Tina and Christopher

Myself and both of my sons used Dibella's Law office to close on our mortgage purchases and refinances. They were very easy to work with and were there for us to answer any questions that we might of had. The paralegal Tina worked very closely with us to ensure everything was processed and received ...in a timely fashion so that our closing went thru on time without any issues. Christopher Dibella closed our loans without any problems or issues and had everything ready when we arrived and explained the documents as we went thru. The whole processed was handled very professional and quickly.

Perfectly run; smooth and efficient

We’ve used DiBella law office for more than one real estate closing/refinance. Everyone is helpful and responsive, and they get things done! Great team, from top to bottom.

Real Estate Transaction

I hired DiBella to handle the sale of my home. The sale went horribly wrong (through no fault of their own, or mine) but Tina (paralegal) handled it wonderfully, held my hand through the whole ordeal that ensued post sale, kept me informed, and was actively on top of the parties responsible for the b...otched sale. She's sweet when you want her to be & a fighter when you need her to be. Chris & Tina both spent considerably more time on my real estate transaction than they should have had to, and did not charge me a penny extra. Can't say enough good things.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
