Louisville Family Law & Criminal Defense Attorneys

Who Fight for What Matters Most

Legal trouble rarely arrives at a convenient time. A custody fight, a protective order, a felony charge — each one puts something you can't replace at risk.

Tibbs Law takes those cases to trial when trial is the best option. We won't push you toward a quick settlement that costs you later. And you won't be handed off: from the first call, you work with your attorney directly — no layers of staff, no messages passed back and forth.

Whether you need a Louisville divorce attorney for a contested case, a flat-fee uncontested divorce, or a criminal defense lawyer who has actually tried cases in front of a Jefferson County jury, we shape the strategy around your situation.

We are proud to serve the Louisville community with representation that stands up under scrutiny and delivers meaningful results.

Contact us today at (502) 654-8422 to talk with a Louisville attorney today.

I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Tibbs and he made me feel so cared for, explained everything to me and always made time to talk to me. I would 100% recommend this firm to anyone who asks me.”

Understanding the Legal Distinctions Between Burglary and Robbery
Divorce and Child Custody Representation in Louisville
Divorce can affect your children, your home, and your finances. Tibbs Law helps Louisville clients with contested and uncontested divorce, custody disputes, and changes to parenting plans. We listen to what matters to your family, explain your options, and prepare for court when an agreement is out of reach. You work directly with attorney Krsna Tibbs on an approach built around your situation.
A custody dispute may begin during divorce or after a parenting plan is already in place. Some parents can reach an agreement. Others need the court to decide. We help you prepare for either path while keeping your children’s daily lives and your relationship with them in view.
DUI and Violent Crime Defense in Louisville

Domestic Violence Defense and Protective Orders in Louisville

A domestic violence allegation or request for a protective order can affect your home, your children, and more than one court case. Tibbs Law helps people seeking protection and people responding to allegations. We review the facts, the court papers, and any connected family or criminal matter before planning the next step.

A protective order may affect contact or parenting time while other issues are still pending. We help you understand what the order says and prepare for the hearing ahead. When family and criminal cases overlap, we consider how a decision in one case may affect the other

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your situation and how we may be able to help. Tell us what happened, what concerns you most, and whether you have an upcoming court date. We’ll discuss your options and the next steps.

Legal fees depend on the type of case, the issues involved, and the work required. A contested custody dispute or serious criminal charge may require more preparation than a straightforward matter. We discuss fees during your initial consultation so you understand the proposed costs before deciding how to proceed.

Bring any court papers, hearing notices, current orders, and agreements related to your case. Relevant messages, financial records, or arrest paperwork may also help, depending on the matter. A short timeline and a list of questions can make the conversation more useful. You can contact us even if you do not have every document yet.

Contact us as soon as possible and tell us the date, the court, and the type of hearing. We’ll review whether we can take on your case and what preparation may be needed. Have your hearing notice and any related court papers available when you speak with us.

Not every case requires a trial. Family law disputes may be resolved through negotiation or mediation, and some criminal cases reach a negotiated resolution. Court hearings or approval may still be required. We review the facts, explain the available options, and prepare for trial when that is the appropriate path.

The timeline depends on the issues, available evidence, court schedules, and whether the parties can reach an agreement. A case with several disputed issues usually requires more work than one where the main terms are settled. After reviewing your situation, we can explain the likely stages and what may affect the timing.

Yes. Our work covers both areas, including situations where domestic violence allegations, protective orders, and custody disputes overlap. We review how the proceedings relate to one another and plan around the full situation. This helps you understand how a decision in one case may affect another.

Yes. Tibbs Law offers flat-fee uncontested divorce representation. We first review your circumstances and whether you and your spouse agree on the issues that must be resolved. During your consultation, we can explain whether this option fits your case, the quoted fee, and what services it covers.
