Team Member

Mr. Gordon Dallon Bush, II, commonly referred to as Dallon by his family, friends, and clients alike, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2001. His degree was awarded in economics with heavy emphasis in the fields of computer science and mathematics. Immediately following college, however, Mr. Bush followed his gut intuition toward a different path and began studying law at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center of Louisiana State University, and in 2004, he earned a Juris Doctor degree, as well as a Bachelors of Civil Law degree. 

Mr. Bush began his legal career with Percy & Percy in Ascension Parish, Louisiana and became a named partner within five years. It didn’t take him long to establish his own practice, Bush Law Firm, L.L.C. Since then, he has practiced in the fields of criminal defense, personal injury, general civil litigation, and deportation proceedings. Aside from his active private practice, Mr. Bush accepted a position as an Assistant District Attorney for the 23rd JDC District Attorney’s Office in Ascension Parish, Louisiana. During this time, he continued to focus on prosecution of criminal matters, personal injury litigation, and family and immigration law before returning his time and devotion to his private practice once more.
