Amazing Lawyer Amazing person

Barbie is the best out there. She helped me so much from filing to the meeting with the trustee. She has given me a whole new outlook on life. If you are looking for an excellent bankruptcy lawyer and one that cares, she is the one!

The best bankruptcy attorney!

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!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ADVOCATE FOR HER CLIENTS

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!!!

Great Legal Expert - ....you just hit the lotto!

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
