Amos took our case against a well known and influential insurance agency. The process was slow and somewhat emotional, but Amos’ consistent push toward the goal was reassuring. He didn’t sugar coat the facts, but was always optimistic and that rubbed off on to my family, and kept us in the fight. After a long battle with this insurance company the final verdict came was so much in our favor I couldn’t believe it was real. The way Amos navigated the absurd constraints imposed upon him by the judge hearing our case was nothing short of litigation art. I highly recommend Amos Barton!
Two years ago, I was in need of a lawyer to assist me with matters of family law. Amos took what was an incredibly stressful and complicated situation for me and my family and made sure we were thoroughly taken care of from beginning to end. When we encountered bumps in the road during our first and second mediations, Amos possessed the attentiveness, sharp skill, competence and grace to see us through to a conclusion that was more than we could have hoped for. This guy is the real deal. He's genuine, and always made us feel like he truly cared. Not only would I turn to Amos again for any future legal needs, but I would most certainly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.
Our bank hired Amos Barton to represent our bank's interest against a very reluctant insurance company who claimed no liability at all. The settlement took about six months and was very favorable to our bank and we did not have to go to court. Amos gave excellent counsel, was creative in his thinking, and did not let even the smallest detail get past him. He kept me in the loop at all times and his dogged determination won the day for us. Mr. Barton is a man of integrity, and I would have no hesitancy in giving him my highest recommendation.
Amos aggressively and relentlessly pursued justice in the case I was involved in. I was lucky, as was the community of Kerrville, to see the determination and courage he exhibited on behalf of the good of others.
Amos Barton is an amazing attorney. He is extremely responsive, efficient and EFFECTIVE! I would highly recommend hiring him.
