The Absolute Best Bankruptcy Lawyer

I filed for Ch 13 and today I received my confirmation! A new beginning is ahead of me! The following is a token of a huge thank you to Barbie. Whenever I get into any crisis - I look for the top professional help I can find. I spotted Barbie on this site because she was at the top of the 5 sta...rs list, but I hired her after reading dozens upon dozens of reviews. Barbie is a brilliant grand master of her craft – she knows exactly what needs to be done to provide a smooth quick easy and successful process. This was exactly my experience. Barbie held my hand throughout, explained the next steps, answered all my questions and trained me for the creditor's meeting. She did it all with brilliance grace patience and compassion. Numerous times she kept telling me that I just worry too much when there is nothing to worry about… (she was absolutely right but I couldn’t help it being in unfamiliar territory.) Bottom line – the proof is in the results – if you are looking for a quick easy smooth and successful process – led by a brilliant expert bankruptcy lawyer who is also a wonderful person – save your time and look no further. Give Barbie a call – you’ll be glad you did.

Bankruptcy is stressful, Barbie is the lawyer that can get you through this process with minimal stress!

If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, call Barbie first! You want to make sure you have someone that will go work with patiently and thoroughly so that you can resume your normal life until you get your fresh start! There are lawyers out there that will just file your case that is quick a...nd convenient for them, leaving you with tons of questions that will go unanswered leaving you even more stressed out and anxious throughout the process. The first lawyer I hired could not be bothered to fix mistakes or answer my questions. I was getting so anxious and stressed out. It just felt like the whole case was going to end up being a mess. As I looked for better answers, I was lucky to find Barbie Lieber. During the initial call, she spent so much time getting the details of my case and she was empathetic about my concerns. She spent more time with me during that initial call than all the time I spent discussing my case with my first lawyer! After getting all the facts, she agreed to take on my case. I was still anxious and worried (a recurring theme for me with bankruptcy), but Barbie went through the process over again with me, fixing all the mistakes that had been made. She really put in the time and effort to make sure everything was perfect and really prepared me for the creditor's meeting. In addition to being great at her work, Barbie is also a wonderful person. She was so patient and kind during the whole process. I was such a worried mess, but she was sympathetic and helpful throughout the whole ordeal. Anytime something came up, I was always able to reach her and get the answers and help I need. She got my debt discharged and I am able to live life again with a fresh start! If you are considering bankruptcy, do yourself a favor, contact Barbie first! You will not find a better lawyer to help you! Good luck!

The best bankruptcy attorney!

I went through a major financial setback this past year with my wife having to go through several surgeries. The mental fatigue, battling with insurance to get them to pay, I ended up paying for a large chunk of the medical bills. It tipped the balance of the scale and thrust me into a bankrupt finan...cial situation where I couldn’t even afford to pay the minimums on my debt. I started reaching out to several attorneys to explain my situation, but they only cared to ask about my income and shut me down with a response that my income was above the means test and I would not qualify for Chapter 7. It seems most attorneys look for easy cases where they do not have to put any effort into. Barbie was the only attorney that took the time to really listen to my situation and with that was able to see that I indeed qualified for Chapter 7 when considering the medical expenses paid and the income lost due to having to stay at home to care for my wife. It didn’t stop there, she was proactive and reachable throughout the entire process, showing a lot of compassion. The customer service Barbie provides is unmatched by any attorney I had ever dealt with in the past. I would recommend Barbie to anyone going through financial hardship needing legal help!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ADVOCATE FOR HER CLIENTS

I found Barbie through this website, after browsing her innumerable, outstanding reviews. I was exasperated - I had already met with NO FEWER THAN FOUR bankruptcy lawyers, all of whom had flippantly told me that the best they could do for me would be a quick, 100% plan (for a Chapter 13 - the monthly... payments for which would be totally impossible!!), and all of whom wanted to charge me just for a consultation. Feeling defeated, I called Barbie at 4:55pm on a Friday... she answered, and spent a full 30 minutes with me on the phone, assuring me that "we could do much better." She met me the following Monday, and - simply - changed my life. We spent two hours going over my entire financial history and habits... Barbie is not only a bankruptcy lawyer, she is a FINANCIAL ADVISOR. She suggested I make small changes that, I'm certain, will have profound, long-lasting effects on my financial well-being. I walked out of that meeting feeling, for the first time in a full year, FREE of concern and worry: she made me feel safe and proud of the decision I was about to make. The following six months, Barbie stayed in touch with me, guiding my bankruptcy process until our 341 meeting. She was with me throughout the entire meeting, arguing for the best, most reasonable plan for me, despite the trustee's attempts to complicate certain issues. She was resolute and determined to fight for my complete rights as a debtor, and put forth a Chap 13 plan that would SUCCEED. Most importantly, she was thorough, enthusiastic, and steadfast in her work. SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES AND LOVES HER CLIENTS. Months later, at the confirmation hearing, we walked in, and walked out - my plan was confirmed by the trustee, no questions asked. Barbie had obviously done her homework, prepared my case, and knew exactly how to have it confirmed, with no further effort on my part. We were thrilled - Barbie, with tears in her eyes, hugged me and congratulated ME on our success. I feel blessed to have her in my life. I look forward to checking in with her over the next five years, during the entire Chapter 13 process. She is warm, caring, and delightful. There is NO OTHER bankruptcy lawyer in New York to even CONSIDER... CALL HER NOW!!!

Thanks Barbie :)

I appreciate the time and thoughtful consideration from Barbie, despite the complexity of my case. In the end, we realized that it didn't make sense for me to file, but I still received great advice and would have proceeded if it was feasible.
