Barbie is by far the best, most personable lawyer I’ve ever come in contact with. Due to my panic and feeling the need to get it over with ASAP once finally deciding on filing, I first signed on with a different lawyer based solely on his Google rankings, where he is typically the first one to appear... in any NYC searches. Big mistake. After being given the runaround for well over a month, with nothing more than a few 30 second phone calls to say he was “looking into my case”, literally nothing came of it when he deemed my case to be too complicated, simply because it required filling out the means test paperwork to explain my situation. For that I received not even a full refund (the work required for a few 30 second voicemails apparently equates to $500) and a referral to another lawyer, one who never even called me back for an initial consultation. Fantastic. As if deciding to file for bankruptcy wasn’t a stressful enough situation to begin with, these are the sorts of people you can look forward to encountering when actually going through with the process if you’re not careful! I give this background to really highlight just how amazing Barbie really is. This time I decided to do my research more thoroughly. After reading all the great reviews on Barbie, I contacted her and immediately received a response. Within 48 hours the paperwork was done and my case was filed. A month later I had my 341 meeting, which she prepared me perfectly for, and before I knew it I was done with this extremely stressful era of my life. I can’t tell you enough how worth her fee Barbie truly is. Rather than giving you the runaround or trying to make things seem more complicated than they need to be she breaks everything down for you honestly and with compassion. She took an interest in my life and didn’t pass judgment on me like I had experienced previously. From the initial consult, to actually filing the Chapter 7 paperwork, to the 341 meeting, Barbie made the process and simple and stress free as humanly possible. It’s also important to note that, after dealing with other lawyers who would put literally nothing in writing, I really appreciated Barbie’s rapid fire response to emails and texts to all the little questions that come up during the course of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process. As you can see I can’t recommend Barbie Lieber enough. Learn from my own experience and go with the best from the beginning.

Bankruptcy attorney Barbie Lieber is a professional of the highest caliber, and one of the sweetest people I have ever encountered. I am fortunate that my Chapter 7 bankruptcy case was handled by her. Barbie's understanding of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process became quite clear after our initia...l conversation. That alone was enough to make me feel I was in capable hands, but Barbie went above and beyond, and I can't stress this enough, she really went above and beyond. I was an emotional wreck going into this process, the guilt and sense of failure was eating away at my ability to keep it together. Barbie helped put things in perspective, which I desperately needed. With her professional help and guidance I got through the filing process, and most importantly because of her I was prepared for my appearance before the court. I am an artist and prior to filing for chapter 7, I couldn't compose music or sustain focus on a project for long because the anxiety and stress was compounding in my head just like my credit card statements! Whenever I had a free moment to stop and think, all I could think of were my credit cards and how I was not in control of my life anymore. Now that the process has been completed I feel like a new person. I feel like I have been given a second chance at life, and I have been able to start composing music again! I highly recommend Barbie Lieber if you are considering filing for bankruptcy. Give her a call, you won’t regret it!

Barbie took on my complicated Chapter 13 case back in 2017 and helped me turn a very stressful situation into something completely manageable. She was there for me every step of the way even through 2020 when she helped me convert my Chapter 13 case successfully into a Chapter 7. I do not know what... I'd do without her guidance and preparation for both of my bankruptcy hearings. She is extremely knowledgeable and her experience is evident in how she handles the entire process. I honestly could not thank Barbie enough for everything she has done for me. She is a life saver!

Barbie Lieber was able to help my mom deal with a terrible situation after my step-father died, leaving her with well into six figures in credit card debt and no assets. Thanks to Barbie she was able to file for bankruptcy, and now she's got a new start and is able to live her life without fear of p...icking up the phone, and the constant stress of debt collectors. At the end of the day my Mom was so well prepared that the actual hearing was almost anticlimactic. Thanks Barbie!

I met Barbie Lieber in Spring if 2019 and it feels like she saved my life. I was in a real mess. You are never quite sure how you get to this point, I am a professional person with a job on Wall Street, but things were spiraling out of control. My Chapter 13 Bankruptcy stemmed from a very bad div...orce with crushing property settlement and attached IRS debt. When I met Barbie I had filed Chapter 13 twice before but both were dismissed (an out of state previous lawyer, inexperienced in SDNY courts took us down a dark path). It felt like no one in New York City would touch me. I had been trying to file Chapter 13 pro se (all by myself) for a third time with the same 2 creditors but it blew up in my initial 341 meeting of creditors. The Trustee basically said wrong forms go back and try again (have you guys seen all those forms?). Well I decided if this was going to work I needed to hire an attorney and luckily found Barbie Lieber, truthfully The Best Bankruptcy Chapter 13 Attorney in all of NYC. I knew it had to be Barbie because my first court appearance in SDNY (while trying to file in my own) and waiting to go in front of Judge Cecelia G Morris, an excellent, very fair Judge, I saw Barbie and how she interacted with the Trustee and the how much the Judge listened to her and how smooth everything was going for her clients. I had also seen her working with her clients at my first 341 meeting of the creditors and her clients were sailing through! There is obviously much more to this story but as we wound our way through this Chapter 13 process and I believe this was one of her most challenging, she never wavered. First, the mutual respect between Barbie and the Trustee and Judge were invaluable. Second, she was always thinking about the case and thinking outside of the box for solutions to any problems that arose, and there were a lot of them. Third, she was always fully prepared and made sure I was fully prepared for what we were currently dealing with and what was to come and she was always there to answer all of my many questions day or night. My Chapter 13 filing was confirmed in fall of 2019. In my opinion you will not find better Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney than Barbie Lieber and you would be lucky if she decided to take on your case.
