoke with Barbie on the phone all of my fears were put at ease. She very kindly took the time to listen to my entire story and gave me valuable feedback on my situation. From there we set up a meeting and the rest was history. The entire process was so much easier with Barbie's help and vigilant attentiveness. She responded within minutes to every email that I sent her and many times followed it up with a phone call. It was obvious that she cared about my case and that she took the time to make herself very familiar with me and my particular circumstances. At the 431 meeting she was there early and fully prepared to run through final preparations with me and to meet with the trustee. Barbie went far beyond my expectations of an attorney and I will not hesitate to contact her again if I need legal help. I would highly recommend Barbie to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, competent and attentive help with their legal matters.

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!!!
