Excellent attorney

Dan Barton is hard working and caring. He was referred to me by a friend. I interviewed several attorneys and was impressed by his genuine concern and background. He worked tirelessly preparing for our court case. His style in the courtroom was sincere and commanding.

Chemical Plant Burn Incident

In 2009 I was burned in an incident at a Chemical Plant on the Houston Ship Channel. Dan Barton was hired to represent my family against the particular company. During the whole process which took several years, including a very stressful trial. Dan proved to be a professional, personable, knowledgea...ble, caring, and honest man. He works with you and keeps you informed and no decisions are made without you. He expects the same of his team that supports him and they are also great to work with. Oh, and did I mention we won the trial decisively. Dan Barton is an awesome person of great character which carries over into being a great lawyer. A good man.

Mr. Barton is the best

Mr. Barton is supportive, knowledgeable and considerate. He was always patient with me and made sure to explain all aspects of my case. He was truthful with me at every stage. Having him as my lawyer was the best decision I could have made and I will always appreciate the impact he's had on my life!!...

Personal Injury Attorney Who Truly Cares

Dan Barton has represented me and family members on two separate occasions. He and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and qualified. They work in a timely manner and always have experts that they turn to and work with on their cases Perhaps the best thing about the Barton Law firm is that they ...really care that their clients are represented with integrity and empathy. You can count that Dan will be going the extra mile to get to know you and assure that you are represented in all aspects of you case. I highly recommend Dan Barton and his team.

Daniel Barton Is The Best

I first became acquainted with Mr. Barton in 2013 when I asked him to represent me with the mesh lawsuit. It is now 2015. I can truthfully say that he has always answered rack email or phone call. He has always provided me with updates. Would I recommend him? Yes I would. I have never seen suc...h a compassionate and caring individual. I would highly recommend him. If I should ever need legal representation again, it would definitely be, Dan Bsrton. Sheree Kelley Canton, Georgia

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
