I serve clients needing help with DUIs, traffic tickets, expungements, drug charges, domestic violence, misdemeanors and all felonies.. Examples of other charges include marijuana offenses, drug trafficking, drug possession, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine and prescription offenses.. High speed speeding tickets, driving on suspended license, no insurance, expired registration are examples of traffic tickets for which I represent people.. DUI representation includes drunk driving defense, driving while using prescription medication, driving while high on other drugs, refusals, ignition interlock applications, and defending current DUIs for people with previous drunk driving convictions.. 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 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 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 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 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 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.
