Personal Attention

Picked from scanning possibilities on the internet for a solution to my debt problem, I chose to call Barbie Lieber. I have had matters with many attorneys, for very specific matters, over my lifetime. I have never been as satisfied by the attention to detail given to my problem, as I have been with ...by Barbie Lieber filing under chapter 7 on my behalf. To others out there with a similar problem: First phone call with Ms. Lieber; all of the details to questions as to wheter you are a client deserving of a fresh start, or not, start here. Then I was told what I was expected to do in supplying up-to-date, honest, and accurate information for her to work with. Organize it! And when you do, and she receives it, it will be dealt with ASAP. Don't compare her reasonable fees with anybody else. This is old school: If you do your job as a good client, all calls and emails are returned promptly. Ms. Lieber personally, not someone that represents her, is there with you in court...on one of the most humbling days that you will ever have. Work with a real attorney, be a good client; accept no substitutes.

Outstanding!

My Chapter 13 plan was confirmed! I couldn't have done it if it hadn't been for Barbie Lieber's very kind heart in helping me. Right from our first phone call we connected in a personal way. We talked about our dogs and children and family. She was totally available; her warmth and sincerity was c...alming as I had been very anxious throughout the entire process. I was drowning in debt and feeling hopeless. It's such a relief that I am now able to live in a way that I can afford and without the harassment of creditors. I'm also appreciative that she was so knowledgeable about the ramifications of my filing for a Chapter 13 rather than Chapter 7. I highly recommend her!

Very glad I chose Barbie Lieber to handle my Chapter 7 case!

Due to changing economic times, and a change in pay at my job, in addition to loans I took out to cover expenses, let me no choice but to consider Bankruptcy. I was drowning and just barely getting by. I was fortunate enough to find Barbie Lieber as my lawyer. I make over $60K a year, and I was wor...ried that I would not pass the means test to file a Chapter 7. In addition I have a rent stabilized lease in Manhattan; and I was worried I could lose that if I filed a Chapter 7. Barbie spent the entire time at our initial meeting putting me at ease. She explained everything to me in terms I would understand, and she assured me she would be by my side throughout the entire process. She was always available to talk on the phone, or responded to my emails within hours. She went way above what I would have expected a lawyer to do. As my 341 meeting approached, I was getting nervous. I had no idea what to expect. She took time to prepare me in detail as to what I would expect to happen in the meeting. We went over all possible questions that could be asked, so I would be at ease during the meeting. It worked. The meeting lasted only a few minutes and everything we covered ahead of time was asked. She sat next to me waiting for my turn, and she sat next to me the entire time, ready to jump in if there was something I was unsure of. She was prepared with all documents that could have been asked for at this meeting – again, very professional. I am very relieved now that the 341 is over and the trustee closed my meeting. If you are in the same position as I was, and feel there is no one to turn to, I can assure you there is. Contact Barbie Lieber. You will be glad you did.

Fantastic bankruptcy lawyer

Barbie handled our bankruptcy case spectacularly! Just like most people entering bankruptcy, my husband and I were distressed and didn't know where to turn, but Barbie laid out our options and helped us through the whole process beautifully. We ended up unexpectedly being able to file for Chapter 7 ...bankruptcy, which we never would have even anticipated. She was upfront, honest and professional and we always knew what to expect - I recommend her very highly!

Great Bankruptcy Attorney

My experience with Barbie Lieber was wonderful. She was extremely supportive and attentive ane always responded quickly to my phone calls and emails. When I told her I had a rent stabilized apartment in Manhattan and a large amount of Parent Plus student loans for my daughter's college education she ...was able to save my apartment and keep the student loans at bay for 5 years by having me file Chapter 13 instead of Charpter 7. I had consulted several other lawyers before finding Ms. Lieber and none were as responsible or knowledgeable as she was. She has also been involved in bankruptcy law for many years and is very familiar with the Trustees and Judges that rule on these cases. I would highly recommend her.
