Local lawyer to lead Hays County Bar Association

Dripping Springs attorney, Carly Barton, has been elected as the Hays County Bar Association’s president for 2022.

Barton, a Braun & Gresham attorney and counselor, is a landowner advocate, helping property owners resolve their land issues by defending their rights and representing their interests throughout all stages of litigation. In her new role, Barton will also act as the spokesperson for the legal community in Hays County. Additionally, she will assist with the Association’s monthly meetings and educational and community service events.

Before becoming president, Barton served a partial term on the Association’s board in 2021 and assisted in organizing and hosting the Hays County Bench Bar: an annual accreditation and networking conference. Barton said she believes her membership and subsequent presidency at the Hays County Bar Association has provided her access to a knowledgeable and devoted network of peers.

“Hays County is full of smart, passionate, local attorneys that provide their clients with great legal advice,” she explained. “You don’t have to travel far or to a big city to access the legal services you need.”

The Hays County Bar Association is a nonprofit professional organization of attorneys in the Hays County area. It organizes continuing legal education opportunities and volunteers legal services.

“The legal community in Hays County is pretty tight-knit,” Barton said. “Because Hays is such a large county, the bar association provides opportunities to come together and discuss the legal challenges in our local community.”
