About Katherine Lucy
Katherine Lucy Dibble trained as a thinker before she became a lawyer. She earned a B.A. in Philosophy, Politics and Law from the State University of New York at Binghamton in 2007, then took her legal training to SUNY Buffalo Law School, where she received her J.D. in 2011. Those years shaped a methodical approach to problems and an interest in how law and public life intersect.
Her professional record centers in New York. She is listed as counsel at Lipsitz, Ponterio & Comerford, LLC, joining the firm as a lawyer in 2020. That position followed the completion of her legal studies and the early years of practice, where she built experience handling client matters in a variety of settings. The role at Lipsitz, Ponterio & Comerford brought regular courtroom work and case preparation into steady focus.
In practice she routinely prepares filings, conducts legal research, and represents clients in hearings and other proceedings. Her work requires attention to factual detail and careful legal analysis. She handles negotiations on behalf of clients and prepares witnesses and documents for trial or administrative hearings when matters proceed beyond settlement.
Dibble maintains professional ties across Western New York. She holds membership in the State Bar of New York and the Erie County Bar Association. Outside the courtroom she serves on the board of trustees of Family Promise of Western New York, a nonprofit that directs local efforts to support families facing housing instability. That board role places her at the intersection of legal practice and community service.
Colleagues describe her approach as deliberate and direct. She places value on clear communication with clients and on preparing matters so they can be resolved efficiently when possible. When disputes require litigation, she focuses on organizing the record and presenting facts plainly to judges and opposing counsel.
Dibble is admitted to practice in New York and her office work is based through Lipsitz, Ponterio & Comerford, LLC. She continues to represent clients in matters brought in New York courts and administrative forums as part of her current practice focus.
