Best of the best!

Great bankruptcy lawyer! Barbie is a very sweet and patient lawyer who goes out of her way to make the bankruptcy process go smoothly. She showed care and conscientiousness when handling my Chapter 7. Her prices are very competitive, after calling around I found that she was the cheapest with no hid...den fees. She is very accessible to her clients, unlike like many lawyers. When you call, she takes your call. She returned all of my calls and emails within 24 hours. Court proceedings can be stressful but having Barbie in my corner made things run smoothly. It’s also great that her office is centrally located and easy to get to (across the street from Grand Central and near all of the subways). If she’s not there you can drop things off at your convenience during non-business hours. I would recommend Barbie Lieber to anyone looking for the best.

The Absolute Best!!!!!

My wife and I were drowning in over $80,000 in debt and we weren't sure if we were going to be eligible for a chapter 7 bankruptcy because of our incomes. So we met with barbie and she explained thoroughly to us the process of filing a chapter 7 and assured us that everything would be ok and that sh...e could get us out of debt completely. Let me tell you, Not only were we able to file chapter 7 Barbie was with us throughout the entire process step by step explaining how everything works! She actually sat with us through the 341 hearing (Bankruptcy court). She's kind, polite, She's Very knowledgeable and she just make you feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. Barbie Thank you so much, because of you we have turned over a new leaf and we can begin a new chapter in our lives knowing that everything will be ok!

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy - Barbie's the Best!

I was in a horrible financial situation at the end of my marriage, thanks primarily to my ex-husband mismanaging our finances. I was concerned that I earned too much income to qualify for a chapter 7, even though I was essentially a single mother of two young kids residing in a high cost of living ar...ea. I met with Barbie for a consultation and was immediately comfortable with her professionalism, thoroughness, warmth and genuine concern. She made sure to get all the details relevant to my case (down to the penny), confirmed and then reconfirmed, and communicated everything to me in a very detailed yet understandable manner. There were no hiccups, no hesitation and everything went smoothly. Once we were given an appearance date, she coached me thoroughly several times (especially since we were appearing before someone considered one of the most "difficult" trustees in the county). She prepared me for every question he could possible ask. I was nervous, but I didn't have to be. She came with me to court, sat by my side the whole time, had all the necessary documents and helped me through the entire ordeal - which to my surprise lasted mere minutes. We were in and out quickly, thanks to all the work Barbie put in. She herself was ecstatic as to how well it went, and we even hugged when we left the court. When you call Barbie, you get Barbie. Not an assistant, not a junior lawyer - you get her. Any time, anywhere, even at night or weekends or through text messages and emails. She responds promptly and is happy to help you with any questions you may have. Many lawyers out there advertise their services for a discount price, or try to wow you with showy offices, a large staff and flashy accoutrements. If you want that, fine. But if you want a lawyer that genuinely cares about your life and situation, someone who is knowledgable, experienced and detail oriented, someone who is interested solely in achieving the best resolution for you, go with Barbie.

Nothing better than having Barbie on your side for your bankruptcy!!!

I searched the web and was happy to have found Barbie. She was walking out of her office to head home when I first called her and instead of telling me "to call back tomorrow, she's done for the day", she took my call and heard me out. I was the one who had to cut the call short and she told me to ...call her back in an hour if I was able to and she would finish hearing me out at her home, or I can call her back the next day. I chose to call her an hour later and she picked up and finished consulting with me. She was very professional, informative, confident, affordable, sympathetic, reassuring and seemed very experienced and knowledgable. After speaking with a few other lawyers before and after her, I felt most comfortable and confident in her so I went ahead and retained her. She immediately sent me an email detailing everything she needed from me, even before I was able to meet and pay her, so we can quicken the process because she knew my urgency in getting filed as soon as possible. My case was not as simple over the phone when I was answering her questions and it got less simple when I met her in person and started going over all he paper work. The possibility of a Chapter 13 briefly came up but she did not waiver and at no point did she make me feel that she can't get me the Chapter 7 I wanted. Instead she reassured me that she can still get me approved for a Ch. 7. She flied me the same day I met her, as she said she would and stopped my garnishment immediately to where I even received a refund on my most recent payment. We met one more time at her office before the 341 meeting with the trustee and she did a role play of the possible questions the trustee might ask ask me. Then the morning of the actual 341 meeting, she met me early and told me about the trustee hearing my case once she saw who was hearing my case and reassured me even more that as long as I answered the questions we went over the other day and again that morning, that I will be approved without much doubt. She sat right next to me during the hearing and I literally thought I was still role playing with Barbie because all the questions I had to answer I already heard from Barbie. Actually fewer questions were asked and not as detailed as Barbie's so I guess I was over prepared which is never a bad thing. I felt ready for any question. It went so fast that I didn't even know we were done and Barbie was more excited than me after. I thought we had more to go lol so didn't get excited until I directly said to her "So hold up' that's it? No other hearing or anything?". She said unless a creditor disputes it, which she has never seen her 25 plus years, it's over and just wait for the final order. While sitting outside waiting for a form she had to fill out, she knew another lawyer that was there and they began chatting alil about my case and luckily for me, Macey & Aleman's Case came up in the convo. He just happened to be on that case and at both our requests, gave Barbie information about the case and which court is handling it so f I chose to, I can try and recoup my fees paid to them if any monies is ceased from them. The lawyer said that the Courts were going after Macey and didn't approve the bankruptcy. Barbie then informed me of what I had to do to get my name on the claims list and offered to help me for a very small fee. I agreed and she sent me a detailed email with instructions on what to do, attached with the court form I had to file and even a sample Macey claim from another claim filed. It was easy as can be thanks to her. My official discharge paper came in the mail about 3 weeks ago. Barbie was heaven sent and would most definitely recommend her to anybody I know.
