About Raymond William
Raymond William Ferrario has been part of Pennsylvania’s legal community for decades. He began his legal career after completing his studies at Temple University Beasley School of Law, earning a J.D. in 1981. Before law school he studied at Pennsylvania State University, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in 1978, concentrating on political science, English and accounting. The mix of liberal arts and number work shaped an analytical approach he has kept throughout his career.
Early on Ferrario established himself in regional practice. He was admitted to the bar in 1981 and later secured admission to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Those credentials allowed him to handle matters in state court, in the federal system and at the appellate level. He has maintained long-standing ties to the local bar and to federal bankruptcy practitioners in his region.
He is a member of the U.S. Bankruptcy Bar for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. He also holds membership in the Lackawanna County Bar Association and has been active in bar organizations since 1981. Those affiliations have kept him connected to developments in bankruptcy law and to the procedural changes that affect practice in federal courts.
Ferrario’s work spans matters that commonly arise where bankruptcy and local practice intersect. He appears in proceedings in the Middle District’s bankruptcy court and handles related litigation in Pennsylvania state courts and federal district courts. His admission to the Third Circuit means he can file and argue appeals when cases move beyond trial-level review.
Colleagues describe him as steady and thorough in his preparation. He takes a plainspoken approach in court filings and prefers clear presentation of the factual record. He handles client matters across a range of transactional and adversarial settings that touch on insolvency and creditor-debtor relations.
He continues to practice in Pennsylvania, maintaining an active role in bankruptcy proceedings and related litigation. His current practice focuses on bankruptcy matters and litigation in federal and state tribunals.
