Barbie is a lifesaver!

I finally made the difficult decision this year to come to terms and tackle head first all of my issues - health wise, physically, emotionally, financially, etc. I was tired and fed up with myself and the direction my life was going so I decided to take action, and filing for bankruptcy was one of t...hose scary decisions I had to make. I researched plenty of lawyers online, spoke with a few and even went to meet one for a free consultation which was horrible. The guy wouldn't even look me in the eye as he was going through my information and basically throughout the entire meeting! I knew I would just be another number to him and that scared me because this is my life and livelihood on the line. I called Lieber & Lieber after doing additional research and spoke to Barbie. What an amazing difference! From the very first call and meeting, Barbie took the time to get to know me, my situation, my fears and worries - she made me feel comfortable and reassured that not only was I doing the right thing in taking ownership over my debt but also that I wasn't alone in the process which is so important. She walked me through every single step of the process and with such amazing attention to detail that I finally could see a light at the end of this long dark financial tunnel. Whenever I had questions about anything (and I had many!), Barbie would return my calls or email me back so quickly with precise, informative answers that truly showcased her knowledge and expertise. She even took the initiative and would call me with updates and progress/status reports which was surprising to me but so unbelievably comforting. What lawyer does that? The day of the 341 meeting, Barbie met me early and prepped me with the appropriate ways to answer the judges questions and reviewed my information again to ensure I was as prepared as possible. She had all the documents and anything/everything that could be needed with her. She was so prepared, and the judges know this about her and respect her for it! She was the only lawyer in the room like that, the other ones were disasters. Some didn't even have their client's basic info with them, I couldn't believe it! And the judge called them out for it immediately. Also, I had previously signed on to a debt consolidation firm which turned out to be a fraud and tried to take over $5,000 from me. Once Barbie heard that, she went above and beyond what her services should have been and called the company to get my money back. And she did! Barbie is a lifesaver and choosing her to represent my bankruptcy was the best decision I could have made. I am so thankful and grateful to her as a lawyer and as a person. I don't know what I would have done without her. Thank you again for everything Barbie!!!

A Strong Advocate!

A few months ago I was freaked out and indecisive about how to handle my mounting financial problems. I walked out of my first meeting with Barbie with a thorough understanding of what my rights were and confident about how things could be straightened out. Barbie took charge of my case and masterful...ly steered me in the right direction. She is rare among lawyers in that she understands the human equation as much as the legal complexities and is not only an excellent lawyer, but more importantly, a strong advocate. My case has now been completed with great results and I am moving forward without the stress of debt. I could not recommend her more highly.

Excellent Lawyer

June 08, 2010 Ms Barbie Lieber LIEBER & LIEBER 60 East 42nd Street (Suite 2102) New York, NY 10165 Dear Barbie, Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It is abundantly clear to me that I will never be able to adequately thank you enough for the all the many ways you helped and sup...ported me throughout the course of my recent bankruptcy filing- and current loan modification – and for all the attendant support you unstintingly brought to bear, time and again, on my behalf. I was, as you may well remember, nothing less than utterly overwhelmed (and, yes, lost) before you took matters in hand in a thoroughly focused and professional manner and managed me through the process. Your level of commitment to my particular case has been so far in excess of any other professional standard I have ever experienced as to be very nearly unbelievable. It has clearly been my great good fortune to benefit from your support and counsel at every stage of the process. On a personal note, the kindness, compassion and patience which informed every aspect of our interaction was as unexpected as it is very, very much appreciated. I experienced a sense of security – in even the most stressful of instances – which I previously thought reserved for only the closest of friends. You are, in short, nothing less than brilliant. In every way. So allow me to close this note as it began … Thank you Barbie, thank you, thank you, thank you. Sincerely,
