Alan R. Houston grew up in rural Leamington, Utah before attending Dixie State. At Dixie, Alan turned his life-long love of reading and writing into an English major with a literature emphasis and graduated in 2008 with his Bachelor's Degree and Summa Cum Laude. Somehow, even after a four-year English degree, Alan still enjoyed reading and writing so he attended law school at the University of Utah where he traded novels and short stories for casebooks and legal treatises.

Now, as an associate attorney at Strong & Hanni Law Firm in Salt Lake City, Alan gets his fill of reading in the form of business contracts, organizational documents, and statutes and cases regarding all types of business issues.  Alan also has the chance to write extensively in the form of court documents, letters to clients and opposing counsel, and legal memos to other attorneys at the firm.  By doing so, Alan is able to help both businesses and individuals with all phases of the litigation process, from sending or responding to demand letters to presenting the case at trial.  Alan has worked on a wide variety of commercial cases, including ones involving unfair competition, non-compete and non-disclosure agreements, and breach of contract disputes.
