    • I do not recommend Thomas Barton.
    • I hired Thomas 6-12 months ago.
    • Thomas handled my DUI / DWI matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    he lead me and my family on. he sounded good at first but took $10000 and invested no time and no effort. I had to hire another attorney close to trial and cost me another $10000, I asked mr barton for a refund because he promised to take it to trial and didn't an gave me no refund. I almost went to prison for 18 years because of mr bartons slack lazy work ethic

    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    Many many thanks and to Mr. Barton for the work he did on by behalf. His understanding of the issues made the negotiations very favorable to construct the final agreement between myself and the city. Mr. Barton worked very hard on my case and my result was better than I anticipated.

    Thank You Mr. Barton!

    • Thomas handled my DUI / DWI matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    I was very satisfied with the defense you provided. I really appreciate that you were able to get the solicitor to look at the Reckless Driving plea but felt it was in my best interest and that of my family to take the DUI offer you were able to work out.

    God forbid should I or my family need legal services again but if we do I'll be sure to seek out your assistance.

    Again, thank your very much!

    • I recommend Thomas Barton.
    • I hired Thomas 1-3 years ago.
    • Thomas handled my DUI / DWI matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    My experience with Mr.Barton's representation was nothing but positive. He was honest with me about everything from the very beginning. He did not make any false pretense that he could "get me out of" my charge. He told me the positves and possiblilities in my situation. In the end his analysis was very accurate, and my case ended as positively as I could hope that it would. Mr.Barton was always prompt in returning my calls, patient in answering my questions, and expert in analyzing the stategies for my case. I was extremely impressed with his obvious relationships with the prosecutor and judge in my case. Their respect for his professionalism and expertise was a positive in my case. i have recommended Mr.Barton to more than one person since the resolution of my case.

    • I recommend Thomas Barton.
    • I hired Thomas 1-3 years ago.
    • Thomas handled my DUI / DWI matter.
    • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

    I retained Mr. Barton for a DUI case in Henry County (one of the more strict counties). I spoke with Mr. Barton over the phone first and by the end of the call he gave me the impression he was on the case. I saw no reason to look elsewhere. My next meeting was in person and his assistant Cindy was very polite and helpful the whole through this whole ordeal. While going over the facts in the meeting with Mr. Barton was busy scribbling notes and I could almost see the wheels turning in his head. I was confident in my choice of representation.. Every time we went to court Mr. Barton was polite and reassuring very relaxed. Once the case started this man new what points he wanted to get across and did so in a manner that I would hate to be on the receiving end of. We won the case for me and I recommend that even if you don't retain him you should definitely meet or speak with him before deciding.

    • I recommend Thomas Barton.
    • I hired Thomas more than 3 years ago.
    • Thomas handled my Business matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    I have had the need for attorneys on several matters. Mr Barton took the time to inform me of all my options in detail. We had a dispute with a large computer company and he helped us tremendously in resolving our issue. He always kept me informed and went out of his way to provide thorough legal assistance.

    • Thomas handled my Criminal Defense matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    I have used Tom on two occasions in the past. My daughter and son both had traffic offenses. Tom first represented my daughter and then my son. He was professional and very knowledgeable about the law applicable to my children's cases. Tom's experience was apparent as I saw him in the courtroom presenting these cases to the prosecutor and the judge. I have since recommended Tom to a personal friend who's occupation requires a lot of driving. Tom helped him save his license. I have also referred members of our church to Tom and have heard nothing but positive feedback from these referals. Tom is an absolute professional with a passion for helping his clients!

    Mr. Barton is a lazy, un organized attorney. He has a set rate due before the actual case is heard, I believe this is because if you were to see him in action you would be likley not to retain him as your lawyer and find help somewhere else and also because he puts little time into his cases that if he were to be paid hourly he would make very little monatarily. Mr. Barton also is lacking in a professional demeanor....i.e; late, forgetful, un-organized. I would suggest not hiring him unless your are comfortable with pleas and micro managing.

      Lawyer’s Comment:

      Not my client....we've checked. Not sure if I've been hacked or if this is a bad joke (I've seen similar reviews on the net), or if this is a competitor, or an opponent. In any case, a client who truly felt this way would be screaming for a refund of their legal fees. That hasn't happended. I've got 20 years, 4000 cases, and a winning record under my belt. I've got the best staff around and every client is dealt with immediately. My cellphone number is on my website, www.BartonDUILaw.com and on my business card.
