Here at DiBella Law Injury and Accident Lawyers, we’ve always been advocates for reaching your dreams through higher education.
Christopher DiBella was introduced to the idea of higher education at an early age. Christopher still remembers his father coming home from his work at a construction site with a thick legal textbook for Chris to read. The law was of immediate interest to Christopher, as he knew that it would not only give him the chance to learn, but to help others as well.
Christopher went on from reading those legal textbooks to studying in some of Boston’s finest schools. Beginning his post-secondary education at Suffolk University Sawyer School of Management, Chris received his M.B.A. with high honors. He then went on to Boston University where he graduated with a B.A. cum laude. Finally, Chris went to Suffolk University Law School where he earned his J.D. and made the Dean’s list.
Christopher’s passion for higher education is felt by everyone on the team at DiBella Law Injury and Accident Lawyers And it’s why we’re trying to open the doors for even more students who want to better themselves with education.
