Spitfire Lightning!

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.

Caring, Quick, and knows her Case Law!

Barbie helped me out in a big way. I was deeply in debt and defulted on student loans, to the extent where I had 25% garnishes on my paychecks. After a promotion, my income increased significantly, which meant the garnishments were getting bigger and bigger, but only paying two of my creditors. I ...called Barbie and she recommended a rush filing in order to prevent the garnishment of a large commission check. We were able to get filed the next day, and my plan has since been confirmed. Barbie was empathetic, knowledgeable, and willing to work overtime to make sure I got the best results possible. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody who is facing garnishments, judgments, or liens.

Kari Devi chapter 13 client

Please if you ever need to file for bankruptcy do not look anywhere else, If you want your case to be solved in a short period of time and with excellent results. YOU MUST READ THIS. I was drowning in debt. I just had my 4th child and I was forced to leave my 2nd job in order to be home earlier to ...care for my young children. I own 3 properties and all of them were under water. On my primary home I owed $500, 000 on the 1st mortgage and $92,000 in the 2nd mortgage. I also own a rental property with 2 mortgages. The 1st mortgage is $380,000 and the 2nd mortgage is $94,000. I also owned a condominium that was rented but I lost the tenant. I couldn’t afford to pay these mortgages. I had most of my properties rented, but I was still falling behind in my payments. The rent was not covering all the expenses. My fiancé and I looked online and found Barbie Dawn Lieber. From the first interview over the phone I knew she was going to be the perfect attorney for my very COMPLICATED case. Barbie was very knowledgeable about the bankruptcy laws and which chapter was the best one to file for my very COMPLICATED situation. Barbie Lieber got my case confirmed in as little as 6 months. Barbie Lieber was able to strip off the 2nd mortgages on both of my properties, surrender my condominium, and create a 36 month plan where I only have to pay $53.53 dollars monthly. Barbie Lieber is very professional and always returns my phone calls and emails. Barbie Lieber saved my life, my family’s future and I are very satisfied with her work. If you ever need an attorney that can deliver and fight for you Barbie Lieber is the attorney to call. God Bless her! Thank you Barbie from the bottom of my heart you are the best attorney.

Drowning in financial difficulties, but rescued by an excellent lawyer, Barbie Lieber

Drowning in financial difficulties, I was overwhelmed with shame. I also felt shame in the prospect of filing for bankruptcy, so it was the last thing that I would have expected to do. However, my husband went ahead and scheduled an appointment with Barbie Lieber. The prospect of bankruptcy caused me... to be anxious. However, as soon as I met Barbie and heard her speaking about the whole process to file a chapter 13, I felt instant relief because she gave me confidence and made me feel that things would be all right. Her professionalism, focus on the details, explanation about this bankruptcy process, motivation, good timely manner and effectiveness made me think that we were in good hands and helped ease the process. She made me us recognize this process as part of a human situation in life, as a common thing that could happen to anyone in a daily basis. We want to thank Barbie because she gave us great advice to wait to file the bankruptcy until we actually signed the loan modification agreement for our first mortgage so that we could be assured that we would not have to redo the whole loan modification process once in bankruptcy. Thank you so much for that. Finally, the level of anxiety went down the day of court. We finally could get through this in a confident and effective manner because we got to court an hour earlier than the time assigned and Barbie was there early to prepare us and gave us the best orientation possible before the court time. We successfully excelled in front of the judge because of Barbie’s professional preparation. I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about what other people I know said to me about the bad process they went through with bankruptcy court process. However, it was not like that for us, because Barbie had everything in order and under control due to her very well knowledgeable professional experience for us. Also, during our day in court, it was terrible to see other people who were with lawyers who did not prepare them with all the documentation necessary for the judge, not even having a simple Social security or an identification card or other important documentations. I also witnessed clients waiting for lawyers who never showed up to court, while our Barbie prepared us in such a professional way. Barbie was always available for any questions we had. I consider Barbie a wonderful lawyer that I would recommend her to any one. She was very precise with the explanation on the forms she has to render to the court on the schedule J and I. She prepared these forms so well that even the judge did not question the forms too much; that’s how good they were prepared in a truly and accurate way. Barbie is so thorough. She calls over and over to us to strategize with us for our meeting; thinking of all the questions that could be asked of us and we were prepared to answer them with confident in front of the trustee. She prepared all the documents so thoroughly, the trustee only asked us just three to four questions and the process resulted in the closing of the hearing. This great lawyer is she treated us all the time with dignity, respect and showed compassion and support; however, I don’t have more words to gratify her for the wonderful work she did with us representing us as a Bankruptcy lawyer. We Thank God we found Barbie in our path, I think she is like an angel from God, to relieve us and wake us up from our nightmare we went through all these years with all the debts we had. We will always appreciate her dedication and good treatment she had for us, Thanks to Barbie, now we can have a secure and pleasant sleep at night. Finally, we just heard the wonderful news that Barbie was able to successfully strip off an

A truly wonderful attorney with a fabulous result, and a kind and caring human being.

Ms. Lieber helped me through a difficult and painful decision to file for bankruptcy with kindness, sensitivity and respect. I had a tough case and she was able to get me a great result. I shall forever be grateful to her for her hard work and determination in getting the best possible result for m...e. It was important to me that I found an attorney that would give me the time I needed when I had concerns and not talk down to me. I found her! Ms. Lieber is a genuinely kind person and an aggressive and hard working attorney. I had initially contemplated a Chapter 13 filing, and retained Ms. Lieber for that purpose, but after going through my case she discovered I was eligble for a Chap. 7, and proceeded that way, refunding some of my retainer fee already paid to her. She could have proceeded with the higher fee process, but she didn't, and I was very appreciative of that and of her determination to do her best for me. I would highly recommend Ms. Lieber to anyone considering bankruptcy as an alternative.
