Thank You Barbie!

Thanks to Barbie Lieber I have my life back! I had made a property investment at the peak of the housing market in 2007. With the property being under water and having an unreliable tenant, the stress of my financial situation consumed me until I finally made the decision to file for Chapter 7. ... I searched for Bankruptcy lawyers on the internet and found Lieber and Lieber, they had the most positive reviews out of anyone else. I called their office late on a Friday night hoping to get an answering machine. However to my surprise I was able to speak to Barbie herself. She stayed on the phone with me for hours discussing my case (mind you this is past 7pm on a Friday night) Being that I was still unsure, emotional and had a lot of questions, Barbie met me the very next morning (a Saturday) at a local establishment (we discovered we live about 4 blocks from one another) I really needed the personal care she gave me. I am young and felt ashamed and embarrassed but my financial distraught, but Barbie held my hand throughout the entire process. She was even giving people advice at the 341 meetings that either did not have a lawyer or whose lawyer was not there yet. She is thorough to a fault, a great lawyer and a genuinely good person. TRUST me, when dealing with filing for Bankruptcy, hire Barbie Leiber, get out of debt and move on with your life!!

Blown Away by Barbie!

I felt hopeless and buried…until I began working with Barbie! I had consultations with 3 other bankruptcy attorneys prior to contacting Barbie. Each of these consults was very mechanical and lacked personal interest in my case. I read several raving reviews about Barbie (I didn't have time to read... all of them)…and decided to contact her. Our first phone conversation lasted nearly 30 minutes. Based on her detailed questions/answers as well as a genuine interest in my complicated situation, I knew that she would be the best. I couldn't have been more correct! I informed Barbie that I was facing eviction within a few days. In addition to providing me with priceless advice of what/how/when to act, she provided me with impeccable follow-up...to a level that made me feel as if my case was her highest priority. Having only a few days prior to my impending receipt of a notice of eviction, Barbie worked me into her busy schedule to the neglect of no one's needs but her own. In order to enact an immediate Stay of Eviction, she stayed late at her office (it was nearly 11PM) until the completion of filing my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case. Amazing Dedication! I can't tell you how much relief I felt as a result of the immediate stay of eviction. As the date of the 341 hearing approached, Barbie stayed in frequent contact with me…both asking and answering questions. I felt confident going into the hearing because of her detailed preparation…preparation that also included a role-playing of what I could expect at the 341 hearing with the Trustee. On the day of the hearing, Barbie was present and representing multiple clients of hers. One again, in spite of her case load, she provided me with one-on-one attention and a case review prior to our appearance before the trustee. Prior to my case being called, I was able to witness other cases (clients represented by other attorneys). I was in disbelief as I saw several examples of what can happen as a result of poor preparation. One attorney failed to provide the trustee with necessary documents until the very day of the hearing. Needless to say, that hearing did not go well. Another attorney altogether misrepresented several items contained in one of the affidavits…causing the case to be adjourned. I can only imagine the frustration felt by their client as they'll need to go through that process all over again. My meeting with the trustee went very smoothly. I witnessed the trustee reviewing my well-written case and (as a result of Barbie's detail) asking me much fewer questions (than other cases I witnessed). By the way, my case was incredibly complicated and where many attorneys might have taken that opportunity to charge additional fees, Barbie did not. I guess I could summarize this review by saying…if you choose Barbie, you will not regret it. Thanks Barbie! I'll never be able to adequately express my gratitude for what you've done for me and my future.

Barbie is an exceptional bankruptcy attorney!

Barbie is everything you'd want in a bankruptcy attorney. She's compassionate & understanding, but she pulls no punches. She definitely tells it like it is. That's extremely important for a bankruptcy lawyer to do. She always -- 100% of the time -- answered my questions immediately, whether by ph...one or email. I'm beyond grateful to her. She made my Chapter 7 bankruptcy go so smoothly & quickly. It's something I've dreaded & have put off for way too long. But Barbie is so comforting & confident. That's because she's extremely experienced & she knows her stuff so well, I knew from the first moment I spoke with her that she was the right lawyer for me. She made sure I was prepared for the 341 meeting & that I had taken the required courses. She was on top of everything every step of the way. She came to my 341 meeting -- hobbling in from a recent surgery on her leg.-- that alone should confirm just how dedicated she is. Wish all attorneys were as wonderful as she is.

Exceptional Lawyer & Outstanding Human Being

I have worked in the legal field for over 15 years and know many good lawyers but Barbie Lieber is a star among stars. Not only is she is an excellent lawyer (sharp, spot on with respect bankruptcy law, meticulous and thorough) but also an outstanding human being. My case was not simple (it involve...d some assets which Barbie Lieber was able to protect - legally). She listens carefully to her clients, holds no punches, advises what is possible and proceeds from there. After a divorce and career hiccup, I found myself in an unfortunate, impossible financial position. It was a difficult, scary and painful decision but bankruptcy made sense. It was a chance to start new. I was overwhelmed with debt and creditors were getting increasingly aggresive - to the point where I thought I would lose my job (they started to call work). I consulted with another lawyer (on a referral) but he was just not up to snuff and not responsive. After reading Barbie Lieber's testimonials and speaking with her initially, I knew this was the lawyer for me. She explained the process, prepared meticulously, anticipated where there may be problems with the Trustee and prepared me for the 341 meeting. I just returned from that meeting (it went well) and words cannot explain how grateful and fortunate I am for having Barbie Lieber represent me. I feel like a huge burden has been lifted and I am hopeful for the first time in a long time. Highly recommend, don't waste your time on mediocre lawyers (like I did initially) -- this is too important. Been there. Grateful and in awe, Joy
