One hell of a defense attorney!

I've known Troy for many years as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. He is by far one of the best attorneys I've had the pleasure of working with. I have seen him in action in the courtroom and he has an extremely skilled grasp of criminal defense trial work. He's represented me on a few mi...nor incidents and I have no doubt that if I or a loved one or close friend was in any trouble, he is the first person that I would call for help. His ethics are above reproach and he will fight for you tooth and nail. He won't cowl down to overzealous prosecutors and he will be a straight shooter with you every step of the way. He is the best of the best and you can't go wrong in hiring him for any of your legal needs.

Collin County's #1 DWI Defense Attorney!!!

There is simply no one better in Collin County, Texas as a DWI defense attorney than Troy. He took every step to guide me through the most difficult time in my life. When trial started, it was obvious that Troy was in total command and he tore the prosecution's case to pieces. After trial, every m...ember of the jury waited to speak to Troy and I and based on their comments, the DA never had a chance. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Troy!!!!!

Professional, Capable, Courteous

From my first client consultation, through pretrial hearings and trial, all the way to the handling of my expunction, Troy was helpful and concerned with serving fervently as my advocate. At each stage of the process Troy would counsel me on the pros and cons of each decision, but ultimately deferr...ed every decision to me. These decisions included, but were not limited to, jury vs judge trial and going to trial vs settling. When you hire Troy you can remain confident, throughout the entire process, knowing that you are in the capable hands of a knowledgeable professional.

Mr. Burleson is simply the BEST.

Mr.Burleson kept me up to date on what was going on and spoke to me like he truly cared.I was 17 at the time and was very frighted about the possibility of going to jail,but Mr.Burleson promised me that would not happen and he kept his promise.It was a long process and alot of back and forth I even t...hought about giving up and just taking the plea but Troy didnt let me and good thing because I was found not guilty and he even offered to expunge this from my record for free.Cant get better than him.

Hell yes you should hire Troy

My DUI case looked to be pretty cut-and-dry. I was pulled over for speeding, performed not particularly well on the field sobriety tests and blew well over the limit on the portable breathalyzer. When I met with Troy and Hunter the first time, they were very honest and straightforward with me a...nd said my odds of winning the case were not good...they gave me 30% chance. But I hired them because during that initial interview, they showed a clearly superior knowledge of DUI cases than the other two lawyers I spoke with. They walked me through the whole process step-by-step and made me feel comfortable that everything would be taken care of with the best possible outcome. Given my circumstances, the best case scenario was still in all likelihood going to be a conviction, but hopefully with minimal fines and/or jail time. The state made a plea offer a few weeks before trial and Troy again advised me that my chances of winning were not all that great and that the plea deal wasn't a bad one. I decided to go ahead and go to trial as I figured even a 30% chance of getting a not guilty verdict was better than the 0% chance of accepting the plea deal and punishments that (to me) weren't all that much reduced from the standard guilty verdict. Plus, I had a lot of confidence in Troy. And that confidence turned out to be well-founded. Troy got the DA to agree to a bench trial rather than one by jury, which we both saw as an advantage for me. During the trial he rather brilliantly (yet respectfully) poked holes in the DA's case and the arresting officer's actions, which subsequently created a reasonable doubt in the judge's mind. Not guilty was the final verdict. I would without a doubt recommend Troy to anyone else with a DUI arrest.

"Troy's reputation for excellence in all phases of DUI/DWI practice is well deserved.

"Troy is an amazing lawyer. I have seen him in court trying one DWI after another. Sometimes, two, three or four times a week. He not only connects with the jurors, he is able to work his magic and get acquittals like its the norm!!! If acquittals are in other counties, it might not be such an accomplishment, but in Collin County, all criminal defense lawyers agree, it is the most difficult county to get an acquittal. Yet, Troy manages that because he is a natural. Proud to know him and endorse him with no reserve."

Mr. Burleson is frequently sought out not only by prospective clients wanting representation, but also by other attorneys for his advice on how to fight criminal case."
