The best bankruptcy attorney!

I went through a major financial setback this past year with my wife having to go through several surgeries. The mental fatigue, battling with insurance to get them to pay, I ended up paying for a large chunk of the medical bills. It tipped the balance of the scale and thrust me into a bankrupt finan...cial situation where I couldn’t even afford to pay the minimums on my debt. I started reaching out to several attorneys to explain my situation, but they only cared to ask about my income and shut me down with a response that my income was above the means test and I would not qualify for Chapter 7. It seems most attorneys look for easy cases where they do not have to put any effort into. Barbie was the only attorney that took the time to really listen to my situation and with that was able to see that I indeed qualified for Chapter 7 when considering the medical expenses paid and the income lost due to having to stay at home to care for my wife. It didn’t stop there, she was proactive and reachable throughout the entire process, showing a lot of compassion. The customer service Barbie provides is unmatched by any attorney I had ever dealt with in the past. I would recommend Barbie to anyone going through financial hardship needing legal help!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ADVOCATE FOR HER CLIENTS

I found Barbie through this website, after browsing her innumerable, outstanding reviews. I was exasperated - I had already met with NO FEWER THAN FOUR bankruptcy lawyers, all of whom had flippantly told me that the best they could do for me would be a quick, 100% plan (for a Chapter 13 - the monthly... payments for which would be totally impossible!!), and all of whom wanted to charge me just for a consultation. Feeling defeated, I called Barbie at 4:55pm on a Friday... she answered, and spent a full 30 minutes with me on the phone, assuring me that "we could do much better." She met me the following Monday, and - simply - changed my life. We spent two hours going over my entire financial history and habits... Barbie is not only a bankruptcy lawyer, she is a FINANCIAL ADVISOR. She suggested I make small changes that, I'm certain, will have profound, long-lasting effects on my financial well-being. I walked out of that meeting feeling, for the first time in a full year, FREE of concern and worry: she made me feel safe and proud of the decision I was about to make. The following six months, Barbie stayed in touch with me, guiding my bankruptcy process until our 341 meeting. She was with me throughout the entire meeting, arguing for the best, most reasonable plan for me, despite the trustee's attempts to complicate certain issues. She was resolute and determined to fight for my complete rights as a debtor, and put forth a Chap 13 plan that would SUCCEED. Most importantly, she was thorough, enthusiastic, and steadfast in her work. SHE LOVES WHAT SHE DOES AND LOVES HER CLIENTS. Months later, at the confirmation hearing, we walked in, and walked out - my plan was confirmed by the trustee, no questions asked. Barbie had obviously done her homework, prepared my case, and knew exactly how to have it confirmed, with no further effort on my part. We were thrilled - Barbie, with tears in her eyes, hugged me and congratulated ME on our success. I feel blessed to have her in my life. I look forward to checking in with her over the next five years, during the entire Chapter 13 process. She is warm, caring, and delightful. There is NO OTHER bankruptcy lawyer in New York to even CONSIDER... CALL HER NOW!!!

The best

I was in the process of losing my home do to me being disabled. I tried to talk to my bank a couple of times to get a modification for my home and they refused. My house was going into forclosure in less than a month. I was so stressed out crying every day trying to find a way to save my home. I went... on Google to search for help and found Barbie Lieber. I called and explained my situation to her and asked her for help. She heard in my voice how desperate I was to save my home from going into forclosure. Barbie asked me to gather certain paperwork that she needed to file with the courts. Within the next couple of months Barbie and I would email or text each other regarding extra paperwork that was needed. She and I would meet up in court and she handled everything that needed to be handled. She had filed all the paperwork that was needed to be filed and was able to save my home from going into forclosure all within a couple of months. I'm so happy that I hired Barbie Lieber. She is very understanding and so helpful. I can't explain how happy and relieved I am, and so very appreciative that my home was saved and I have Barbie Lieber to thank for it.

Mrs. Lieber was incredible. She explained everything that was going to happen, and also gave me a life lesson in which I deeply needed and appreciated. I spoke with her on the phone one afternoon and she told me to come in that evening. I did, and we got everything done that day I just had to wait ...for the meeting at the bankruptcy court. Filing for bankruptcy is embarrassing hands down, but she made me feel a lot less guilty and comfortable. I would hire Mrs. Lieber as my attorney in any field that she practices in. I trusted everything she said to me. Thank You.
