We were in need of retaining a chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer and started to seriously look around late last year 2012. We spoke with 2 lawfirms and had made a lot of phone calls to other firms before we came upon the AVVO website and saw all the endless positive reviews about Barbie Lieber. We contac...ted her by email first and then after a few emails back and forth, Barbie just asked us for our phone number and she called us right away. We had a lot of concerns, as anyone would in filing chapter 7 and she spent the time with us on the phone. We spent a few days thinking it over and we called her back and retained her. She was able to expedite the filing process quickly, compared to other firms that were quoting a longer waiting time for filing. We were very prepared for the 341 mtg. and calmed my nerves. We have no regrets about any of it. The whole process was stressful at times but Barbie kept assuring us that everything would be okay. And true to her word, everything did work out. Thank you Barbie.

Though it might sound a bit counter intuitive, filing for bankruptcy was the first proactive thing I did after my financial life hit the skids, and hiring Barbie Lieber to represent me was one of the best choices during this entire experience. That might sound like hyperbole; by I was not in the posi...tion I was by making a lot of great choices. My financial situation was caused by poor business decisions that before I was able to put the brakes on had left me penniless and was a mountain of credit card debit. The fact that my bankruptcy filing should be handled differently then personal consumer debt wasn’t even something I was aware of until I spoke with Barbie. After deciding to file for bankruptcy I then had to figure out where to find a lawyer to help me do so. Since most people do not speak openly at cocktail parties about their bankruptcy filing it is tough to find a referral through friends or acquaintances. My initial Internet search brought me first to one lawyer whose office had closed up shop and then a consultation with a bankruptcy lawyer whose first question was whether I found them from their daytime TV ads or the bus advertising. They gave me a quick 20-minute consultation at the end of which they had no real grasp of my situation and I was back out on the street feeling like I could not do this. Dejected, it was another three months before I attempted again to find a lawyer and move forward with bankruptcy. I wish I could remember what words I used differently in my search query but I came across Barbie Lieber and the page you are currently reading this testimonial on. Reading through many of these, I was taken by how much came sincerity across in them, how different their experiences were from my first one. I called and spoke directly with Barbie. We were on the phone for over an hour. At the end of that phone call she had a firm grasp of my current financial situation and we had scheduled a meeting at her office. During the months that followed that initial meeting, Barbie was this amazing mix of professional and personal that I didn’t even know I would need in a lawyer. She understands the people that seek her services are often scared and at their wits end. Even though I was filing for bankruptcy, after every interaction with Barbie I felt more confident in my financial situation then I had in years. When it came time for my Section 341 hearing Barbie really went above and behind. We had a phone meeting the night before so she could talk me through what was going to happen at the courthouse and to reassure me that things were going to be fine, that we had done everything above board and proper so there should be no problems or surprises. Other testimonials have talked about how amazing she was in the meeting with the Trustee so indulge me as I echo their praise. Barbie was amazing. Once again she was professional as well as understanding of how nervous and vulnerable I was in that moment. I felt reassured with her there. After the hearing was over Barbie said to hold tight and that she felt confident that my discharge would be granted and I left believing her. Last week I heard from the court that my filing was successful. I am feeling better then I have in over two years and it is in great part to Barbie Lieber. She did more then just file paperwork for me, she made me feel confident again. Thank you.

This is the first review I post in the internet ever. I sent Mrs. Lieber an email 3 months ago because I thought I was going to go crazy or had a heart attack due to the amount of debts I had I accumulated over the past year. I really did not know what to expect when I sent her the email. I was very ...honest with my situation and explained everything to her in details. She replied my email right away (Sunday night) and from that moment on, she completely took me over her wings and guided thru the whole bankruptcy process. I can't begin to describe the incredible amount of support she offered me since day one. She noticed that I was going thru a period of depression and emotional turbulence, and tried to always keep me with a positive attitude. She made the whole legal process so painless for me until the very end, that I ask myself if I was dreaming. The only thing I can tell you is that she helped me save my sanity, and my self. She gave me hopes when all I saw was a dark end. I will always be grateful to her because of her legal support, as well as her compassionate attitude towards me. It's my hope that if this review can reach someone that is going thru a bad or critical financial situation that you reach Mrs. Lieber and explain her your situation. It could be a life changing experience in a very positive way. Thank you again Mrs. Lieber.

Spitfire Lightning! Barbie Lieber is a force of nature and creditors better get out of her way! My husband and I found ourselves in financial trouble when I lost my job and the creditors started relentlessly coming after us. Barbie explained everything that was going to happen and how it was going to... happen and why it was going to happen but most importantly WHEN it was going to happen, let me explain. I lost my job, we lived paycheck to paycheck but the paycheck wasn’t so bad while I was getting it. Sure, we could have filed for bankruptcy chapter 13 immediately BUT, if we just waited for a few months to go by, we could file for chapter 7. Very tricky calculation done on Barbie’s part to ensure it worked out this way BUT, it did and we are forever in her debt for her amazing expertise and knowledge of the bankruptcy laws. In fact, her knowledge and how she explains things is so thorough, I could probably file myself now, HAH! She analyzed the case so thoroughly that we were able to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy instead of simply settling on 13. Sometimes faster is not better but I know she can do fast too, why? If you call Barbie, morning, noon, night, weekend, holiday, guess who picks up the phone, BARBIE! I NEVER left a message on a machine I always got BARBIE! Email, texts, phone, she’s on it! At our trustee hearing I was shocked to see how many other people had completely unprepared lawyers, SHOCKED! The trustee looked so not happy or amused with these lawyers. I KNEW Barbie had all the information the trustee asked of the other lawyers and more because we knew she was prepared and had thought of every possible question and scenario that could possibly come up during the trustee hearing, why? She’s SPITFIRE LIGHTNING! She knows her law, her knowledge is VAST. Her focus on you is like a laser, she only sees you and your needs, she is always there for you! You will never feel like a number in a long line of clients you will feel like numero uno! You cannot go wrong in choosing Barbie Lieber to represent you in bankruptcy. In fact, you’d be foolish not too. Moreover, I have made a friend for life and I owe her my life too. She went above and beyond the call of lawyer duty. She doesn’t need to “fight for your rights” because she knows your rights already.

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.
