The Best Lawyer In New York!!

My family and I was referred to Barbie Lieber by a family friend. My parents were in the process of losing their house to foreclosure; Barbie was able to reach an agreement with the bank to forbear hold off from foreclosing. To enable another property being sold then use the proceeds of sale to pay ...off the foreclosing bank. Barbie is a lIfe and homesaver!!, she puts her all in what she does. My family and I would like to THANK YOU for all your hard work.

My Champion!

I was referred to Barbie Lieber by my tax accountant after it became clear that I would not be able to come out from under life events that had left my finances in a shambles. Bankruptcy was not something that I was comfortable with and I had put off the inevitable much longer than I should have. Bar...bie took my call immediately and said that she would make time to meet with me the next day. Within an hour of our initial phone call she'd sent me an email recapping all that we had discussed and listing the paperwork that she needed me to bring along to our scheduled appointment. Her office is very conveniently located right across the street from Grand Central Station. Barbie was on time and on point. We sat together and went through all of my paperwork piece by piece. Her brilliant mind is so quick and with her vast knowledge of the bankruptcy arena she knows exactly what is needed and what is extraneous. She gets right to the meat of the matter, all the while advising you on what applies to your particular situation. Given my extreme financial straits, she worked with me on a payment plan for the fees and advised me how to track my expenses in the months leading up to filing. After assessing a true and in depth overview of my finances, she was very open with me about what options were available to me and how I should proceed. We set upon a plan and over the next six months she would check in with me from time to time just to make sure everything was still on track and that I was doing all that she had advised. She knows her stuff inside and out and shares her expertise with such a generosity of heart that you feel more like family than just another client, her tenacity and dedication is that strong. Barbie Lieber takes a vested interest in you, giving life advice and good counsel along the way. Just as an example, when I lost my job, she encouraged me to contact my employer to get continued insurance for another month, which I did and got!!! She also encouraged me to apply for food stamps which was a great help and she has even given me suggestions on how to earn money while I am looking for permanent employment. On the day of the final hearing I felt very blessed to have her in my corner. She was literally sitting by my side the entire time, keeping me calm and assuring me everything was going to be alright. The time she spent prepping me the day before was invaluable. While I was always impressed and appreciative of Ms. Lieber's talents, witnessing all of the other unfortunate souls that were there for the same purpose, but sadly, unrepresented or worse, represented badly, my gratitude grew ten-fold. Having Barbie walk me through the process with such confidence and understanding was tantamount to my ultimately positive outcome. I highly recommend Barbie Lieber, a wonderful New York City Bankruptcy Attorney! She is honest, has integrity and knows the law.

One of the most important phone calls I've ever made...

My 20's were a turbulent time and I made many bad decisions; one of those decisions was neglecting to pay my student loan. A $28,000 judgement was filed against me and my elderly mother, who co-signed the loan. Wage garnishment letters were being sent to my employer and I feared my bank account would... be frozen. Not knowing where to turn and unable to come up with the money to pay the judgement, I was finally desperate enough to confront the issue. I spoke with several lawyers who spoke fast and asked for large retainers up front. Not comfortable with the consultations I had received up to that point, I read the reviews for Barbie on this site and decided to give her a call. I was nervous and did not know what to expect but her personality and professionalism put me at ease. Rather than try to bedazzle me with legalese or stories of being golfing buddies with my creditors, she offered clear explanations and pragmatic solutions that worked within my current financial parameters. After discussing various options, Barbie was able to negotiate a settlement for less than one-third of what I owed and I was able to save up and borrow enough to pay the settlement. I can not describe the sense of relief that I felt when I sent the final payment or imagine trying to settle this debt without a lawyer as adept as her. I am now on the way to financial "recovery" am grateful to Barbie for her help. To anyone reading this who feels like there's no way out from underneath the burden of their debt, pick up the phone and give yourself a chance. The problem won't go away on its own and you don't have to face it alone. Finding a good lawyer that will fight for you is a great first step and Barbie is an exceptional candidate. Give her a call.

In financial trouble? Don't even think about considering another attorney!!!

If you are in need of expert legal financial assistance, do not go any further!! Aside from being a very comforting person for the client to communicate with , on the legal end she is an extremely proficient attorney, sharp as a tack, a firm, tough negotiator and tireless worker. Once retained, Ms.... Lieber kept me apprised constantly as to the status of my action and obtained a settlement in a few days that I am still amazed she was able to achieve. Take my advise, if you want expert legal representation, confident that your best interests are being considered at all times, Ms. Lieber is the attorney to use.

KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CARING LAWYER

We had no idea how we were going to fix our financial situation credit cards, parent loans, loans. We contacted Barbie at a time when we were very nervous about what we were going to do. She was an amazing lawyer who became our friend thru the process. She is extremely knowledgeable in bankruptcy ...law. She stood by us every step of the way, answered all of our questions, returned our calls and emails immediately. She was able to get our debt amounts from $3600 per month to $1400 per month. She prepped us for our hearing and stood by us from start to finish. We are grateful for all she did to help us get back on track for our financial security. We recommend her highly.
