After making war as a civil trial advocate for over 20 years, Alan now makes peace. He only mediates today, so your dispute has his undivided attention.
Before becoming a mediator, Alan’s civil trial advocacy veered into many areas. He’s duked it out in the courtroom over:
Both sides of the civil trial docket are no stranger to Alan. He’s prosecuted the cause for plaintiffs; he’s held the line for defendants. From it, Alan got his objectivity.
Alan has already brought his objectivity to bear in mediation. He’s mediated civil trial disputes over employment, contracts, real estate, construction, fraud and personal injuries.
Alan knows the Montgomery County legal community, down deep. He’s practiced civil trial law here since 2006. Since 2019, Alan has served with the Montgomery County Bar Association. Today, he’s serving in his second term as county bar President. In 2023 and 2024, Alan secured the speakers for Law Day – including nearly every judge at the courthouse.
The jury pool in Montgomery County is also a known quantity to Alan. Outside the civil courtroom, Alan has engaged citizens as a campaign manager. And he’s written about it for Texas Lawyer twice.
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.
As a civil trial 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.
