Kent Westberry is a Senior Partner at Landrum & Shouse LLP, with over 31 years of criminal and civil litigation experience in federal and state courts.  Kent has defended some of the largest and most highly publicized criminal prosecutions in Kentucky.  However, despite the nature of the cases handled by Kent and Landrum & Shouse, it is our belief that the most successful criminal and civil defenses should not be high profile. Attorneys are most effective in the investigative stage, before an indictment has been returned and in the headlines.  Kent also practices in the areas of commercial litigation, personal injury (defendant) and the representation of attorneys in Bar discipline proceedings.. Kent has been listed in the White Collar Crime, Commercial Litigation and Personal Injury Defense sections for publications such as Best Lawyers in America and Kentucky Super Lawyers Business Edition. He has, for many years, maintained an AV® Preeminent™ rating from Martindale-Hubbell.  He served as a federal prosecutor and as President of the Kentucky Bar Association in 2004-2005.. In 2005 and thereafter, Kent served as lead counsel for former Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher in the Merit System investigation which resulted in a dismissal of all charges brought against this former Governor. Kent has recently served as counsel to a former Governor from the Northeast with regard to a Federal Grand Jury Investigation involving a now defunct business college in Kentucky. This investigation was closed without criminal charges being brought. Over the past several years, Kent has represented clients in criminal investigations and trials on behalf of the coal industry. In particular, Kent has been involved in the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster where an investigation was conducted by the Mining Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") and the United States Attorney's Office in Utah. In the past, Kent was involved in representing executives in the Pyro Mine disaster where no charges were brought against his client. More recently, Kent obtained an acquittal for a coal mining executive in United States v. B&D Mining in federal court in Abington, Virginia. Kent has also obtained a significant judgment of acquittal for felony counts, post verdict, in United States v. KenAmerican Resources, et al. for his client who was a mine superintendent. The court ultimately sentenced this client as well as others to probation after a month long jury trial.  Kent recently obtained an acquittal for an environmental compliance officer in Ohio v. United Wastewater.. Kent and his firm have handled virtually all types of White Collar matters. Kent has represented clients in matters involving  state and federal tax violations, mail and wire fraud, healthcare fraud false statements, RICO, government contract fraud, environmental crime, money laundering, securities and insurance fraud. Kent has represented state court judges, attorneys, physicians, and other professionals in criminal investigations. Kent frequently advises businesses, municipalities and individuals in responding to requests for documents and records from grand jury subpoenas. Early in his career, Kent obtained an acquittal for an accountant in a criminal tax prosecution, United States v. Schultz. Other recent examples of successful representation involve convincing the United States Attorney's Office not to seek an indictment involving a former healthcare executive in a highly publicized investigation in Louisville. Kent is currently representing businesses regarding alleged tobacco excise tax violations in investigations throughout the Southeastern United States.. More recently, Kent has been involved in defending elected and appointed officials in voter fraud cases brought in federal court. These prosecutions have involved substantial post trial briefing as a result of the recent Supreme Court decision in Skilling as well as alleged Brady/Giglio violations resulting from the government's failure to produce exculpatory and/or impeachment material in advance of trial.. Kent served with distinction as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky from 1981-1987. Kent has also served as a Special Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court and as Chairman of the Civil Justice Reform Act for the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky.

Domestic violence representation includes defending false allegations, recanting witnesses, prior domestic assault convictions, protective order violations, EPO hearings, IPO hearings, and motions challenging no contact orders.

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 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. The vast trial experience I acquired has made me very capable of zeaously representing each and every one of my clients in areas of personal injury and criminal defense.

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.

I am truly passionate about being a lawyer.  I enjoy and value the trust   that comes with the responsibility our clients give me as their lawyer. This passion allows me to fight hard in the courtroom as my clients advocate to ensure their rights are protected.. Regarding my background, I am originally from Atlanta, I have lived in Louisville for the last 25 years, of which the last 15 years I have been a sucessful trial attorney. Back in 2008, I was voted by the LBA as the "Frank Haddad Young Lawyer of the Year."  Since then, I have won several Walker Advocacy awards for trial success and recently was selected as 2017 Top 100 Criminal Defense Attorneys in the united States.   Additionally, I also take pride in having a great work ethic and valuing my clients.  I practice in family and criminal court and I am familiar with procedures in both courtrooms.  It is invaluable to have an attorney that understand how to handle cases in both courtrooms.. 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 licensed in both Kentucky and Indiana and actively practice in both states. Prior to focusing on estate planning and elder law, I had an extensive background in litigation, having handled cases in trials, and on appeal, in both states. This background allows me to  help fully protect my client's interests when necessary.

I am Former top-level prosecutor with several years of experience handling some of the community's largest cases. I have extensive experience with cases involving Trafficking and Possession of Drugs, DUIs, Federal Drug Trafficking and White Collar Federal Crimes, Murder, Assault 1/2/3, Possession of guns by a felon, Marijuana Possession, Domestic Violence/Assault 4, DVO/EPO Hearings, Juvenile Law, Theft Related Crimes, and representing Father's seeking custody of their children. I am licensed to practice in all District, Circuit, and Federal Courts of Kentucky, and in the Federal Southern District of Indiana. I'm well known by the bar to be a respectful but highly aggressive lawyer, not afraid to take a case to trial to demand my clients' innocence. I have a great relationship with all of the judges, police officers, & prosecutors, which greatly benefits me often getting very good outcomes for my clients.

I am a trial lawyer in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, and have been practicing law for over 32 years.  I practice in a wide variety of fields, including criminal defense, attorney and judicial misconduct defense, DUI law, traffic tickets and citations, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and prescription pill defense, personal injury, bankruptcy, wills trusts and probate, administrative law, divorce, child custody, supprt and visitation (including pet litigation), and  the general practice of civil and criminal law. I have been lecturing both live and virtually on legal issues regularly for the past 23 years.

I am a native Louisville attorney that specializes in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases.  I worked as a bill collecter for four years before going to law school, and now I am happy to be on the other side, helping my clients get a fresh start and increasing the quality of my clients' lives.  I have helped my clients discharge millions of dollars of debt.  Let me help you too.

I am a Mother of three, Wife, and a litigator.  I understand the commitments and importance of work,family and caring for children.  It is this focus and understanding that drove me to become a family law, divorce, custody, and employment law litigator. Family and Work are the two most important and impactful areas of nearly every person's life.  It is imporant to me to be efficient and effective for each of my clients, and give them the personal attention and legal skill necessary to accomplish a positive result in their case.
