He was admitted to the Missouri state bar in 1974. Walton served in the Missouri House of Representatives from 1979 to 1993 as a Democrat. In 2009, Walton was fired as chief attorney of the Northeast Ambulance and Fire Protection District after a dispute about legal fees. Walton was suspended from the practice of law following a September 2013 status conference before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in  Missouri's Eastern Judicial District. He was subsequently barred from the court. In 2017, the Missouri Supreme Court heard a court case involving Walton and alleged violations of professional legal ethics. The state supreme court ruled on the case in December 2019, ordering his disbarment. The disbarment took effect by default in January 2020, as Walton had not responded to charges.
