Thank you and utmost respect on the personal and professional attributes you took on my case. Around mid-June 2018, I got referred to you by another attorney (Wayne Greenwald) who said, “if there is anyone who will win the case it is Barbie Lieber”. His words “give her a call and tell her I recomme...nded her” On the busy and buzzing streets I tried as hard to hear you out on the cell phone, almost a block away from your office it sounded like we were talking across the country. Finally, we met in the lobby of your old office building in the beginning of July 2018, you offered to buy me a soda of which I said no to. Your office I should say was in a state of moving out, yet you knew where each document was. Your spouse and business partner sat quietly typing away in the other desk. For the next two to three hours you asked, and I answered as best as I could, at this time I regretted not taking you on the offer for the soda. This was the first and last time I was in your office, however it was the beginning of a journey that became evidentially personal and at heart for you rather than just a professional dealing. During the entire process, you were in touch with my brother and step-sister, I would ask about your mother in-law, you in turn were concerned about my three sons which seemed to fuel you ever so much, “where will they live if you lose the house, their home” were your words. The first court date in September went kind of iffy, yet you remained very reassuring. I should say I had some doubt and even seemed out of character with part of my communication to you. After listening and hearing you out I got back into understanding your execution of the process. After that the second court date in November 2018 we were not required to show up, other than give the requested documents. The third court date 07th December 2018 was the confirmation hearing, which after the case was presented the judge stated, “I might not need you to show up” and as we left I said to you “you have 99.9% done” Today 17th December 2018, the best thing I heard in a long time was “it is all done Joseph”. Barbie, you are more than a professional at your work, the experience showed all the way from the first call to this “last call”. “Last call” because it is not, as I plan to refer others to you for guidance or referral based on their needs. You took it very personal to the point that I wondered from time to time the amount of time you stayed committed and immersed in the case. To me you were going out to war for me, my sons, their home. You were more of a humanitarian than an attorney. Your gratification was in the second chance, I was getting through the system rather than just another case for you to win. As many await a gift for Christmas, I have received this one from you. To you and Bruce, on behalf of my three sons, brother and step sister God bless you.

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!

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!!!

I'd like to take a moment and share my recent experience with Ms. Barbie Leiber. I have had a tech-centric small business for the past 10 years that was experiencing steady growth and activity in NYC. Suddenly life took a significant turn in both personal and professional matters in early 2017. With ...it came a dramatic collapse of the business and it began generating tremendous financial pressure (& liabilities). It eventually overwhelmed me and I required the assistance of outside legal expert. Like most entrepreneurs, I could not study/work/fight hard enough to address all the myriad of challenges developing. I had to search for legal expertise to assist me. After receiving 2/3 personal recommendations, googling local attorneys, and researching industry boards profusely, I finally came to the conclusion that Barbie Lieber was the right person for me. I could not have been more correct. To begin with Barbies' experience immediately showed as she was able to calm the nervous wreck I had become. By helping me catch my breath, re-assuring me that this is a winnable fight, and willing to help me through all the legalese, I felt more focused and confident. Then by taking me step-by-step through all of the myriad of options, providing me training/certification, and actually helping me truly understand the context, Barbie was able to give me the CORRECT advice I sought. With her experience and understanding of the legal system, I quickly realized how much I truly benefited by selecting Barbie. Particularly when I saw other people struggle through the process by either doing it themselves or with bad attorneys. If there is one last important item to share: Barbie successfully decreased my debt by over %45 and helped me establish a payment system that let me get back to normal. There is not any better result possible. I am very grateful for her efforts and would like to highly recommend Barbie to anyone! ~ YJK
