Dibble is a partner with Wallace & Dibble, LLC in Greenville, where his practice includes estate planning and administration, trusts, corporate law, real estate, municipal matters, business transactions and elder law.

Dibble earned his bachelor’s degree in political science and pre-law from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, graduating summa cum laude with a 4.0 grade-point average. He earned his law degree from the Duquesne University School of Law. While in law school, he participated on the Moot Court Trial Team and was named to the Order of Barristers in recognition of outstanding trial advocacy.
