Barbie consulted on debts I expected to resolve only through bankruptcy. She responded to my queries within hours, listened, got right to the point, and gave invaluable advice that will enable me to minimize penalties without bankruptcy. She also cares even when it there's little financial benefit to... her.

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.

EDIT TO UPDATE: Five years ago my husband and I started our charter 13 journey and as of today our case was discharged, and we’re debt free! All of this couldn’t have been done without Barbie Lieber. From my first phone call with her I knew she was the attorney we needed for our case. Barbie is exce...llent, and you should look no further than her. After seeing other lawyers representing their clients at the first meeting, trust me you’re going to want her on your side! Barbie was kind, compassionate, and extremely thorough. She spoke to me like a person, never putting me down. I could call her 10PM on a weekday, or 8AM on a weekend and she’d always get back to me as soon as possible. My husband and I would love to thank Barbie for everything, and for finally being able to get our financial lives back! My husband and I had a considerable amount of credit card debt along with two student loans between us. The minimum payments were getting out of control and the student loans were unreasonable, and wouldn't work with us. We couldn't get ahead. I didn't know where to turn, so I googled bankrubcy and searched for a highly rated attorney. After reading countless reviews, and feeling a bit uncertain, I decided to put in a request for Barbie to contact me. Early the next morning I received a call from Barbie, explaining the whole process and going over details of our situation. She told me exactly what information we needed to gather and kept in touch often, while assuring me that everything is going to be ok. Barbie is one of the most caring, and wonderful person I have ever met. She was never judgmental, and always listened. She's available all the time, and I mean ALL THE TIME. She called my husband and I to go over the chapter 13 plan on a Sunday! Amazing. I've emailed her with many questions, and she was always quick to respond. At the 341 meeting we were able to listen in on other people's cases and the whole time Barbie assured us we were going to be fine. She gave pointers of what to say and what not to say. It's amazing how many lawyers didn't have their information in order. Papers misssing, wrong information, plans not complete. Barbie on the other hand had everything in order. When I say my husband and I got up faster than we sat im not exaggerating! We seriously were the quickest ones with not even one question asked to use except "where do we bank". Today, my husband received a call, as well as an emailing stating that our chapter 13 plan was approved! We don't even have to attend the court meeting that was scheduled for tomorrow. I couldn't be happier, Barbie saved us so much and finally some money can go to our student loans (which won't be discharged) and credit cards. We cannot thank Barbie enough! Thank you so much for a piece of mind as well as looking forward to a fresh start and better future! Corinne & Nick

I'd like to take a moment and share my recent experience with Ms. Barbie Leiber. I have had a tech-centric small business for the past 10 years that was experiencing steady growth and activity in NYC. Suddenly life took a significant turn in both personal and professional matters in early 2017. With ...it came a dramatic collapse of the business and it began generating tremendous financial pressure (& liabilities). It eventually overwhelmed me and I required the assistance of outside legal expert. Like most entrepreneurs, I could not study/work/fight hard enough to address all the myriad of challenges developing. I had to search for legal expertise to assist me. After receiving 2/3 personal recommendations, googling local attorneys, and researching industry boards profusely, I finally came to the conclusion that Barbie Lieber was the right person for me. I could not have been more correct. To begin with Barbies' experience immediately showed as she was able to calm the nervous wreck I had become. By helping me catch my breath, re-assuring me that this is a winnable fight, and willing to help me through all the legalese, I felt more focused and confident. Then by taking me step-by-step through all of the myriad of options, providing me training/certification, and actually helping me truly understand the context, Barbie was able to give me the CORRECT advice I sought. With her experience and understanding of the legal system, I quickly realized how much I truly benefited by selecting Barbie. Particularly when I saw other people struggle through the process by either doing it themselves or with bad attorneys. If there is one last important item to share: Barbie successfully decreased my debt by over %45 and helped me establish a payment system that let me get back to normal. There is not any better result possible. I am very grateful for her efforts and would like to highly recommend Barbie to anyone! ~ YJK
