William David Burrows

I was charged with a DWI and open container, i had a .247 BAC, this is my first time being in trouble with the law and in the works of finishing up school with a criminal justice degree and wanting to pursue a career in the legal field I had to make sure I had the best lawyer to represent me through... this case. I was referred by a co-worker to Mr. Burrows after he had an amazing experience with Mr. Burrows. My first time calling Mr. Burrows, personally answered and had a personable conversation. During my consultation he listened to my side of the story went over the police report advised me what my BAC and let me know that Texas law states a BAC over .15 is automatically a breathalyzer but he will try to fight it. I didn't have to go to my hearings, Mr. Burrows went for me and would text me with the results of each hearing, he was always easy to contact and always updated me on all hearings. Finally he called me after one of the hearings letting me know that one of the prosecutors agreed to no breathalyzer in my vehicle, and only 15 months of probation and had me come in to court the next day to sign off to the plea bargain. The judge agreed to no breathalyzer, Mr. Burrows also requested my surcharges be dropped due to my financial situation and the judge dropped the surcharges as well. Mr. Burrows exceeded all of my needs and expectations, I am beyond grateful for all of his hard work and determination, I would definitely recommend to anyone fighting a DWI case,

David provides aggressive, effective, and seasoned-criminal defense services. His legal advice and the proactive execution of my DWI case was utterly flawless as well as amazing. He got the results I needed!!!! I would recommend David's services without hesitation. You need a professional DWI legal ...expert like David in your corner!!! He's 100% top-notch!

I was stopped for DWI in Collin County. Initial charge was that I changed lanes without signalling - which was true - and that I was swerving in the lane - which was false (as even the videos showed later). It was a Saturday night and the cops were obviously looking for drunk drivers (like they shoul...d). It was the last few days of the month - I do not know if this was a factor. I hired one lawyer for handling the case, but in a couple of weeks, discovered that he/his firm was very shoddy in its practices. They did not file proper ALR hearing request, but upon my follow-up on this, pretended that they did - by showing me what was obviously to me a fake document. My *guess* is that they fooled a lot of clients in this manner. Sad to see that there are unethical lawyers like this. I searched online, found David Burrows and interviewed him, among others. Right off the bat, I could make out that David was honest and ethical, would fight for his client and not just try to make money of the case and not care what happened to his client. I decided to hire him as my lawyer. It was the best thing I did in this whole ordeal. David was, simply put, awesome from beginning to end. Whenever I met with him, it was more like meeting with a friend rather than with a lawyer. I always felt like he would do the maximum he can to win the case. David advised me on how to get a copy of my records from the police department (all the videos etc.) and reviewed them multiple times while we were waiting for the blood test police report to come through. He also helped me get an ODL (Occupational Driver's License) so I could continue driving for work for the next six months. My blood test results had came in below the threshold of 0.08, but the county decided to file a DWI case anyway (interesting that they can do that even when it is below the legal limit.) Through the following months, David met with me many times and reviewed the case. He advised me that getting a blood re-test might be helpful, and I decided to opt for that. It was good advice - the results came in 16% lower than the previous and helped cement my case. When the case came up for pre-trial he discussed with me the options of going for a judge-trial or a jury-based trial. I let him be the judge on that decision as I had no prior experience in this matter. We went with the judge trial and it took may be 15-20 minutes for the judge to dismiss the case. David was a god-send as far as I am concerned. I had never known him before this case but I would unhesitatingly refer him to others.

In May 2017, I was sleep driving (DWI) at 2 am, totaled my SUV and was arrested at hospital. I contacted Mr. Burrows on Monday and made an appointment to review my case. I told him I didn't drink and don't remember anything from the night of the accident but it was sleeping pill induced. He explained... in Texas it didn't matter if it was prescription medicine, illegal or OTC if you are under the influence you will be charged with a DWI. My case took a year and two months, one problem was they had to send my blood to Austin to be tested. Month after month, I would look up my case on the website, then call Mr. Burrows to see why it hasn't been updated or why the court appts would be postponed another month. He was always honest, reassuring and answered all my questions. Finally, this month I had my day in court, being able to plea to lesser charge. He walked me through all of the processes of court making sure I understood everything. I am gratefully blessed to have found Mr. Burrows to help me.

Would I recommend David Burrows to represent other people in DWI cases? The simple answer is yes based on my "Not Guilty" verdict in a complicated case in Collin county. But there is more... I had several lawyers in my life. You do not have to be a criminal person but you may still need a lawyer ...to handle complicated matters. All of the lawyers I had before did not want to waste their time listening for the details I thought are relevant. All of them - but not David. He went an extra mile, spent tremendous amount of his time to listen attentively to all things I thought are important. Not all of them actually were and he carefully selected what will work in my favor. He was the easiest person to reach any day and always ready to review all the things we discussed. It was a great pleasure to have a person on your side who is willing to understand every single detail. Based on the facts he developed a winning strategy that really worked. He was fantastic in his selection of the jury finding the right people who will understand all the details of the case favorably presented by him to the court. His final arguments nailed it. Bottom line: He was the best lawyer I ever met and it was the best experience to have a person on your side who is so professional, easy to reach, attentive to all details, and knowing how to win the case. It was a blessing that I was referred to Mr. Burrows and it had a great positive outcome in my case.
