I just won my DWI case because with William David Burrows as my attorney

William David Burrows is by far the best DWI attorney. I had another attorney in whom I wasn't confident in so I was referred to David by a friend and hiring him as my attorney was one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. He is a very up front and honest attorney who has worked hard on... my case. He gave me great advice especially when it came pleading not guilty. If you want to win your DWI case I strongly recommend William David Burrows.

Excellent Representation

David is incredibly sharp when it comes to DWI / DUI. Our outcome was 100% positive. He does an excellent job of understanding the scenario and mapping the best course of action. He is a true advocate for broader implications to Civil Liberties. Please consider David as a top option!

WE WON!! An extremely tough case, EXCEDING EXPECTATIONS!

While extremely embarrassed and ashamed, I proceeded to interview 6 of who were known to be the top DWI attorneys in Dallas to take on my case, with two actually turning me away because they were not confident in the strength of my case and the stellar ratings they worked so hard to achieve would hav...e suffered, had they accepted the difficult task in representing me. The attorney that I initially hired was recommended to me by an esteemed leader in Dallas. The gentleman kindly informed me that even with his high expertise and wide range of connections, my case would be very tough, giving me multiple reasons explaining exactly why my chances of a victory were extremely low. This left me very discouraged, yet hopeful. He left me with little, to no direction prior to my payment of his first costly fee and I was at the next stage in my case preparing for the worst...... till I met Attorney, David Burrows. Mr. David Burrows was an absolute GOD SEND! He was the only one that I could have trusted to take on such a challenging case and I am so thankful that I chose to put my fate in his hands. Choosing to hire Mr. David Burrows was the right decision!! I was extremely impressed with David and his assistant! They were very knowledgable, informative, as well as deliberate in every aspect of the process, which is something that I desperately needed in my case. David took a creative approach that I never expected and even went the extra mile to analyze a dynamic with a professional, so he was sure our evidence was solid. David gave me direction and ideas of things I could do to strengthen my faith with the judge and I felt very confident that he was always doing everything he could in order to make certain that we would have the best possible outcome, but Mr. Burrows never set any unrealistic expectation. He remarkably ended up winning my case and today my record is wiped clean of that offense, which I never expected. I honestly believe that Mr. Burrows was the ONLY attorney able to make the impossible, possible! *I HIGHLY recommend Attorney, David Burrows and his team to anyone seeking a DWI Attorney or any other related case!! He is an experienced MASTER of his craft and an attorney you can TRUST to get you the absolute BEST RESULT!

BEST LAWYER BARR NONE

David Borrows, is by far the best lawyer in Dallas Texas, In my opinion. He has personally won two separate DWI cases with his associate for both myself and x-wife. He explains what could happen and might happen with both the positive and negative sides to your case and no in-betweens no BS. Both c...ases won when the deck was stacked against both of us. And as of today 4-22-2015, I retained his services again for an expungement and I expect the same results. ... His prices are more than fair considering the outcome. I was in the Bail Bonding Business in my early and late twenties I'm 58, now so I had access to hundreds of Criminal Lawyer's I, could have chosen anyone and he's the one I chose that should speak for it's self I had the inside track to the best.

Powerhouse Attorney with a Welcoming Demeanor

Upon meeting, Mr. Burrows was warm, friendly and attentive, even taking notes for research. His reputation as a strong attorney was recognized in the courtroom by the judge and his staff on the day of the trial, where he revealed to the jury inconsistencies in three officers' police reports and testi...monies after comparing them to the evidence. After making seemingly small observations during questioning, his closing argument collectively brought them to the forefront with such clarity that the jury came to the realization I was in fact Not Guilty. I am beyond thankful for Mr. Burrows years of proven expertise.

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."
