Anthony-Ambrosio

“I always aspired to become a lawyer since grammar school because, as my father assured me, it would empower me to make the world a better place. I used the knowledge, skills, and education I received during my three years at CUA law school to help many people during my over fifty years of law practice and I believe my work did make the world a little better place.”

Anthony P. Ambrosio received his B.S. in Accounting from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1963 and his J.D. from The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law in 1966. Ambrosio was admitted to the New Jersey State Bar on November 1, 1966.
