I was feeling ashamed, overwhelmed & bewildered by my credit card debt. Especially since I had walked away from a large salary & very successful career just a few years ago to pursue more meaningful, personally fulfilling creative endeavors. With every month I had to pay out enormous minimum payment...s, the guilt and doubt racked up as well, making me feel like a failure. I knew I had to do something but frankly I was scared to take any kind of action. I was stuck, frustrated, misinformed, not totally understanding my options or even who to trust to help me. I found this site and all these glowing reviews for Barbie after reading one of her clear & helpful responses to someone who had posted a question about bankruptcy. I'm so glad that I reached out to her - she is organized & professional but also incredibly generous with her time. She helps you take action and move forward to complete the process. She's not pushy, she's just an excellent leader - simply determined to get you out of that rut you're in. She put me at ease right away, as she was very interested in getting to know me as a person and to learn more about my personal journey. And she moved me to action. The whole process took mere weeks and just the other day, as we exited the courthouse and she congratulated me - I finally felt a huge weight lifted off me. If I were to give advice to anyone facing the same situation that I was in, I would tell them to take action by calling Barbie, and to let her lead you the rest of the way.

Barbie Lieber was excellent. Because I own a business, my corporate attorney advised me to find a very good bankruptcy attorney if I wanted to keep my business. And I found one. Yes, my case was more complicated than most, but even some of the simple cases were not discharged because of an incompet...ent attorney. The trustee was several hours behind schedule the day of my hearing so I heard many cases. Barbie's attention to detail and thorough understanding of the process got me my discharge, and I was able to keep my business I interveiwed at least 6 attorneys before choosing Barbie. Some of the attorney's gave me information that I knew was inaccurate (there are some very bad bankruptcy attorneys out there). Two attorneys told be to sell my business before I filed becuase it would be taken from me. However, when I called Barbie, she discussed in length (about 20 minutes) over the phone of how she could get me through the process. She prepared my case so well, the trustee only asked one question, then granted my discharge without me having to surrender my company. The trustee told me that Barbie did an excellent job. Of the 20-30 cases I heard prior to my case being called, it was the only compliment I heard the trustee give any attorney. Several cases were not discharged because the attorney did not complete all the necessary forms or completed them inaccurately. Barbie is so thorough that she called me over the weekend a couple of times to stategize for the 341 meeting. She was thinking of all the questions that could have been asked of me so I would be prepared. You don't want to sound unsure of yourself in front of the trustee. But because she prepared all the documents so thoroughly, the trustee only asked my one simple question. My bankruptcy was mostly because of personal guarantees on business debt so my company was being sued as well. Barbie gave me excellent advice on how to repsond to these suits without even charging me. That is how much she will go above and beyond for her clients.

Dear Barbie: I'm sorry I took so long to write this, it's well overdue! I didn't know where to start, I've re-written this several time because I have so much to say. I've been a little overwhelmed by all you have done and I'm so grateful to you for helping me get my life back. Thank you!! I'...ve been bragging about you to my friends and co-workers. I would not hesitate even for a second recommending you to anyone I come across in the same situation I was in. Filing Chapter 7, initially a daunting task, was actually a breeze, you helped me do this quickly and I was so happy that you were there with me every step of the way until the end. Thank you for taking the time and treating me like a person. You are so kind and really care about your clients. We are not a faceless numbers, you know this and treated me like a human being. After just one conversation you remembered everything about me and my family, that only comes with being attentive and sensitive to each individual situation. You put me and my family at ease during this difficult time and knowing that someone cared about my situation made filing easier. Your intelligent and diligent devotion not only to your profession, but to your clients, have left me speechless. You have an uncanny ability to sort through an issue quickly and verbalize it in lay speak, so even I could understand. When I came to you, my wages were about to be garnished. I was beside myself and didn’t know where to turn. You immediately prioritized my matter and prepared the petition and schedules immediately to prevent the garnishment from occurring. The speed in which you did this just blew me away! You then also took immediate actions after the bankruptcy to ensure that my wages were not garnished, clarifying matters with my employer, this was also above and beyond. There truly was a light at the end of the tunnel, I'm glad I held out and found you. Gratefully, -Miguel H.
