Christopher DiBella

Christopher DiBella is the founding partner of DiBella Law Injury and Accident Lawyers. Few attorneys are able to understand and relate to the hardships accident victims suffer. Chris remembers vividly, as a child receiving the call no one ever hopes to receive that his older brother was involved in a life-threatening car accident. He remembers the impact the accident had on him and his family. Chris often recalls the stories about his grandfathers who immigrated to the United States with nothing and were forced to work in abhorrent conditions with little to no regard for their safety. Growing up, he also witnessed the needless injuries his father suffered as a laborer in the construction industry. Since Chris was the first generation in his family to attend college, his father pushed him on the path toward law school very early on. He was so passionate about that path that his father once came home from a hard day’s work on the construction site with a 400-page legal textbook for Chris to read. His parents saw the legal profession as a place where one could have a meaningful and profound impact on behalf of others. Early in his career, Chris fought on behalf of employees who were fired or laid off. He went on to serve the community as a prosecutor in district court. Chris understands that the practice of law is and always has been about the people.
