Top best E Lawyers in Louisville | 2563 available

I have over 25 years of experience in criminal law.  I began my career in 1986 as Chief Narcotics Prosecutor in the Jefferson County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office (Louisville's first "Drug Czar").  I have developed an intimate knowledge of how prosecution works, and I use this knowledge to aggressively manage a client's defense.. Criminal investigations can devastate people's lives.  Overzealous prosecutors can make good people feel bad, and questions raised during investigations can color the opinions of colleagues, friends and relatives.  I believe defending a client is not just about the legal issues - it's personal and emotional.  In order to provide the best defense, it is important to really care about the client - to walk a mile in their shoes.

I have directed my own legal practice for 33 years. During my years as an attorney, I have provided legal services and litigated claims for a multitude of satisfied clients. My practice involves issues related to personal injury and criminal defense.. I represent persons injured in car crashes, retail stores, rental properties, etc. through the negligence of others. I litigate cases regarding direct and indirect injury to health and property from oil and gas operations through civil claims for damages due to industry negligence, products liability, trespass, nuisance, and fraud.. I represent people charged with crimes from misdemeanors to felonies. I also represent people charged with traffic matters and before the Department of Motor Vehicles.

I have been representing people in bankruptcy for almost 25 years.  As a previous staff attorney for the bankruptcy court in Western  District of Kentucky, I began my practice in the early nineties and now have five offices throughout Louisville, Frankfort and Southern Indiana.  I am one of only five consumer bankruptcy attorneys in Kentucky that have been certified by the American Board of Certification.. I have a wonderful staff of women including my daughter who is my assistant office manager and a few good men (my twin sons will be taking the Kentucky Bar in July and joining my firm in August) who love helping people regain their financial life.  Call us today for a complimentary consultation where we will sit down with you and help you understand all of your financial options.

I have been practicing personal injury law in Louisville and the surrounding counties for the last eleven years.  I very much enjoy helping people who have been injured in their attempt to obtain justice.  My office focuses on client needs.  I do everything I can to obtain a fair and reasonable outcome.  I also co-counsel cases for other attorneys.  I have obtained significant settlements and judgments, and I welcome any questions.  Please feel free to contact me via phone or email.  I also invite you to visit my website at to learn more about my practice.

I have been practicing in the estate planning area since 1982.  I have an undergraduate degree in accounting, so I have always been interested in the tax planning aspects of estate planning, as well as working with individuals.  I have worked in virtually all phases of estate planning, including the preparation of comperehensive (and often complex) estate plans, including working with owners of closely held businesses, nonprofit organizations, professionals, and a great variety of interesting people.  Each family situation presents unique opportunities (and often challenges) and I try to approach each client as if they were a member of my own family.. With the birth (adoption) of my two special needs children in the early 1990's, I became very interested in planning for special needs children.  This work has enabled me to not only help my clients, but to also learn from them!  Together we work to solve the individual special needs planning situation in order to maximize total resources available to the special needs individual.  This includes maximimizing government benefits such as Social Security and Medicaid, arranging appropriate Trustee and advisory roles, identifying service-providers who may be able to help the individual in his or her special situation, providing for maximum flexibility for unforseen circumstances, etc.  I prepare estate plans for clients with special needs loved ones (so called "third party" special needs trusts), as well "first party" special needs trusts for disabled individuals who may have received an unplanned inheritance, a lawuit settlement, etc.  Without the use of a special needs trust, the disabled person may lose his or her benefits and we can avoid that outcome in the vast majority of cases.. My practice if very personalized and has brought me great personal and professional satisfaction for well over 30 years.

I have been practicing in the area of personal injury since 1998 with an emphasis on litigaiton.  I have tried cases in both Kentucky and Indiana and have handled numerous appeals in the state and federal courts of both states.  I take pride in having direct, frequent contact with my clients and in my ability to handle both relatively straight-forward as well as more complex cases.

I have been a practicing attorney in Kentucky for over 37 years, most of which was as a prosecutor in the County Attorney's office.  My experience is in the area of criminal law and family law as a prosecutor, so that is also what I practice as a private attorney.. My goal is to help you resolve your case/situation.  Attendant to this goal is my desire to help you not repeat behaviors that have caused some trouble in the past.. I have a cat named Bubba, and I love to do needlework of various kinds.  I have taught lots of people how to knit, crochet, cross-stitch and needlepoint, and find much enjoyment in doing so.  I also work crossword and sudoku puzzles, and play the piano.  Most of all I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

I grew up in Western Kentucky where I was very close to my grandmother, who died with Alzheimer’s the day before I entered law school.  Having grown up knowing and loving Mamaw and other seniors, I was disheartened as I saw how elderly individuals are often discounted by society.  I strive to treat my clients as I would want Mamaw to be treated.

I grew up in Louisville and graduated from Ballard High School, went to UK for my undergraduate degree in Finance, and attended Chase College of Law in Northern Kentucky. I am licensed to practice in all state and federal courts in Kentucky as well as state courts in Indiana. I am passionate about helping my clients achieve their goals and am dedicated to their success, no matter their needs.

I first became interested in becoming a lawyer after reading books about noted trial lawyers such as Gerry Spence, Race Horse Haynes and Melvin Belli.  I was inspired by their stories to go to law school even though I had already graduated from college and owned a successful business.  I sold my business, was admitted to law school and dedicated myself to learning everything I could about being a courtroom lawyer.. I learned that trying a case well is a skill that can’t be learned just from books.  It takes a  lot of experience in a courtroom to really develop the ability.. I have now been a trial lawyer for over 27 years.  My first jury trial took place in 1987-an acquittal on a DUI case.  Since that time, I have tried many cases in both State and Federal Courts ranging from murder and drug trafficking down to accusations of stealing a pack of gum from Krogers.  Most cases settle without the need for a trial but I believe my clients receive more favorable offers of settlement because Prosecutors know that if an offer is not fair, I will not hesitate to go to trial and that I have the skills and experience to obtain a favorable outcome.

I began my career as an Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney here in Louisville, Kentucky, handling some of the state's largest cases. While there, I was a member of the economic crime unit, the FAST team, general trial unit and served as the welfare fraud liaison.

I am very passionate about the practice of law and love when I am able to assist my clients with their legal needs and make their lives better.  I feel privileged when my clients trust me as their lawyer, which is why I will always fight my hardest for them in the courtroom, at the negociation table, or anywhere else I may be needed.

Before law school, I did not know very many attorneys and I do not come from a family of attorneys.  I believe I can relate to all of my clients on a personal level since I have a very diverse background.  At the Tibbs Law Office, our goal is to be very accessible and focus on client service.  As the attorney, I am involved on every case that is in the office.

I am the president and lead attorney of Bowman Legal, Inc, a law firm located in Louisville, Kentucky. A wholly owned veteran business. I created this firm with the idea that a law firm needs to be client centered and focused rather than attorney or firm focused. I have worked for a variety of sized firms and have had corner offices, but I found that meeting the client where they are and meeting their needs far outweighed the nice office.
