Objectivity

Alan made war as an advocate for over 20 years, but now he makes peace. He only mediates, so your dispute has his undivided attention.

Both sides of the civil trial docket are no stranger to Alan. As an advocate, he’s prosecuted the case for plaintiffs; he’s held the line for defendants. From it, Alan got his objectivity.

Known Decision-Makers

Alan knows the Houston area legal community, down deep. He’s practiced civil trial law in Montgomery County since 2006. Today, he serves in his second term as Montgomery County Bar President. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, Alan secured the speakers for Law Day – including nearly every judge at the courthouse.

The jury pool is a particularly known quantity to Alan. Outside the civil courtroom, Alan has engaged citizens as a winning campaign manager in Montgomery County twice. And he’s written about it for Texas Lawyer.

But Alan has darkened the doors of other courtrooms too. For over 13 years, Alan’s litigation practice routinely led him to federal court in Houston. He even found himself in federal court in Dallas and Midland/Odessa. He’s also practiced in Harris County for 16 years.

Peers’ Respect

As an advocate, Alan had his peers’ and opponents’ respect. Super Lawyers selected Alan for its Rising Stars list every year from 2012 to 2018 when he aged out.

Justice Medina had choice words on the record about Alan:

…Mr. Bush is the consummate professional.
It’s — he’s just a — he’s an honor to our profession.
If we were working with more lawyers like that,
maybe dockets would get cleared quicker.
— Justice Medina in the 284th Judicial District on 4.28.22

Community-Minded

The Dispute Resolution Center for Montgomery County has a special place with Alan. He’s volunteered there consistently since starting his mediation practice.

After mediation work is done, Alan likes to live. He lifts weights, boxes, swims, runs, enjoys live music and grills in his backyard. He loves his wife and two girls. Alan is also very involved with his church family at Hope Church Montgomery. There, he works with the kids’ ministry — about his maturity level sometimes. He and his wife disciple kids to go on mission where the kids lead a backyard Bible club.

Thought LEadership

Alan routinely shares his practical experience with other lawyers. He speaks and writes.
