Barbie made this whole ordeal quick and painless. I was burdened dealing with the thought of bankruptcy and how i can have any sort of future. I contacted Barbie and she walked me through everything and really made me feel better about this troublesome process. Now I can look forward to tomorrow. Thank you Barbie!

Barbie is very frank and patient. I called her today to find out if bankruptcy is right for me and she explained everything patiently. She is direct but understands the problem. She suggested things I can do and was very helpful over the phone. Thanks Barbie. Liza

I probably won't have enough words to thank Barbie. I literally lived a nightmare for the past two years. Now I can breath, I can sleep, and I can enjoy my life all over again. My fears are gone along with my debt. My phone doesn't ring, my mailbox is empty, and nobody rings the doorbell at 7 o'clock in the morning... I was an owner of several businesses that didn't survive the economic decline. My case was very complicated, and thus my life until I called Barbie. I found Barbie through the internet, saved her profile just in case if I have to file for the bankruptcy. I clearly remember that Sunday morning when I dialed her number and in my surprise that very same day she called me back. In my wildest dreams I never thought that an attorney will possibly do it. She was awesome, straight to the point, while I was crying out about the troubles I am in, she was taking notes.... The case was filed within weeks. 341 meeting could've not gone more smoothly and three months later I was free of debt!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. If anyone ever will need an attorney please call Barbie right away. Very professional, quick, and passionate about her work. EXCELLENT!

My boyfriend and I closed on our NYC co-op last week and if it wasn’t for Michael Simon, I would have been driven mad. Buying a co-op in New York takes a long time (between 3-6 months) and requires far too many people and a lot of coordination. Michael’s involvement in our transaction unequivocally made for a smoother process. Michael’s prices were higher than other real estate attorneys that I compared him with; however, his responsiveness and willingness to wrangle those with poor communication made it worth the extra cash. Above all, his response times were impeccable: I was regularly able to reach him with a single phone call and he nearly always responded to missed calls and emails within the hour. It was easy to schedule with him and we dealt with Michael directly 90% of the time, though his assistant Lillian is also great to work with. Out of the cast of 8 involved in our transaction, Michael was without question our most valuable player -- as well as the most humorous. My boyfriend and I highly recommend Michael Simon and would happily work with him in the future.

Barbie is the Bomb! 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. Once 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) being satisfied with the information provided. 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.
