About Alexander A.
Alexander A. Bush is an attorney admitted in Maryland and the District of Columbia. He earned his J.D., M.A. and a certificate in criminal legal practice from Pepperdine University in 2012, and holds a B.A. from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where he studied history, political science and French. His academic record combines formal legal training with graduate study in dispute resolution.
At Pepperdine, Mr. Bush completed work in alternative dispute resolution and criminal legal practice alongside his law degree. That mix of study gave him classroom exposure to litigation and to non‑litigation tools, such as mediation and negotiated settlement. The criminal legal practice certificate signals additional coursework and practical training beyond typical law school requirements.
Bush’s undergraduate years at UMBC provided a humanities and social sciences grounding. Studying history and political science shaped how he evaluates precedent and policy. Work in French broadened his cultural and linguistic perspective. Taken together, his education reflects an interest in both the mechanics of law and the ways disputes are resolved outside the courtroom.
Publicly available details do not list a specific firm affiliation. In practice he has worked across matters that draw on his combined training. He handles criminal matters and engages in alternative dispute resolution processes, including mediation and settlement negotiations. His work calls for factual analysis, familiarity with criminal procedure, and careful negotiation when cases can be resolved without trial.
Peers and clients describe him as deliberate and analytical. He tends to approach cases by assembling the core facts, identifying legal leverage points, and weighing the costs of litigation against potential gains at the bargaining table. That method reflects both his historical training and his ADR background. He uses courtroom advocacy when necessary and leans toward negotiation when it better serves a client’s objectives.
He is admitted to practice in Maryland and in the District of Columbia and conducts work in both jurisdictions. He currently focuses his practice on criminal defense and alternative dispute resolution matters in Maryland and the District of Columbia.
