I invite you to review my website at where you will find additional information about my background and experience. As of May 16, 2015, I have been licensed in the State of Texas for 39 years. I was an Assistant DA in Dallas County from 1979-1982, and thereafter entered private practice mainly in Dallas County. Starting in 1997 I gradually increased my practice in Tarrant County to the point that most of the cases I handle now are in Tarrant County rather than Dallas County. I am on the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) panel for federal court appointments in the Dallas and Fort Worth divisions of the Northern District of Texas where I do both trial and appellate work as well as federal writs. In Tarrant county I am court-appointed to cases in the county criminal courts and district courts. State and federal court appointments together constitute a little more than half of all the cases I handle. The rest of my cases involve people who hire me to represent them in court.

Simply the BEST
We hired Mr. Bush after over a year with a different attorney who simply did not communicate well and appeared to be tired of working on our case, and we felt like we were going nowhere fast. We had the opposite, most favorable experience with Steven Bush. Our situation was complicated as the actua...

Recommendation for Mr. J.Steven Bush
I would recommend Mr. Bush to anyone needing defense in a criminal proceeding. I met with him and found him to be trustworthy, attentive (a good listener), and knowledgable. He researched my issue prior to our meeting and was very forthcoming about possible resolutions and/or consequencies. Our finan...
"I have known Steven for several years. I prosecuted many cases that he has handled. I can tell you that he was always very professional, prepared, and compassionate. He always fought hard for his clients."
"I have known and worked with Mr. Bush for many years. He is knowledgeable and represents his clients with excellence."
"Mr. Bush and I worked together on a drug case. He was a great mentor and I learned a lot from him about trial tactics throughout the course of the trial. He is a highly skilled advocate in the courtroom and very knowledgeable in the area of criminal defense."
"Steven and I represented co-defendants in a jury trial in Federal Court in Fort Worth. Steven is courageous, tenacious and cares about his clients. I endorse him without reservation."
"I've worked with Mr. Bush for over three years now. I had the distinct privilege to work with him on three separate criminal cases that went to jury trial. The most significant of the three was a case in which we secured a not guilty verdict on the charge of Murder. That case was proof that he is a true intellectual and his trial skills are unsurpassed. He has an uncanny ability to truly shoot from the hip. The amount of knowledge and experience he has makes Mr. Bush a formidable opponent for the best that any district attorney's office has to offer. Samuel R. Terry Attorney at Law"
