Our Firm


Experience you can trust.

Liberatore DeBoer & Ryan, PC is a leading law firm serving Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina with a reputation for excellence in the areas of financial litigation and restructuring, bankruptcy representation, appellate litigation, real estate transactions, and estate planning. With over 80 years of combined experience, our attorneys have the expertise to appropriately and competently manage each case. 

Our firm has intentionally limited its scope of practice, which has allowed us to optimize client representation and reduce conflicts of interest. We are committed to problem-solving through both negotiation and litigation. We take on complex commercial matters and regularly litigate financial issues against some of the largest banks in the world and some of the largest law firms in the South. We also provide representation to creditor committees and creditors in large and small cases. Our appellate practice handles civil appeals, partnering with trial attorneys across the Commonwealth.

In addition, we also have a strong focus on transactional law matters, including business formation, real estate, estate planning, and estate administration. We can help clients set up a business structure, and guide them through the complexities of buying, selling, and leasing commercial and residential properties. We also provide estate planning services, including wills, trust, powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. Furthermore, after the passing of a loved one, we can help you successfully navigate the estate administration process.

We understand that any legal matter can be stressful, and we are dedicated to providing our clients with personalized attention and solutions tailored to their unique needs and goals. For more information on our attorneys, please review their professional biographies on the Attorneys page.
