Great Attorney

David helped me navigate a complex legal situation and ALWAYS answered his phone when I had questions. Highly recommend.

My Experience - Must Read

So I want to start this off by saying what I went through with my case is probably one of the worst things I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. From the countless, exorbitant amounts of money, to the embarrassment and immense change in lifestyle forced upon you, I resonate with all going throu...gh this and my biggest advice is the stay strong, you’ll get past it. My second piece of advice is the hire David Burrows and I could not be more clear about this. From arrest to my “not guilty” verdict the entire process took a mere 5.5 months (I say mere because these things last years), and that was solely in direct relation to the attorney I had. Mr. Burrows relentlessly worked with the Plano police department, the judge, and the prosecutors to speed up everything as fast as possible (I had a job offer that hinged on this decision). I cannot express the amount of professionalism Mr. Burrows has, the level of regard his colleagues hold for him (this can be blatantly seen as he walks into court), and most of all the kindness and compassion he has in his heart. Financially Mr. Burrows is extremely understanding, and if you show even a touch of reliability he will work something out with you. Please do yourself a favor and if you or someone you know is in need of a DWI attorney, you must obtain Mr. Burrows council.

Great lawyer

Mr. Burrows did his research on my case an worked hard defending me. The end result was he got my DUI case dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone needing help fighting their case. Amazing lawyer

Genius in the Courtroom!

I had a tough case. After receiving my discovery, I consulted with 6 top DWI lawyers in the area and I was told many times I had a low chance of success. Pleading guilty was not an option for me, I had to shoot for a not guilty verdict, however small the chances, because of my career. I'm so glad ...I hired Mr. Burrows. With 30+ years of experience behind him, he seemed to own the courtroom. From the voir dire to the closing statements he proceeded to make every best decision, working like a master against an eager and deceitful prosecution to win the jury. In the end I got a NOT GUILTY verdict for my DWI case. If you are have a pending DWI case, go with Mr. Burrows. He is a genius in the courtroom!

Not Guilty

David is an amazing lawyer. I appreciated that he was always available to talk to me for the 2 year duration of my DWI trial. He was able to get me a Not Guilty verdict even with a very high blood alcohol level. I will refer him to everyone I know that needs help.

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."
