The best

I was in the process of losing my home do to me being disabled. I tried to talk to my bank a couple of times to get a modification for my home and they refused. My house was going into forclosure in less than a month. I was so stressed out crying every day trying to find a way to save my home. I went... on Google to search for help and found Barbie Lieber. I called and explained my situation to her and asked her for help. She heard in my voice how desperate I was to save my home from going into forclosure. Barbie asked me to gather certain paperwork that she needed to file with the courts. Within the next couple of months Barbie and I would email or text each other regarding extra paperwork that was needed. She and I would meet up in court and she handled everything that needed to be handled. She had filed all the paperwork that was needed to be filed and was able to save my home from going into forclosure all within a couple of months. I'm so happy that I hired Barbie Lieber. She is very understanding and so helpful. I can't explain how happy and relieved I am, and so very appreciative that my home was saved and I have Barbie Lieber to thank for it.

Excellent Attorney

Mrs. Lieber helped me through the foreclosure negotiations with my bank. She made a very confusing and difficult situation manageable, and helped me tremendously! It was a pleasure working with her and I would highly recommend her services!

Hire Barbie if you want Peace of Mind!

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

The Best Lawyer In New York!!

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.

After her diligently working with my mom to save her house from forclosure and put her financial issues back in order, I realised then maybe one day I might need her. So, that was 2009, now we in 2015, 6 years later. I'm married with two children and work part-time. Struggle with my finances and my husband as well was at a stand still with his debt.
