BARBIE IS THE BEST !!!!

I called Barbie for a consultation about bankruptcy and I hired her on that very first call. Barbie knows exactly what she is doing and how the process works. Barbie asked me specific questions that would help her determine if bankruptcy was right for me (I have had consultations with other attorne...y's and they were vague in the information they would provide). I was nervous about the entire process but Barbie put my nerves at ease. She walked me through the entire process step by step. Barbie was my one and only contact from beginning to end and I loved that. Barbie not only guided me through bankruptcy, she also gave me some good advice on family and we shared stories about our pets. Bottom line: if you need someone that knows what they are doing and will give you all the facts you need to make the right decision then you need to call Barbie Lieber !!! Thank You Barbie !!!

MY FRIEND, THE LAWYER

When I first got in touch with Barbie Lieber about my financial situation, she was terribly kind and understanding and most important to me at the time, non-judgmental. She outlined in a layman’s language what needed to be done and exactly how to do it. What I most remember is when we ended our meeti...ng she said, “Now stop you’re worrying; I’ll take care of everything”. And that’s exactly what she did! She took me through the legal process step by step until its finality. Barbie is an excellent lawyer, that is a given, but what is most special to me about her is that she treats you like a friend who is in need of her help.

Beating Student Loans

Thank you Barbie Lieber for doing the impossible—settling my $105,000 Sallie Mae student loans so quickly and for a fraction of the amount allegedly owed. After completed a Masters Degree at a top university, I left with an education, a diploma, and, a massive student loan with Sallie Mae. The l...oan compiled with interest and fees over a number of years and just like anybody with student loans I felt burdened and this sense that it would never end. After University, I was a part of a start-up company that ultimately did not work out, in the meantime Sallie Mae dropped to the background as a priority, but what didn't were the interest and fees. After a few years of ignoring the loan, a lawsuit was filed and a judgment obtained against me, while it may have seemed inevitable, it still felt like a shock. Now with me trying to pursue a different career path, the loan felt like an even greater source of stress, only now it was represented by a legal team. I Interviewed a bunch of debt settlement lawyers in New York to defend me who said it was impossible to settle with Sallie Mae/SLM Private Credit Student Trust and its successors , at least not in any significant way. Moreover the advice was given convincingly and unequivocally, especially given that a judgment for over $105,000 had already been obtained by Sallie Mae against me. But things changed when I called debt settlement lawyer, Barbie Lieber, for the first time, I heard Barbie ‘s enthusiasm and eagerness to help me. I felt calm and like I might just have a chance at doing something here. Within a very short time of retaining her, Barbie was able to move to vacate the judgment and settle the amount owed for a small fraction of what was owed-only $15,000!! Her attitude was relentless. I never in a million years imagined she’d be able to settle for as low as she did. ... that was a different kind of shock for me. Barbie Lieber always kept me abreast of her strategy. She responded to calls and emails immediately. I felt that she kept me in the loop and I was a part of a team. Dealing with loans as long as I had, you always feel on the back foot; but, with Barbie Lieber I felt a shift in the balance, all of a sudden a sense they are outmatched. At the end she negotiated the settlement agreement to protect me. Unknown to me, it is astounding how tricky the terms of a settlement can be; it is not just getting to a final number; there is a further level of meticulous strategy needed to ensure your deal is solid and memorialized in writing so as to provide me with complete protection. I feel a lot of us get an unfair shake when it comes to student loans; you get the sense of a never-ending battle with the chips stacked against you that leads to a lifelong debt. If you want a chance at shifting the balance Barbie Lieber is the way to go. Now that this debt is settled, I am so relieved. Thank you Barbie.
