Not guilty and dropped cases

Unfortunately I’ve had 2 DWIs that David handled. The first I got dismissed to a obstruction of road ticket and the recent a dwi second offense we went to trial and was found not guilty !! He is awesome. Handles everything. Makes everything so much more less stressful than it already is!! His whole t...eam made this long process worth the fight !!

What a Life Saver!

David Burrows is an excellent lawyer. He’s truly one of the best DUI/DWI lawyers in Dallas. When I first got in trouble, Mr. Burrows was highly recommended by multiple people including my bondsman. Every step of the way, he was quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. He handled my case e...fficiently and responsibly. He gave me great advice. He’s very kind and does not judge you for your troubles. My drivers license was not suspended and my charge was lowered. Thanks to Mr. Burrows, I can rest easy and stress less. I cannot thank him enough.

Finally have control of my life again

I was arrested for a DWI in October 2017 and immediately called David. After our initial conversation, I knew he was the one to handle my case. After receiving the bac score of .13, he gave me a 30% chance of beating my case. While waiting on the courts, I was offered a plea deal that sounded very en...ticing. I slept on the offer for a few days but ultimately decided that having a slim chance is better than no chance so we took it to trial. David was happy to inform the judge and we proceeded to court. He was magical in the courtroom and as a result, WE received a NOT GUILTY verdict. I am very appreciative for all David has done for me and now I finally have control of my life once again.

Best DWI attorney!

I had a friend who referred me to David once I was arrested for DWI. He answered the phone himself when I initially reached out and scheduled a consultation the next day. My BAC on the scene was .11 and blood came back .093. I passed the field sobriety test so I told David I’d like to fight the case,... even though I got in a wreck and totaled my car. He said it’d be a 50/50 chance and he’d never beat a case that involved a wreck but I was the client and we’d go for it if I wanted. He requested that my blood be retested and it came back .076. It was still a tough trial because my blood was taken over 2 hours after being arrested. I had a very tough Judge and even though he’d put me in jail a total of 3 times in a span of 10 months (breathalyzer violations), he found me NOT GUILTY after a quick bench trial. David is very professional and relatable. He’s been in the industry for a very long time and it’s apparent that he’s not in it for the money but to help his client. If you or anyone you know is in need of an attorney for a DWI or DUI please call his office.

1st DWI - Best Lawyer

1st DWI, I was pulled over and arrested. I was scared and didn’t know what to do. Mr. David Burrows helped me through the process and provided me with all info and support needed to stay calmed until my trial. He was always there from day one until the end of the trial. At the end of my trial, my c...ase was DISMISSED NOT GUILTY!!!! he answers very quickly by Text message to any questions or concerns. He is very fast at responding by Text message. If you are in a DWI situation, reach out to David. He is the best DWI lawyer and will do his best to make sure your case is Dismissed.

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."
