David Burrows is by far the most experienced and hardworking lawyer you can find in the DFW metroplex. He worked miracles for my DWI cases and was able to help me out tremendously with avoiding jail time and getting the best deal I could get given my circumstances. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Burrows to any and everyone that needs legal assistance. He will work wonders for you and he is by far your best option!
When I first met Mr. Burrows, I was going through a rough time in my life. I got 2 DWIs, and an evading charge in a matter of 5 months. I felt helpless and at my lowest. Since the very beginning, he assured me he was going to try his best and that everything was going to be alright. Anytime I would call, he would always answer. If he couldn't, his team would reach out to me and they were always so respectful to me.
Mr. Burrows referred me to some groups that would not only help the case, but also help me start my journey of sobriety. I can't thank him enough for that. When arriving to court, I couldn't help but notice how respected he was.
I was facing 5 years in prison, and Mr. Burrows got me down to probation and some community service. I recommend him to anyone that's facing a DWI.
He's simply the best.

Best Lawyer Hands Down!
From day 1 Mr. Burrows made me feel like everything was going to be ok. Getting a DWI can be overwhelming and Mr. Burrows made the process peaceful, comfortable, and reassuring. When it was all said and done, Mr. Burrows pulled away with a no DWI charge! When I say he is the best, that’s an understatement. He gets 10 stars in my book.

Dui= This lawyer
Coming from having to hire lawyers on different occasions this lawyer is BY FAR, the expert on drinking offenses. From day 1 treated me with respect and reassurance that he would do everything he could to help out. I was so close to literally picking a name out of a hat because I had no luck in the past and really had lost faith in lawyers. David is great at his job and known for being one of the best in the business. Trust me or don't. Either way I'm the one that had my charges DISMISSED, how will your story end?!

Amazing and Brilliant DWI Defense Lawyer
I was refferred to Mr. Burrows by a close friend to defend my case. Mr. Burrows was very professional, articulate and brilliant from the very first meeting we had for this case. He clearly explained the process, the next steps and overall case. He explained clearly the strong points of the Defense case and also gave honest feedback on any of the weaker points of the case.
Mr. Burrows is very knowledgeable in the BAC part of the DWI Defense case. And he requested the court for an independent analysis of the BAC , which came lower than the original analysis. And which helped us a lot in the Defense case.
Overall, Mr. Burrows is an incredible and brilliant Defense Lawyer and a genuine person. I would very highly recommend him as a DWI Defense Lawyer.

Phenomenal Person and AMAZING DWI/DUI Lawyer!
In July of 2022 some friends and I gathered at a restaurant for a farewell dinner to celebrate our friend of 14 years. Said our solemn goodbyes while trying to holdback tears.
On my way home I was pulled over by 2 police in a Rockwall PD SUV. Had no idea they were after me and was trying to get out of their way. I then realized they were after me, turned into a safe parking lot that I knew of , in order not block traffic or create any mishaps. Officers ordered me out of the car and begin questioning me on why I didn’t pull over sooner and where I had been. They then began to order me to complete a series of sobriety tasks. I then let them know that there were certain walking tasks that I would not be able to complete due to a foot and ankle problem incurred due to an accident year and a half prior to what was about to be my arrest. Pointed out the massive amount of swelling with my foot and ankle. They said they would modify my tasks and they did so. I followed their directions as best as I could with while I could hear and see a bunch of commotion, voices and and 2 more police cars pull up. I was handcuffed put in the police car and asked if I would consent to. Breathalyzer Test, I agreed, then they told me they didn’t have one & would I agree to a blood test and told me I was going to jail anyway. I declined the test, as I didn’t want to spend what (in my eyes) could be a week in jail or however long it took them to get the result back. I thought I had passed their tests and after saying the alphabet, one of the officers said loudly “perfect”! Come to find out later as I was reading the arresting information Mr. Burrows collected, and in that report said I sang my Alphabet. Body-cam showed other wise, as my attorney David Burrows so clearly pointed out in court. He also pointed out that some of the other tests they ordered me to complete were not standardized tests and it was only an “opinion” if I passed the non-standardized tests. Mr. Burrows also provided and pointed out to the jury a few other incorrect /inconsistencies he found in the written statements the arresting officer made in the police report. Mr. Burrows brought all those facts, my testimony and the testimony of 2 others together in his closing statement. After deliberation the jury unanimously came to the conclusion of NOT GUILTY of the charges brought before them.
Had I NOT taken the advice of my friend, whom had hired David Burrows 23 years prior to my incident my life would have taken on a totally, unforeseen trajectory. Mr. Burrows is an incredible attorney, asked me, my husband and witnesses the right questions and pointed out things & actions I took that were crucial to winning the case against me.
Mr. Burrows stayed on top of information and dates, kept me informed on what steps needed to be taken, what information i needed to provide and consulted with my husband and I in his office several times. He sat with us a we reviewed Body-cam video, asked about info the body-cam provided.
He remained positive about the case for the entire 11 months it took to get to trial and kept reassuring me I was not going to jail!
My friend of a couple years gave me the BEST advice in something she experienced 23 years ago and has never forgotten Mr. Burrows and what he did for her.
I can’t thank either of them enough.

