Excellent lawyer

Barbie Lieber is an outstanding bankruptcy lawyer. I have a good job as a college professor, yet I managed to get myself into an unwieldy financial mess. I had overextended myself with credit cards, medical bills, student loans and retirement loans. After I made the decision to file for bankruptcy, I... called Barbie because other people recommended her highly. That said, I knew to expect a lot from her, but she did so much more than I ever bargained for. She designed for me a exemplary Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan; a sound, concrete budget that allowed me to cover all my daily living expenses so I never had to worry about garnishments or levies; and she found a way for me to repay my retirement loans in full. She helped me keep my creditors at bay, which gave me peace of mind. Provided I comply with my chapter 13 plan, all of my unsecured debt will be discharged, my student loans will be significantly reduced, and no creditors can contact me again. At first, the thought of filing for bankruptcy overwhelmed, and nearly paralyzed me. I needed some hand holding along the way, and occasional reassurance that everything would be alright. I had many questions about how bankruptcy works and what to expect. Barbie answered all my questions and provided me with the support I needed. I don't remember the last time I worked with anyone so organized, thorough, and sensible. She is a consummate professional: ethical and honest, affordable, and accessible by phone and email always. She returned all my messages at lightening speed. I never felt alone or uninformed, and there were no unwelcome surprises along the way. Ever. In court, she knows all the ropes, which helped me relax. Filing for bankruptcy is a big step. My decision to entrust Barbie Lieber to help me take control of my finances was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Paulk Bankruptcy review Barbie L

I got into financial trouble in this great recession due to long term unemployment. Looked around for a bankruptcy lawyer and found Barbie on Nolo. Just followed her instructions. She is very experienced and is not a money monger. She did a great job for me. If you need a lawyer go see Barbie. Got my... final discharge in 3 months. What a relief.

Even grown ups have their heroes

Simply said Barbie Lieber is straight forward, patient and brilliant.Almost immediately she lifted the weight of my shoulders and returned my sanity. After being laid-off for two years, I used up all my savings and incurred debt trying to pay my rent and put food on the table. I also gave thousands o...f dollars to a debt consolidation company who never paid any of my creditors and my debt ended up in collection. I worked with the debt collectors while unemployed & after finally getting a job I happily called them like a fool to start a payment plan. But they were rude, vicious liars. After a verbal agreement on the phone,the NEXT day they froze my checking account & the Marshal took most of the money I had left. Plus they threaten to garnish my paycheck. I was living in a legal nightmare I could not understand, afraid to take time off from work to go to court as I tried to resolve this issue myself,I did some research and came across Lieber & Lieber. I took a chance & literally gave Barbie the last of my money & hired her. To my surprise in 2 days my bank account was released and the marshalls returned all of my money soon after ! The sleaze collectors crawled under some rock,and she went to court with me and helped me every step of the way. Well finally I feel like a can breath and move on with my life. Thank you so much Barbie!

BEST NY BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY I HAVE EVER MET PERIOD

Where can I start Barbie has really helped me out through my situation a lot. I was going through financial debt and medical debt in addition to a awful relationship. As soon as I met Barbie and she started talking to me I felt comfortable and relaxed. I was able to tell her my whole life situation b...oth personally and financially which is hard for me because I had all this things going on and nobody to trust until I met Barbie. She really does care for her clients and you are a top priority for her. I thank God I met her because she really helped me with my situation . Also she works out with you payment options which is very nice she's not a lawyer only after your money . In short if you going to do bankruptcy Barbie Lieber is the way to go. She is very knowledgeable, professional, honest, trustworthy and so much more. Thank you Barbie May God bless you and your family.

With Barbie "Nothing Impossible"....Finally my nightmare over.

Today, Barbie accompany me at my 341 Meeting. I got number 48, the last 3 people left on the room. But with her, i'm sure that i can end my nightmare today. And i will start my life again for bright future, i'm positive with that. I just lost my house at 2010 because of Foreclosure. At 2008. i l...ost my jobs and i'm a mother with 5 kids. That time, i try to contact one lawyer at Flushing about my situation. Because i can't pay my mortgage and i have a lot of credit card debts. Since i live in Queens, i decided to contact one bankruptcy lawyer at Flushing. After i paid $350 for first time consultation with that lawyer Mr Q, instead of he helping me, he just cursing on me for whole 1 hour our consultation. After that i went home, try to change my phone number, since i already give Mr Q my phone number. And i start living with nightmare, i'm scare to death for the past 4 years.After that i didn't do anything about my situation. I just flow like water in the river, Because i really have no idea what i have to do. This year, my husband just got his tax return, since we have joint account. Of course tax return money, we just leave it in our saving account for emergency, not much approx $4000. But for us, that's money mean a lot after everything we lost, especially we have 5 kids. You never know, what will happen. On May 11 '2012, we just got our big suprise. That day i woke up and my husband asking me to take some money from bank, since 1 day before i just deposit his pay stuff. And when i try to go to ATM, actually one message show up on the screen said "Please contact customer service" And then i went home, i call customer service, they transfer my call to their legal department. And bank legal department explain to me that our account "Frozen" because of garnishment (or something like that). I really don't know what's going on. After that i try to check on the internet again about my situation and i decide to give it one more try to hire lawyer. This time luck on my side, because i found Barbie. And after i check her feedback, i have feeling that she's "The One". I still remember, on Saturday i try to leave her message, even my husband told me that he think Barbie will not reply my message, especially is she is very good lawyer. And my husband ask my to try to call again on Monday. But before i got chance to call her, actually she reply my call and leave a message on my phone ( Monday, May 14 ' 2012) After we talk, she decided to move fast on my case. She set up a meeting for next day (Tuesday), and she prepare all my paper work within one day (Monday night), because she know that my baby was sick. So she try to get all my information over the phone. And on Tuesday, May 15 '2012 , i met her and she already finish with all my paper work. And she filling my bankruptcy case that day, can you believe it ??? Because she said that we need to move fast so she try to help me to "unfrozen our bank account". The next day, i got email from her, that she trying to contact my creditor and other people to help me to remove the judgment against me, since i already submit my file for bankruptcy. On Wednesday May 16 '2012 , my bank contact me and told me that my bank account already active. Because creditor already removed their judgment against me. And today ( June 20 '2012) she accompany me more than 3 hours to wait for my 341 meeting. And try to calm me. I really blessed to have Barbie as my attorney, because i saw so many people who pay lawyer and their lawyer not even show up. If you have any situation like mine or more than mine. I believe that Barbie can help you. And her price reasonable , compare to the excellent service that you will get. I apologize if my english not right, since i never write any review in my life. This is my first time write a review for such an excellent person like Barbie. May God bless you and your family.
