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.

Atty. Christopher DiBella

I give Christopher DiBella a five star rating, because his knowledge of the legal system is extensive and he has the patience to deal with very difficult situations. He listened very carefully to my situation, gave me immediate advice and told me exactly how it would be handled. He did exactly what... he said he would do, and followed up on every detail. He has gotten me thru a very difficult time with confidence, as he returns all phone calls and emails even if he's out of town. I am very fortunate to have him on my side fighting for my rights and getting me everything I deserve.

Outstanding! Genuine! Efficient!

I made the decision to change counsel very last minute. I had called around to different offices in the area what first grabbed my attention was his phenomenal paralegal. She took my call with genuine kindness, concern and a sense of urgency. An outstanding first impression of whom I'd be working w...ith. When I spoke with Chris, he was very knowledgable, calm, patient, genuine, real. He took immediate action and handled things in hours that had previously lacked attention. I know in the grand scheme of things my case , by far, isn't the craziest case a lawyer of his caliber has ever dealt with. That being said, I felt Chris treated it with importance and had a GENUINE interest in advocating for the best real and possible outcome. His knowledge of the law and his ability, professionalism and overall demeanor when dealing with people has lifted a TREMENDOUS burden. I rave about him to everyone and will continue to do so!

Couldn't be happier

I was in a car accident and my boss wanted to help me out by giving me his lawyer. However, that lawyer was not experienced in this field and put me and my lawsuit in a terrible position. It took over two years before he decided to tell me to find someone else and didn't recommend anyone. During thos...e two years, I heard from him a handful of times. When I started searching for a new lawyer, I was dealing with PTSD and more than enough stress. I just wanted this to be over. Christopher DiBella had a family member that was in a serious car accident. He just understood. He let me cry my eyes out and then held my hand through the process. He was caring. It meant the world. It was a breath of fresh air. I wish I met him at the beginning of this all. Christopher kept in touch and was on top of it all. He finished the case and sent me a call to tell me the great news. He had the same level of excitement as me. I would recommend him to anyone!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
