While it’s shameful for any attorney to use AI to do their job, because we know AI hallucinates fake case law, it’s absolutely disgusting that the government and court would deny someone’s freedom based on it.

When the state cares so little for justice and freedom, and when the court lets the state write its orders citing to fake case law, real lives can be effected. Both the prosecutor and the trial court have a duty to make sure the authority they rely on is real.

Good on the Georgia Supreme for calling it out. Shame on the state for even after getting called out to suggest it was added in after she’d done the initial work (and good again on the Supreme Court for pointing out it was in her original paperwork (the original brief).

Hannah Payne is claiming ineffective assistance of counsel in her appeal for her conviction of murdering Kenneth Herring.

Happy Birthday to the City of Bryan, Texas. 154 years old today. The home to Barton Law Firm (seen here on the far right of thr picture) has been been meeting Bryan’s needs since the 1800’s. It’s served a hotel, an architecture firm and now primarily as law offices.

Hopefully you don’t need me, but if you do give us a call.

When you have to make up words to better distort facts then you know you’re on the losing side of justice. Texas insurance companies and their lobbyists have done just that, again. Please don’t let Big Insurance hurt Texas while protecting their record profits.

Another Not Guilty at a Jury Trial Matt Barton Law Firm. We continue the Not Guilty streak. Thank you for an attentive and serious jury, a fair judge, and an honest and hard working prosecutor.

My client suffered under the threat of being labeled a criminal for close to 2 years. Awesome to clean that up. He's insisted on a trial the whole time and I was happy to finally get his story before a jury so the whole story could be told.
