I work with many attorneys in my business so I am a tough critic. Barbie Lieber is an amazing, world-class bankruptcy attorney. My case was complicated because it involved real property and marital agreements. Barbie knows so much about the law — not just bankruptcy law — that she was able to work... out extremely intricate agreements for every problem I faced. When I started looking for a bankruptcy attorney I asked three knowledgeable friends for 2 recommendations. All three came back with Barbie as one of their choices. And they said while both options were fine, I needed to call Barbie first. I am so glad I did and hired Barbie after one conversation with her. Barbie works tirelessly for clients and is optimistic but realistic. She told me what the Court would accept and delivered an agreement that I could live with while satisfying the creditors and the Court. To summarize, Barbie is an extremely smart, appropriately tough attorney. I didn’t understand how bankruptcies worked at all but she guided me through every step. Her advice in every way first class. Her knowledge of bankruptcy law is encyclopedic but she also gave me important guidance on budgeting, personal record keeping and other practical areas of life. Barbie not only helped me reach a bankruptcy agreement that helped me tremendously, she absolutely changed my life. My gratitude towards her is boundless.

Barbie did the impossible which was to not ONLY keep me from going into foreclosure but to oversee and make sure the real estate people did their job as well. I had to deal with an uncooperative ex husband and property I no longer lived in. Barbie was tireless and brilliant in her strategy to bring a...bout a great resolution in very unpromising case. Without her commitment and energy ,I would still be under an oppressive loan that would have changed my lifestyle considerably. I am deeply indebted to her for her above and beyond professionalism and kindness. She genuinely cares and wants her clients to be successful and happy.

We came into Lieber & Lieber with a broken dream. Our first home purchase had become a nightmare. After 9 months, we were unable to obtain financing because of specifics in the contract. We stood to lose our 10% deposit (for a NYC condo- that is a lot). Our previous lawyer failed to protect us from ...such an event. Needless to say, we fired him after we met Barbie. What Barbie did for us was nothing short of a miracle. Not only did she revise and renegotiate the contract, but she made sure it was iron clad with protections for us. She worked day and night, while sick and on vacation, to make sure everything was running smoothly. She was on top of all the issues (and there were many, so many). She resolved them quickly, professionally, and many times very creatively. She found solutions to problems that could have prevented the purchase that no one else thought about. In the end, after almost a year of struggling to finally have a home, Barbie got us to closing. We have keys in our hands today because Barbie moved mountains for us. And as if that weren't enough Barbie was so friendly, nice, and caring. We felt that she genuinely wanted this for us just as much as we wanted it. Barbie protected us and made us feel secure after so many months of uncertainty. She was not only the best lawyer we've ever met, but also one of the best people.

Barbie helped us purchase our first condo in Long Island City. She steered us away from a place that had pending law suits. And helped us by the place that did not have any issues. We are very thankful for that. She made sure that we are buying a place that is financially sound. Barbie also h...elped to push our mortgage broker to finalize the closing faster than expected. We were able to close in just a month. Without her it would have taken much longer. As we are first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and Barbie took the time to answer every one of them. I would definitely ask for the help of Barbie again when purchasing another place. We are recommending Lieber & Lieber to everyone we know.
