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 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 is the real deal. She's smart, caring, experienced, and hyper-organized—everything you'd want in a lawyer for this difficult period with many moving parts. Bankruptcy can be a nightmare, but Barbie makes it all seem painless. From the get go, she taught me every step of the process, delineated... what she'd need from me, and explained how she foresaw the outcome. She filed within a few short days after I sent her my documents—which is frankly unbelievable, knowing horror stories of other lawyers who are difficult to track down, or who take their time to get anything done. And of course: The filing proceeded in perfect order. Everything said on these reviews has been true from my experience. Barbie is a lifesaver. I can't recommend her enough.

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!
