Charles Bush on Building a Successful Law Career and Advocating for People

One of the best ways to impact the world and people’s lives is through the legal profession. For many legal practitioners, it is a lifelong calling, and their success is hinged on the positive results they achieve for their clients. Charles Bush, the managing partner at Bush & Bush, has taken the law profession as his calling and is making significant impacts in people’s lives through his expertise, experience, and the powerful team at his firm.
Born and raised in Dallas, TX, the oldest of two children, Charles always knew he would grow up advocating for people in need. Thus, even though he had a brief stint in the military as a Staff Sargent in charge of a platoon of cadets at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico and the Military Academy before earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Management, he still found his way to practice law, his first passion.
His journey into legal practice began at Texas Southern University, where he obtained a Doctor of Law degree. He then proceeded to the University of Houston Law Center, where he earned a master’s degree in Intellectual Property Law and then returned to the university a year later to obtain another master’s degree in Health Law. He also has an MBA from Baylor University, making him a well-rounded individual with expertise in the essential areas of his journey.
To put his experience and expertise into play, he established Bush and Bush Law Group, a law firm specializing in personal injury law. The firm has an impressive track record of helping many people get compensated for various forms of injuries from situations like dangerous premises, motor vehicle accidents, and medical malpractice. Bush & Bush Law Group also handles felony, misdemeanor, and state and federal appeal cases. He helps his clients through their cases so he can give them a worthy life after the rigors of trial. “Many people struggle to claim compensation for when they get injured. Some don’t even know they can get help, and that’s why my firm exists to help people get the compensation they deserve,” Charles said. “At Bush & Bush Law Group, our attorneys don’t accept excuses; instead, we force wrongdoers and negligent actors to accept responsibility.”
Charles is licensed to practice in Texas and is admitted to practice in the United States Federal District Court for the Southern District of Texas and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He also holds a certificate in Advanced Mediation Skills from the A.A. White Dispute Resolution Center. Additionally, he was named Super Lawyer in 2021 and 2022 and is popularly called “The Million Dollar Collector.”
Over the next few years, Charles Bush hopes to continue to prop up his firm as the number one place clients turn to when the result matters most. The attorneys at the firm have negotiated more than a hundred personal injury cases, and Charles takes pride in the collective experience and remarkable results the team has achieved over the years.

The Perfect Investment: RAD Diversified and Income-Producing Farms

Amidst the global lockdown of 2020, Dutch Mendenhall, founder of RADD America, began looking for an alternative to standard residential real-estate investments. So, he turned his analysis to farms and was blown away by the immense potential he saw. After going public in late 2019, RADD America purchased US farmland and made slices of the real estate available at minimum investments of $10,000.
Income-producing farms vs. other real estate asset classes
According to Mendenhall, an apartment complex in today’s US real estate market commands approximately a 4% or 5% cap rate. Farms offer somewhere around a 15% to 20% cap rate.
“When I first began looking at investing in farms, I compared each acre to an apartment or housing unit,” Mendenhall recalls. “The variety that income-producing farms provide is what I really love about them as an opportunity. With one season producing wheat and corn the next, you can double tap — you can raise livestock on top of agriculture. Putting money into the farm only pays off in time. Everything from improving soil to increasing irrigation makes a major impact on potential income, and so much of America’s farmland has fallen into disrepair during the last 20 years.”
When Mendenhall began investing during the early days of the pandemic, sustainable acres of producing farmland sold anywhere from $3,500 to $5,000. Today, he finds that income-producing acres of farmland easily sell for $9,500 to $10,000.
“I’ve seen farmland values almost double during the last couple of years,” Mendenhall says. “Currently, we’re in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Idaho, but we are analyzing land all over America. What reports don’t show is the difference between a properly maintained acre of farmland and an acre that is in disarray. There’s only so much workable farmland on the market today. We’ve hit the tipping point, and now, there’s a scarcity of land for people to buy. If you have the opportunity to purchase amazing agricultural land, you have to pull the trigger quickly.”
Income-producing farms as an asset class
Mendenhall is no stranger to investors. Since 2006, he’s connected them to deals in short sales, wholesaling, residential properties, and storage units, though he admits that every asset class has caused the same excitement as farmland. “At this point, we can’t find enough bargains for our investors,” he says. “They take real pride in their investments and keep asking us for more.”
RADD America takes a true grassroots approach when connecting its investors to farmland. “The farming world is different from any other in real estate,” explains Mendenhall. “We start by having our acquisitions and agricultural teams meet with farmers. When we get ready to brand cattle or plant, all the local farmers come and help. In the same spirit, our teams go out and help the local farmers when it’s their turn to brand and plant. To do it right, you have to build a relationship and a connection that’s quite different than other types of investing.”
RADD America is composed of expert investors and expert farmers. The company offers its investments through fractionalized ownership. In other words, the company purchases one farm and then allows a joint pool of investors to own it together.
“If you don’t have a team that knows how to farm and maximize income, you’re not going to get the best possible return for investors,” warns Mendenhall. “Thankfully, our team isn’t so big for this type of investing that we forget who we are, and we have the economy to scale at a great pace.”
The impact of global competition on income-producing farm investments
RADD America closely monitors global trends. In Mendenhall’s experience, investors win when they move before the market. However, when they move after the market, they lose.
“When Russian first invaded and sparked its war with Ukraine, for example, we kept a close eye on its global impact,” he says. “As one of the largest producers of wheat in the world, we knew that Ukraine — now in the midst of a war — wasn’t going to be able to produce wheat at the same scale, so someone else needs to step in and fill the gap. We’re constantly monitoring what’s happening in the world to stay on top of evolving trends.”
In terms of global competition, Mendenhall is frustrated by foreign entities staking ownership of American farmland and agriculture. In this area, China has positioned itself as the number one threat to the sovereignty of the United States.
“When foreign powers have ownership of agricultural land in the US, it puts us all at risk as Americans,” remarks Mendenhall. “Over the past few years, we’ve seen soil quality erode, closures of meatpacking plants, and numerous fires. The likelihood of nuclear war in this age is very small. The quiet war of buying American agriculture and unsettling the American dollar is the threat we face today.”
Clearly, RADD America has a lot to pay attention to at home and abroad. “We’re monitoring weather patterns and making one-year, three-year, and five-year predictions,” Mendenhall explains. “We’re also paying close attention to interest rates to see where this shifting economy is headed. The up-and-down cycles are faster than they’ve ever been. Monitoring the industry is critical. With expert investors and agricultural specialists from RADD America on your team, farmland can be one of your most promising and rewarding investment opportunities.”
