Every Case is Personal ™

Handling Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Cases

As I reflect on my journey to becoming the founding partner of DiBella Law, I realize it’s been anything but conventional. My path to law has been shaped by a tapestry of personal experiences and a deep-seated desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.

My story begins in the backdrop of Queens, New York, where my parents grew up and my father was a hardworking laborer in the construction industry, and my immigrant grandparents taught me the values of perseverance and resilience. Watching them struggle through challenging conditions,

I learned early on the importance of standing up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves.

This realization hit home in a profoundly personal way when I was just a child. The chilling phone call that informed us of my brother’s life-threatening car accident is etched in my memory. Witnessing the impact of this event on my family, I understood the devastating ripple effect such incidents can have, not just physically but emotionally and financially.

Fast forward to a pivotal moment in my life, a harrowing incident on Route 93 in New Hampshire. My two young sons and I were in a severe car accident. As I sat amidst the wreckage, nursing my injuries, memories of my brother’s accident flooded back.

It was a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of having someone to advocate for you when you’re at your most vulnerable.

These experiences, combined with the stories of hardship and sacrifice from my family, set me on a path towards law. I remember my father, after a long day’s work, bringing home a 400-page legal textbook. It wasn’t just a book, it was a symbol of hope and aspiration. To my parents, the legal profession was more than statutes and courtrooms, it was a platform to effect real change and protect the underdog.

Embracing this ethos, I dove headfirst into the legal world. My journey took me through Suffolk University Law School and Boston University, where I honed my skills and deepened my understanding of the law. But, for me, the practice of law has always been about more than just legal theories. It’s about people, their stories, and their struggles.

In my early career, I championed the rights of employees who were unjustly fired or laid off, and later, as a prosecutor in district court, I continued to advocate for justice.

Each case was a reminder of my family’s lessons and my own experiences, a blend of empathy and a commitment to fairness.

Now, as the leader of DiBella Law, I don’t just see clients, I see reflections of my own journey. Whether it’s fighting for someone injured in an accident or standing up against injustice, I approach each case with a personal understanding and a relentless drive to achieve the best outcome for my clients.

My story is more than just a narrative of becoming a lawyer.

It’s a testament to the belief that with empathy, dedication, and a fierce commitment to justice, we can make a significant difference in people’s lives.

At DiBella Law, we’re not just practicing law, we’re upholding a legacy of resilience, advocacy, and the unyielding pursuit of justice.
