Experienced Civil Trial Lawyer with proven results working on behalf of crime victims and their families. Many victims are unaware of the full scope of their options, but Amos Barton believes crime victims deserve compensation for the harms they have endured. As a former Elected District Attorney for the State of Texas, Mr. Barton is aware of the short-comings of the criminal justice system, and fights for his clients maximizing the benefits of the civil justice system.A fifth generation Texan, Amos grew up in a West Texas town as the oldest of five children in a farming and ranching family. At age seven Amos chopped cotton, at ten years old he was driving himself and the chopping crew to the fields, and by the sixth grade, he owned 73 sows that he raised-selling show pigs with his brother. At age sixteen, he drove trucks for the family wool warehouse and delivered medication to homebound elderly for the local drugstore. Amos is handy having done most every type of manual labor from bailing and hauling hay, working cattle, building fence, roofing, framing, concrete work, rock work, welding, building demolition, auto restoration, sand-fighting, dozer work, commercial lawn care, pest management, and even hand-picked an acre of cotton as a student researcher for Texas A&M University.This upbringing gave Amos a strong motivation to seek higher education and upon graduation from Angelo State University, he went on to law school at Texas Tech University. After meeting the love of his life, Courtney, and upon graduation, the couple moved to Kerrville in 2001 to launch a law practice and start a family. Amos has represented children and corporations and sued common criminals and billion dollar publicly traded entities. Amos served in the 198th District Attorney’s Office for nine years and at age 32 was elected as one of the youngest in the State to serve the six-county district as the District Attorney. During his tenure as the D.A., Amos combated organized crime, gangs, murderers, molesters and set verdict records in multiple counties. He now has a Statewide trial practice and continues to hold records for civil trial verdicts in at least four Texas Counties. Amos balances his life between his trial practice and his wife and their three teenagers. He enjoys cooking and traveling with his wife and frustrating his kids by trying to involve them in things that he is interested in. He is a committed believer, a bank director, an outdoor sportsman, wood-fired cook, artist, Multi-Engine Instrument-Rated Pilot, and Ironman Triathlete.
