Alan W. McIntyre Attorney at Law

Alan W. McIntyre has been licensed in the practice of law since 1993. Alan grew up in Bastrop, LA, and is a veteran of the United States Army. Alan graduated law school in Jackson, Mississippi in 1993. He was the public defender in Union Parish, Louisiana for one year, then established a private practice in Farmerville, Louisiana in 1994. There he operated a civil practice, where he primarily practiced family law, estate planning, probate and real estate law. He then moved to Vienna, Illinois in 1996, when he became the Johnson County First Assistant State's Attorney. As Assistant State's Attorney, Alan prosecuted a multitude of criminal defendants, charged with both violent and non-violent offenses. He prosecuted cases involving Murder, Reckless Homicide, Sexual Assault, Burglary, Forgery, Assault, D.U.I., Juvenile, Conservation, and Traffic. He has participated in over forty (40) jury trials, and hundreds of bench trials. Alan left the State's Attorney's Office in 2004 when he became the City Attorney of the controversial river town of Cairo, Illinois. He exclusively practiced municipal law in Cairo for a period of over one year. Alan left the City of Cairo when the mayor was charged in what was apparently a politically motivated criminal prosecution by the Illinois Attorney General. Alan resigned as City Attorney so he could represent the mayor in the criminal case, and the case was successfully dismissed at a lengthy and contested preliminary hearing. Alan established a private practice of law in Vienna, Illinois when he left Cairo. In 2006, Alan returned to serve for an additional six months as City Attorney of Cairo when his successor suddenly passed away. He practices with a flair in all areas of law in the Southern Illinois region, and is a firmly established attorney with his main office in Vienna. Alan has served as city attorney to the municipalities of Cairo, Vienna, Cypress and Buncombe. He was appointed Johnson County Public Defender in April, 2006 and continues to serve in that position. Alan is married to his wife of twenty-five (25) years, and is the father of two boys. In July, 2008, Alan established a corporation, and acquired the assets of the landmark Johnson County Abstract Company. The title company has been in business since 1897. Johnson County Abstract Company has been providing title services for over 100 years, and Alan is proud to continue the long-standing traditions established in the late 19th century. He is a member attorney and agent of Attorneys' Title Guaranty Fund, and conducts all types of real estate transactions. The records of Johnson County Abstract Company have been established by the Johnson County Recorder as the backup files for the official county records. In November, 2015, Alan established another title company and acquired the assets of the landmark Pulaski County Abstract Company, which has been in business for fifty years. Alan opened a branch legal office in Mound City, Illinois, and from there continues to serve the people of Pulaski, Alexander and Union Counties.
