Barbie Lieber is the best bankruptcy attorney in NYC. She genuinely changed the course of my entire life from being completely hopeless for years to now being on a path where I'm excited about my future. Candidly, this transformation is a sea change that I did not think was possible before working... with her. Prior to contacting Barbie, I had been in an agreement with a "Debt Settlement Company" / "Debt Consolidation Company". I had no idea that most of the monies I would pay to the debt settlement company were paid, not to the creditors, but to the debt settlement company. That's in the hidden fine print. I had no idea that the debt settlement company would not be able to get all the creditors to sign onto a plan and that I would be sued by creditors who refused to settle. I wasted all this money and time with the debt settlement company. I felt no end in sight; feeling despair. Having said that, Barbie Lieber has a mastery of the laws & procedures and gave me precise & clear guidance from the minute I called her. Thanks to her, I cancelled with the debt settlement company and began my life. She immediately took action to educate and advise me, file me for bankruptcy and stop the lawsuits. Everything she did was transparent and clear. I always felt respected and not judged. I was initially referred to her by two independent sources. These individuals work for two separate companies (One company is a mega-sized bank and the other company is a major hospital system) and both companies have Barbie Lieber, Esq, Lieber & Lieber, LLP listed within the sub-section of a larger directory that makes recommendations for employees seeking a bankruptcy attorney. Needless to say and with all things considered, Barbie is the most skilled attorney I've ever seen and I literally cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much, Barbie.

When I got notified that my credit card company was suing me for outstanding debt, at the end of 2020 no less, when I'd become unemployed, I felt completely overwhelmed. I searched "NYC Bankruptcy lawyer," landed on Avvo, and saw Barbie's excellent ratings. I emailed her right away and she responded ...immediately. I am so glad I found Barbie. She is thorough, efficient, compassionate, and incredibly hard-working. She helped me file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy within weeks of contacting her, and she made the process as easy as it possibly could have been. While filing for bankruptcy can bring feelings of shame and fear, Barbie was in my corner throughout the process and prepared me for every step. I am so grateful to her; it is a huge weight off of my shoulders to not have the debt hanging over me as I try to get back on my feet financially. Hire Barbie, you won't regret it!

Barbie Lieber was able to help my mom deal with a terrible situation after my step-father died, leaving her with well into six figures in credit card debt and no assets. Thanks to Barbie she was able to file for bankruptcy, and now she's got a new start and is able to live her life without fear of p...icking up the phone, and the constant stress of debt collectors. At the end of the day my Mom was so well prepared that the actual hearing was almost anticlimactic. Thanks Barbie!

I was $80k in credit card and personal loan debt after a contentious divorce. I had an income higher than the means test would allow, but child expenses let us go Chapter 7 instead of 13. No other NYC bankruptcy lawyer I spoke with thought this was possible during their consult, but after looking a...t my budget based on actual expenses from the last year she said we could go for Chapter 7. Calls stopped two days after we filed. She prepped me for the 341 meeting really well. My case was pulled by the US Trustee so I had a lot of extra questions in my 341 and they closed the meeting! Waiting for discharge now and I feel like I won the lottery. So amazing.

My situation was very bad and recently turned out to be even worse after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. My debt for Credit Cards was $ 105,000 with monthly interest charges $ 1,300 and minimum monthly payments $ 3,100. There is 3 Student Loans on my shoulder for total $ 86,000 - $800 every... month. My payments were being paid to interest and I was just spinning my wheels. Plus regular monthly payment for rent, electricity, internet, car payment, insurance, food, clothes, my wife credit cards, student loan …….. another $ 4000. To survive we did utilized credit cards, every available dollar used to pay some bills or buying some goods. All credits were used at 100%, credit score going down and down. No vacations, no something special to buy, no life, no future. Wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in October, we start looking for good hospital and started treatments at Memorial Sloan Catering, one of the best in area…. but bills started coming and we had no money to pay it. Daughter pushed us for bankruptcy. I did intensive research all over WEB, had meeting with some lawyers in Brooklyn and Manhattan. I stopped looking after talking to Barbie. We did select Barbie as my lawyer and this was the best decision ever. Barbie kept me apprised of everything and explained it all. She was so transparent and was always there to answer all of my questions. If I send an email, she immediately sends one back! Barbie was able to reduce my monthly payments to $2,245 for 60 months. (She was able to postpone the hearing to await to see which creditors actually filed claims, which ended up being less than anticipated.) This strategic move saved me about $1,000. That was amazing! We can see light at end of tunnel now. We will be free of debt in 56 month. We can have small vacation after we finished battle with cancer. Thank you, Barbie.
