Arthur M Dibble

A.M. Dibble, is a member of the firm of Malarkey, Seabrook and Dibble. Mr Dibble is a native son of Minnesota and was born in 1882. He came to Portland in 1889, and received his early educational training in the public schools. His legal training was in Leland Stanford, Jr., University of California, from whence he received his A.B. degree. Entering upon the active practice of his profession in 1905, Mr. Dibble, for a period of about three years, was associated with William D Fenton, who for many years was the head of the legal department of the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon. Later Mr Dibble was associated with RW Wilbur, as attorneys for the Portland Railway, Light and Power Company. Since 1913 he has been a member of the firm of Malarkey, Seabrook and Dibble. In the courts he is on an equal footing with the best attorneys of the Northwest. In argument and cross examination he is at his best. I have personally watched him closely in trial of cases. He is calm, dignified, unassuming and reserved. At the same time no move from the side of opposition escapes his attention. He believes in trying all litigation fairly and squarely and entirely upon its merits, and without attempting to excite sympathy from jury or court. Personally he is one of the most unassuming men I ever met. He is a man possessed of keen faculties of mind, and holds a position in Oregon that is not surpassed by any. Mr Dibble is a member of the Multnomah amateur Athletic Club, Chamber of Commerce, Portland Golf Club and the bar associations. He is also a Shriner, Knight Templar and member of the Woodmen of the World. Mr Dibble in 1907 was married to Miss Harriet M Deyoe. The couple have three children, one boy and two girls.
