DWI MVP

I hired Mr. Burrows in 1998 to defend me in my first DWI case.I didn't blow. Not Guilty verdict. Its hard to explain the how he calms your nerves pre-trial without B.S. like Attorneys I had hired previously.. Just feels like he is ALWAYS the smartest guy in the room.

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.

Peace of Mind

Exceptional feeling during and after my initial telephone conversation with Mr. Burrows, that convinced me to choose him over all the other I had personally met and vetted. Today proved it to be the best decision made after the NOT GUILTY verdict by the judge. Mr. Burrows was like a surgeon with... his preciseness during cross examination of the trooper which left him flustered, ultimately benefiting our case. Mr. Burrows and team gave me a sense of calm throughout this whole process all the way from jumpstart.

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."
