An Absolutely Amazing Human being....

I was going thru debt problems and had no money to pay my bills. Earning a low salary and being a single mom is very hard to live and survive in NY. I had choice other than to file for Bankruptcy. I found Barbie online, I read all the reviews. I didn't think about it twice and called her. Since day o...ne she's being nothing but helpful, caring and extremely professional. More than a lawyer she's like a friend. She helped me with the process and was always there for any questions I had. She's very understanding, caring and a big life changer, I will say. Thanks to Barbie I can finally sleep and have less stress. I will recommend her to any family member, friend, colleague etc... Barbie I must say you are and extraordinary person and I’m very thankful for all you did for me.Thank You

From Overwhelmed & Confused to Clear & Relieved - Thanks to Barbie!

I was feeling ashamed, overwhelmed & bewildered by my credit card debt. Especially since I had walked away from a large salary & very successful career just a few years ago to pursue more meaningful, personally fulfilling creative endeavors. With every month I had to pay out enormous minimum payment...s, the guilt and doubt racked up as well, making me feel like a failure. I knew I had to do something but frankly I was scared to take any kind of action. I was stuck, frustrated, misinformed, not totally understanding my options or even who to trust to help me. I found this site and all these glowing reviews for Barbie after reading one of her clear & helpful responses to someone who had posted a question about bankruptcy. I'm so glad that I reached out to her - she is organized & professional but also incredibly generous with her time. She helps you take action and move forward to complete the process. She's not pushy, she's just an excellent leader - simply determined to get you out of that rut you're in. She put me at ease right away, as she was very interested in getting to know me as a person and to learn more about my personal journey. And she moved me to action. The whole process took mere weeks and just the other day, as we exited the courthouse and she congratulated me - I finally felt a huge weight lifted off me. If I were to give advice to anyone facing the same situation that I was in, I would tell them to take action by calling Barbie, and to let her lead you the rest of the way.

Filing bankruptcy is scary no matter what. Barbie was informed, patient and affordable. I received a million dollar lawyer for pennies!

Excellent Attorney

Barbie Lieber was excellent. Because I own a business, my corporate attorney advised me to find a very good bankruptcy attorney if I wanted to keep my business. And I found one. Yes, my case was more complicated than most, but even some of the simple cases were not discharged because of an incompet...ent attorney. The trustee was several hours behind schedule the day of my hearing so I heard many cases. Barbie's attention to detail and thorough understanding of the process got me my discharge, and I was able to keep my business I interveiwed at least 6 attorneys before choosing Barbie. Some of the attorney's gave me information that I knew was inaccurate (there are some very bad bankruptcy attorneys out there). Two attorneys told be to sell my business before I filed becuase it would be taken from me. However, when I called Barbie, she discussed in length (about 20 minutes) over the phone of how she could get me through the process. She prepared my case so well, the trustee only asked one question, then granted my discharge without me having to surrender my company. The trustee told me that Barbie did an excellent job. Of the 20-30 cases I heard prior to my case being called, it was the only compliment I heard the trustee give any attorney. Several cases were not discharged because the attorney did not complete all the necessary forms or completed them inaccurately. Barbie is so thorough that she called me over the weekend a couple of times to stategize for the 341 meeting. She was thinking of all the questions that could have been asked of me so I would be prepared. You don't want to sound unsure of yourself in front of the trustee. But because she prepared all the documents so thoroughly, the trustee only asked my one simple question. My bankruptcy was mostly because of personal guarantees on business debt so my company was being sued as well. Barbie gave me excellent advice on how to repsond to these suits without even charging me. That is how much she will go above and beyond for her clients.

Barbie is the BEST!

I contemplated filing for bankruptcy for awhile. After feeling completely overwhelmed with my debts I decided to search online for a bankruptcy lawyer. A bunch of attorneys emailed me back but Barbie called me right away! I hit it off with Barbie instantly. She gave me a quick phone consultation and ...arranged a time for me to come in and told me what to come in with. She made me feel very comfortable and although I was nervous and scared, I left there thinking I made the right choice and definitely picked the right person to help me through this scary process. After our meeting any time I had a question or a concern she would always reply promptly. She was very attentive and caring. I would definitely recommend Barbie to all my family and friends!
