I am Gary J. Barton, and I have dedicated my life to the pursuit of justice in the field of law. My journey has taken me from the small town of Bandera, Texas, to the halls of some of the most prestigious legal institutions in the nation. Allow me to share my story with you. Born and raised in the charming town of Bandera, Texas, I developed a passion for justice and a love for competition from a young age. My journey in law began after I played a pivotal role in winning the Texas State Championship in football. This early taste of victory and the pursuit of excellence set the stage for my future endeavors. I strive to provide a win for our firm and for my clients every single day. My academic pursuits led me to the University of Texas San Antonio, where I earned my undergraduate degree in political science. Fueling my thirst for knowledge, I then pursued a law degree at Texas Tech School of Law, where I honed my legal skills and embraced the values of justice, integrity, and diligence. But I didn’t stop there. I pursued a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the Texas Tech Rawls School of Business, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the intersection between law and business – knowledge that would prove invaluable throughout my career. My legal career began as a felony prosecutor for the State of New Mexico, where I witnessed firsthand the profound impact of the justice system on people’s lives. This experience sharpened my dedication to upholding the principles of justice and due process. I continued my journey as a prosecutor, serving the people of Nueces County and Bexar County, Texas, with distinction. My specialization in Death Penalty cases and homicides was born out of a deep commitment to ensuring that justice was served, even in the most challenging and high-stakes situations. After trying dozens and dozens of cases, I felt it was time to give back to the community in a different way. Unfortunately, I saw firsthand what bad legal representation can do to a person and their life. I wanted to provide a service for clients that would never put them in a position to questions their legal representation. I ultimately made the switch to the defense in order to assist those that want the best representation and demand results. Over the years, I have tried over 100 cases to a jury, accumulating extensive trial experience that sets me apart in the legal profession. My unwavering dedication to my clients’ rights and freedom has earned me a reputation as one of the most sought-after criminal defense attorneys in the state of Texas. My commitment to winning, combined with my dedication to justice, has allowed me to secure favorable outcomes for my clients time and time again. I am proud to have made a difference in the lives of those I have represented. Today, I continue to advocate for justice as a criminal defense attorney. My mission is to provide unwavering support and fierce representation to those facing criminal charges. I believe in the principle that every individual is entitled to a fair defense, and I stand ready to uphold that right. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey. If you find yourself in need of a dedicated and experienced attorney to defend your rights, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am here to help you navigate the complexities of the legal system and fight for the justice you deserve.
