Beth Tibbott Esq.
Attorney Beth Tibbott has been a driven and resourceful advocate since her legal career began in 2003. After graduating Summa Cum Laude in 2002 from Mount Aloysius College, Beth accepted a position at the Pittsburgh law firm of Dornish & Scolieri, P.C. as a Law Clerk in 2003. Her natural talents for keen observation and critical analysis were utilized by the firm to prepare and draft pleadings, commercial agreements of sale and contracts. She assisted attorneys in the practice areas of civil litigation, landlord-tenant law, property law, business law, and estate planning and administration. And, as Beth worked on these matters for the firm and was a practicing real estate agent, she was also attending law school at Duquesne University School of Law. Upon graduating from law school at Duquesne and receiving her Juris Doctorate in 2007, Attorney Beth Tibbott sat for the bar examination and was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar that year. Beth accepted a position at Allegheny Attorneys at Law in Pittsburgh, PA where she became a valuable asset as an attorney working on pleadings, briefs, motions, and praecipes for the firm. It was here that she first discovered her passion for the challenging elements of defending those accused of a crime. Then, in 2008, Beth took an attorney position for the Cook Law Group. Beth prepared for and attended all aspects of criminal law cases, which included jail visits, preliminary hearings, arraignments, motions, trials, sentencings, and plea entries. As her passion for defense law grew, the successful results Beth was able to obtain for her clients also grew. She wanted to do more and decided to turn back to her roots and focus on family law in addition to criminal defense. That determination led to establishing the Tibbott & Richardson law firm with Attorney Dana Richardson. Beth and Dana have built Tibbott & Richardson to help people make the hard decisions to make their lives better. Beth’s skill set and experience has developed over the years to focus on complex child custody, custody communication coaching, and criminal defense. She excels at providing strategic communication coaching and complex case strategies to custody clients and works with experts nationwide to achieve clients’ goals.