Great Lawyer
David was a life saver for me. I got my first DWI and I was scared to death. He was very attentive and made the whole process less stressful. Also he got me an amazing deal. The lowest possible probation and fine. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney for a DWI. He is the best!

David made the whole process comfortable and calm. Had a DUI in Collin County which is one of the most difficult county’s to win a case in. Mr Burrows had great knowledge that made me feel at ease throughout the trial. Got a not guilty verdict and the charge expunged off my record. Would highly recommend Mr Burrows to anyone else in this situation wanting to go to trial.

The Best Choice for a DWI Lawyer
Mr. Burrows is the best possible choice you could make in hiring an attorney if you unfortunately fall into the circumstance of having a DWI.
This was my first DWI and first time in any kind of legal trouble. My case was not an easy one with a lot of evidence against me and no real way to get it dismissed. Mr. Burrows worked with me to do everything possible prior to my case getting filed and working with the prosecutor to get the best possible outcome for my case. With a high blood score and messed up car in Collin County; things looked very grim, but Mr. Burrows helped to secure deferred probation with significantly reduced fines and they dropped the charge from a Class A to a Class B Misdemeanor.
I definitely don't think I could have had better results without his help. Mr. Burrows also takes the time to speak with you personally on all updates with your case and next steps. He makes himself available to help whenever you need it and truly listens to his clients in what they need/what will be best for them. He also took the time to thoroughly explain things so that way I understood everything going on in the process.
Mr. Burrows is a very kind man and I couldn't recommend him more. His fees are also very reasonable for the quality of service.

The Best
David was recommended to me as the expert in the field by a previous attorney of mine who is also considered one of the top attorneys in Texas but in a different part of the state. I could not be more pleased with the results. I was facing a 2nd DWI charge with a fairly high blood score. David walked me through the entire process. His expertise was apparent in every step. He compiled every piece of ammo so that we had a very strong case in multiple aspects were we to go to trial. In the end, David worked his meticulous magic to find a little-known and apparently rarely-used law to get my case DISMISSED. I cannot recommend him enough. If you want the best, you’ve found him.

The best choice I could have made for a lawyer
I have never been in trouble. The situation was super stressful to me. I shopped many, many lawyers and ended up using a friends attorney just based off a personal recommendation. After a month of using that attorney, I decided to instead go with David, who was my personal first choice. The reason I did this was the kind manner in which he explained everything to me. He listened to what happened, understood that I was completely clueless regarding anything regarding the process, he never used scare tactics (a lot do) and was honest with me. He communicated the entire process and made me feel as though I was genuinely taken care of through this whole process. Many lawyers would tell me the extremes of cases or didn’t communicate with me at all about the process. More of a “just hire me and I’ll take care of it.” It was important to me to stay involved (as necessary) for my life and career. I cannot express the sigh of relief when I hired him. I knew I was in the best possible hands. I would refer him to anyone that would ever need him. He gives you all the options and will be honest with his recommendations of the possible and not possible. He gave me advice on what was best for me, not advice that would drag it on and get him more money. He gave me better than what I thought was the best outcome in my situation and I couldn’t be more grateful to him.

The True Lawyer’s Lawyer
David was recommended to me by a lawyer friend that works in the criminal system. He said everyone in Dallas knows him as the top attorney and he is liked and respected in the court system.
I found this to be most certainly true.
David was also very accommodating, very honest, and very fair with price. I am extremely thankful for the magic he was able to work for me and I highly recommend him to everyone.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked on cases with David Burrows since 1981. I have watched him perfect his skills until he is acknowledged by his peers as the expert in DWI jury selection. He has consistently won more DWI trials in a single year than most other lawyers win in an entire career. I urge anyone who is looking for a DWI attorney to go watch him in trial. He will probably have several cases set for trial on any given Monday morning. See for yourself."
