I don't know how to say about Barbie, she is kind of honest attorney with high experience in the bankruptcy case. I was stuck of the debts and I have consulted Barbie for initial consultation . After my initial consultation she always reply to my texts messages or email quickly and she's never ti...red to answer my question and she is always ready to cheer me up when I'm stressed out about my debts. On march 2016 she filed my bankruptcy case to the court . Barbie unlike many lawyers was assist me to my 341 hearing and address as well my case to the bankruptcy trustee. Barbie she not like other attorney whom only concern about their legal fees , she 's only concern about her client success and she always make sure you understand the entire process I would strongly recommend Barbie & Lieber firm to anyone looking to be in good hands in Bankruptcy matter. Thanks Barbie for everything you're done !

When I first got in touch with Barbie Lieber about my financial situation, she was terribly kind and understanding and most important to me at the time, non-judgmental. She outlined in a layman’s language what needed to be done and exactly how to do it. What I most remember is when we ended our meeti...ng she said, “Now stop you’re worrying; I’ll take care of everything”. And that’s exactly what she did! She took me through the legal process step by step until its finality. Barbie is an excellent lawyer, that is a given, but what is most special to me about her is that she treats you like a friend who is in need of her help.

Thank you Barbie Lieber for doing the impossible—settling my $105,000 Sallie Mae student loans so quickly and for a fraction of the amount allegedly owed. After completed a Masters Degree at a top university, I left with an education, a diploma, and, a massive student loan with Sallie Mae. The l...oan compiled with interest and fees over a number of years and just like anybody with student loans I felt burdened and this sense that it would never end. After University, I was a part of a start-up company that ultimately did not work out, in the meantime Sallie Mae dropped to the background as a priority, but what didn't were the interest and fees. After a few years of ignoring the loan, a lawsuit was filed and a judgment obtained against me, while it may have seemed inevitable, it still felt like a shock. Now with me trying to pursue a different career path, the loan felt like an even greater source of stress, only now it was represented by a legal team. I Interviewed a bunch of debt settlement lawyers in New York to defend me who said it was impossible to settle with Sallie Mae/SLM Private Credit Student Trust and its successors , at least not in any significant way. Moreover the advice was given convincingly and unequivocally, especially given that a judgment for over $105,000 had already been obtained by Sallie Mae against me. But things changed when I called debt settlement lawyer, Barbie Lieber, for the first time, I heard Barbie ‘s enthusiasm and eagerness to help me. I felt calm and like I might just have a chance at doing something here. Within a very short time of retaining her, Barbie was able to move to vacate the judgment and settle the amount owed for a small fraction of what was owed-only $15,000!! Her attitude was relentless. I never in a million years imagined she’d be able to settle for as low as she did. ... that was a different kind of shock for me. Barbie Lieber always kept me abreast of her strategy. She responded to calls and emails immediately. I felt that she kept me in the loop and I was a part of a team. Dealing with loans as long as I had, you always feel on the back foot; but, with Barbie Lieber I felt a shift in the balance, all of a sudden a sense they are outmatched. At the end she negotiated the settlement agreement to protect me. Unknown to me, it is astounding how tricky the terms of a settlement can be; it is not just getting to a final number; there is a further level of meticulous strategy needed to ensure your deal is solid and memorialized in writing so as to provide me with complete protection. I feel a lot of us get an unfair shake when it comes to student loans; you get the sense of a never-ending battle with the chips stacked against you that leads to a lifelong debt. If you want a chance at shifting the balance Barbie Lieber is the way to go. Now that this debt is settled, I am so relieved. Thank you Barbie.

Please read my review and choose Barbie Lieber as your bankruptcy attorney if you live in New York and want peace of mind! It will be a decision I guarantee you will never regret. I believe that the hardest decision to make when considering bankruptcy is choosing an attorney. The topic of filing ...for bankruptcy was on our minds for a very long time before we made the decision to proceed. We were overwhelmed by credit card debt collectors, the IRS and New York State, which were demanding that we pay around $3,000 per month (which was mostly for interest). We did not have the finances to come close to being able to pay that and we had reached the point of depleting all of our savings and possibly losing our home. We were struggling simply to pay for the needs of our 3 children. Our biggest fear was not choosing the right attorney. Several months before we found Barbie Lieber, we had scheduled an appointment with another attorney to discuss our financial situation and whether bankruptcy was the right decision. My husband and I left that meeting with no faith in this attorney or any clear information that bankruptcy was the best option for us. The information presented to us was just too general and rushed. Months later our situation had gotten worse. Our debt began to increase and we were struggling to pay our mortgage. Thankfully, I was able to find Barbie on Avvo. There were so many amazing reviews for her and I felt that she would come through for us too. It was evident from our first meeting that we found an attorney with a wealth of knowledge and experience in bankruptcy law. She outlined the bankruptcy process so clearly to us that we felt extremely comfortable in our decision in filing for bankruptcy and choosing her as our attorney. She explained to us how chapter 13 could benefit us, with interest stopping once we filed and having the payment based upon what we could actually afford per month. We felt like she made us partners in the bankruptcy by explaining things to us and making us a part of it. Barbie got to know us so well-she knew the needs of all of our particular family members, including the needs of one of my children who has special needs and the type and costs of his therapy. Getting to know us well and our particular needs and getting to understand our particular jobs and how our income varies, made her be able to represent us in the best possible way, ensuring that the monthly amount that we would pay under the plan would take into consideration our particular living expenses. Our chapter 13 plan has been approved by the Court!!!! Because of Barbie Lieber’s efforts, our chapter 13 plan was one of the only cases on the Judge’s calendar to have the chapter 13 plan approved by the court. The monthly payments under the plan are now based upon what we can actually afford—the monthly amount is now less than half of what the creditors were demanding from us. Now, we can pay our mortgage and won’t lose our home to foreclosure. And, we are thrilled that all of our taxes will be satisfied under the plan so that when we emerge from bankruptcy, we’ll owe nothing to the IRS or NYS. There has been a huge weight lifted off our shoulders. My family can now move forward without the stress of debt hanging over us. Barbie possesses so many amazing qualities both as an attorney but also as a person. As an attorney, she is brilliant, knowledgeable, fierce and strong. She will fight for you if she does not believe something is right. Barbie is also a caring person, who again takes the time to get to know her clients. She showed genuine concern for my family’s well-being during this whole process. I am so happy that I found Barbie Lieber’s name in Avvo when I was searching for bankruptcy attorneys in New York. Words cannot describe how grateful my husband and I are for everything that she has done for us. We strongly recommend her services

My family and I was referred to Barbie Lieber by a family friend. My parents were in the process of losing their house to foreclosure; Barbie was able to reach an agreement with the bank to forbear hold off from foreclosing. To enable another property being sold then use the proceeds of sale to pay ...off the foreclosing bank. Barbie is a lIfe and homesaver!!, she puts her all in what she does. My family and I would like to THANK YOU for all your hard work.
