Attorney Barbie Lieber-Thanks for giving me my life back!

I was overwhelmed with debt for years. I was embarrassed, depressed and felt like I would never get out of debt. I had been searching for a lawyer for months when I found Barbie. The first thing she said was, “I will be with you every step of the way. You are not a failure, you will get through th...is and WE will do it together.” Barbie is brilliant, compassionate, a very thorough lawyer who loves animals and worries about her kids (like any good mother) and she is a pretty good hugger too! I know this because of all of the time that I spent getting to know my attorney. Barbie returns calls in a timely fashion, she is extremely diligent about preparing your case with 100% accuracy. Most of all, she treats you with respect and compassion. You are not just another case with Barbie. When I went to court, I saw first hand, how most of the lawyers did not even know their clients by face. There was even a hand full of clients that needed a translator unbeknownst to their attorney. They were not the attorneys’ that met with the clients initially and took their money. You simply have to have a bankruptcy attorney that knows the law and also knows who you are. Bankruptcy should never be your first or even your 10th choice. However if you find yourselves in my shoes with the reality that it’s the only option, then be sure to call Attorney Barbie Lieber. Thank you Barbie! Renee’

Emphatic, Professionalism and Expertise.

I’m just writing to thank you Mrs. Barbie, not for just being a great lawyer with a great law firm, but also for being an incredible human being. Due to a huge amount of debt over the past 10 years and my wages was being garnished for the past 2 years. Last summer I discovered I have Pancreatic Canc...er and while going thru the rigors of surgery and chemotherapy and hoping for the best thru my recovery. The IRS sends me a letter informing me that they are going to garnish all my wages for everything except $179 per week, and put a lien on and/or reposes everything that I worked for. Once my chemotherapy sessions ended and I was strong enough to get out of bed without help I started searching the internet for several bankruptcy lawyers. I called several and none of them wanted deal with me due to the complexity of my case. So I set up the free consultation and went in to see Mrs. Barbie with all of my paper work. Even after she saw how messy my situation she decided to take on my case anyway. In the past I hired a tax firm name “J.K. Harris” to handle my case and not only did they rip me off for $3500, they made my situation 100 times worst. Oh, did I mention that they are banded from operating in several states and currently they have a class action law suit pending against them. Mrs. Barbie after accepting my case she had advised me that my options were limited but the only way that I could recover from financial ruin is to file for bankruptcy. and this is the compassionate part, once I explained my physical and financial situation to her in great detail, she stream lined an affordable package for me and she even allowed me to make payments for the service she rendered, and like most business transactions there was cost overrun, she even absorbed those cost knowing that I couldn’t afford to pay anymore. (During that time I was only receiving $160 per week from disability). To this day she still calls and sends emails to check up on my recovery progress. I thank her so much for being such a caring, empathic and thoughtful person. I could have never done it if it wasn’t for her help.

Amazing Lawyer and Incredible Person!!!

I am writing to not only thank Barbie Lieber, I would also like to help anyone who finds themselves in my position. After a divorce from a long term marriage I was financially and emotionally ruined. At my lowest point I started to review the option of bankruptcy. I know for me it was one of the hard...est decisions I ever had to make. That being said I honestly would like people to know I feel we all have angels sent to help, Barbie Lieber was one for me. She is so rare in this world which we are usually viewed as a number. Barbie Lieber is intellegent, educated, and most of all compassionate. These traits are hard to come by in one person. When I went to my hearing I immediately realized she was also respected by all in her field for her integrity and professionalism. I can never thank her enough for taking the time and having patience with me . As I was so scared and humiliated. For whatever road brought you to bankruptcy, please know the best and safest exit you could take is calling Barbie Lieber. She is an amazing lawyer but more important to me is she is an amazing person. I can honestly say you will feel safe and secure while she handles each case personally. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you Barbie for being the person you are and treating me so well. As a mother we can only hope our children have good people come into their lives when they are needed , as Barbie Lieber came into mine. Sincerely, JoAnn

Blown Away by Barbie!

I felt hopeless and buried…until I began working with Barbie! I had consultations with 3 other bankruptcy attorneys prior to contacting Barbie. Each of these consults was very mechanical and lacked personal interest in my case. I read several raving reviews about Barbie (I didn't have time to read... all of them)…and decided to contact her. Our first phone conversation lasted nearly 30 minutes. Based on her detailed questions/answers as well as a genuine interest in my complicated situation, I knew that she would be the best. I couldn't have been more correct! I informed Barbie that I was facing eviction within a few days. In addition to providing me with priceless advice of what/how/when to act, she provided me with impeccable follow-up...to a level that made me feel as if my case was her highest priority. Having only a few days prior to my impending receipt of a notice of eviction, Barbie worked me into her busy schedule to the neglect of no one's needs but her own. In order to enact an immediate Stay of Eviction, she stayed late at her office (it was nearly 11PM) until the completion of filing my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case. Amazing Dedication! I can't tell you how much relief I felt as a result of the immediate stay of eviction. As the date of the 341 hearing approached, Barbie stayed in frequent contact with me…both asking and answering questions. I felt confident going into the hearing because of her detailed preparation…preparation that also included a role-playing of what I could expect at the 341 hearing with the Trustee. On the day of the hearing, Barbie was present and representing multiple clients of hers. One again, in spite of her case load, she provided me with one-on-one attention and a case review prior to our appearance before the trustee. Prior to my case being called, I was able to witness other cases (clients represented by other attorneys). I was in disbelief as I saw several examples of what can happen as a result of poor preparation. One attorney failed to provide the trustee with necessary documents until the very day of the hearing. Needless to say, that hearing did not go well. Another attorney altogether misrepresented several items contained in one of the affidavits…causing the case to be adjourned. I can only imagine the frustration felt by their client as they'll need to go through that process all over again. My meeting with the trustee went very smoothly. I witnessed the trustee reviewing my well-written case and (as a result of Barbie's detail) asking me much fewer questions (than other cases I witnessed). By the way, my case was incredibly complicated and where many attorneys might have taken that opportunity to charge additional fees, Barbie did not. I guess I could summarize this review by saying…if you choose Barbie, you will not regret it. Thanks Barbie! I'll never be able to adequately express my gratitude for what you've done for me and my future.

Warm and professional--Thank you!!

Barbie demonstrated the secret to success is not who processes the most cases, but who connects with her clients both on a professional and personal level. She understood this was a difficult time for me and my family. However, she was patient, professional and thorough. She encouraged my trust..., and made this process easier, particularly given the complicated nature of my case. I would recommend Barbie Lieber to anyone!
