Objectivity
Alan made war as an advocate for over 20 years, but now he makes peace.
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.
Bar Association Leadership
Alan is far from passive. He’s honored to serve the legal community. Like Alan leads in bar association work, expect him to be actively engaged in your mediation … but at all the right times and in all the right ways.

“…Mr. Bush is the consummate professional...
[H]e’s an honor to our profession.
If we were working with more lawyers like that,
maybe dockets would get cleared quicker.”
Thought LEadership
Alan routinely shares his practical experience with other lawyers. He speaks and writes.
The State Bar of Texas has called on Alan to present for CLE conferences — like the SBOT Annual Meeting, Business Disputes and the Labor & Employment Institute.
The Corporate Counsel Section’s Corporate Counsel Review has published Alan’s articles four times — with a fifth on the way. And Texas Lawyer has picked up over a dozen more.
cancer journey
At 38 years old, Alan discovered he had genetic colon cancer. He fought three rounds with cancer and today, by a miracle, is alive and cancer-free.
The victory had a heavy cost. He closed his successful firm on The Woodlands Waterway. The “Mother of All Surgeries,” as the MD Anderson surgeons called it, kept Alan out of the office for four months. Today, he has a permanent ostomy.
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 serves as an ordained deacon and teaches with the kids’ ministry — about his maturity level sometimes.
