Barbie Lieber was an invaluable source of assistance during an incredibly difficult time. She made me feel comfortable and confident that I could rely on her for expert legal support as I navigated bankruptcy filing for the first time, something I never thought I'd have to do in the first place. As s...he listened to the circumstances around my case, she empathized in a way I hadn't expected. Barbie even went above and beyond to help me navigate my way out of a lease with a landlord who failed to deliver habitable premises. Every phone call started with "how is school? I hope this whole ordeal isn't keeping you from attending classes". Encountering that level of humanity while facing dire financial struggles and a housing crisis allowed me to relax and feel confident that at least this part of my life was in great hands. Finally, I'll say that Barbie took the time to make me feel completely prepared going into the 341 meeting with the trustee. I could not recommend her more highly.

I felt hopeless and buried…until I began working with Barbie! I had consultations with 3 other bankruptcy attorneys prior to contacting Barbie. Each of these consults was very mechanical and lacked personal interest in my case. I read several raving reviews about Barbie (I didn't have time to read... all of them)…and decided to contact her. Our first phone conversation lasted nearly 30 minutes. Based on her detailed questions/answers as well as a genuine interest in my complicated situation, I knew that she would be the best. I couldn't have been more correct! I informed Barbie that I was facing eviction within a few days. In addition to providing me with priceless advice of what/how/when to act, she provided me with impeccable follow-up...to a level that made me feel as if my case was her highest priority. Having only a few days prior to my impending receipt of a notice of eviction, Barbie worked me into her busy schedule to the neglect of no one's needs but her own. In order to enact an immediate Stay of Eviction, she stayed late at her office (it was nearly 11PM) until the completion of filing my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Case. Amazing Dedication! I can't tell you how much relief I felt as a result of the immediate stay of eviction. As the date of the 341 hearing approached, Barbie stayed in frequent contact with me…both asking and answering questions. I felt confident going into the hearing because of her detailed preparation…preparation that also included a role-playing of what I could expect at the 341 hearing with the Trustee. On the day of the hearing, Barbie was present and representing multiple clients of hers. One again, in spite of her case load, she provided me with one-on-one attention and a case review prior to our appearance before the trustee. Prior to my case being called, I was able to witness other cases (clients represented by other attorneys). I was in disbelief as I saw several examples of what can happen as a result of poor preparation. One attorney failed to provide the trustee with necessary documents until the very day of the hearing. Needless to say, that hearing did not go well. Another attorney altogether misrepresented several items contained in one of the affidavits…causing the case to be adjourned. I can only imagine the frustration felt by their client as they'll need to go through that process all over again. My meeting with the trustee went very smoothly. I witnessed the trustee reviewing my well-written case and (as a result of Barbie's detail) asking me much fewer questions (than other cases I witnessed). By the way, my case was incredibly complicated and where many attorneys might have taken that opportunity to charge additional fees, Barbie did not. I guess I could summarize this review by saying…if you choose Barbie, you will not regret it. Thanks Barbie! I'll never be able to adequately express my gratitude for what you've done for me and my future.

I have known Barbie Leiber for many years, both personally and professionally. Five years ago, she helped us close on our first house. She was extremely thorough with regard to looking over contracts, and equally as important, explaining them to us in terms we could understand. We recently had Barb...ie draw up a rental agreement for us, as we are moving and renting out our property for the year. Once again, Barbie was informative, knowledgeable, and thorough. What I respect about Barbie is her loyalty. You always have the sense that you are her priority. My husband and I always knew we were in good hands with her!
