William David Burrows

I first met David in 1997. My significant other at the time was on her way home from a cocktail party in Dallas, and got stopped & arrested. It was quite late when I got the call from her from jail. I was somewhat panicked having never had anything like this happen before in my life. I grabbed the Ye...llowpages (it was 1997!) and when I went to the attorney section saw a huge full page ad with a boutique repeating digit phone number. I called. I was a bit surprised the lawyer actually answered the phone, he reassured me everything would be ok and told me how to get my girlfriend out of jail. We met with him at his office the next day and he was very confident and tough talking about how he was going to "go to the mats" with the DA's office and at trial put on quite a show and had a great chance of getting her a "not guilty" verdict. Well fast forward to the trial date. Suddenly the tough talk was gone, and was replaced with a stern warning that my GF should plead guilty as he worked out the details with the DA and would get her a reduced sentence. To her credit my GF insisted on a trial. She paid him the increased fee for a trial and wanted one. When he saw she wouldn't budge, he stepped away for a few minutes, and returned with David Burrows by his side. He assured us David was "the absolute best DWI trial attorney in Texas" and that he was handing the case off to David. Well the case went to trial that day and David won it for her, "not guilty". Fast forward several years and now I'm married (to a different person from case 1). A similar situation occurs in Southlake on the way home from dinner with wine. David was able to take that case and get it reduced to a misdemeanor "obstructing a highway". Which if it's offered to anyone reading this, absolutely take it. Case 3, the same wife in October 2022 was on a new sleeping medication, that we learned the hardway, caused her to sleep walk on a grand scale. She was stopped very late in the evening after drinking wine at home, going to bed and getting up at 1:00am to go on a drive she doesn't remember, by the Colleyville PD. Her blood test was positive for "over the limit alcohol", and the videos of her field sobriety tests as well as the tests at the police station were terrible. I thought, "well there's no way David can win this one", but contacted him anyway with the hopes he could get her some form of leniency with the court. We met with David at this office and reviewed all the police dash cam footage and other video evidence. He was honest in his assessment that it was going to be a tough case, a very tough case given the evidence and the particular judge she was assigned to. However he said he did have a strategy. He had serious reservations regarding the circumstance's of her being stopped, it just didn't jive with some of the details in the police narrative report. He said he was going to file a motion to suppress and have a hearing on this before trial. I wasn't particularly optimistic given the blood test and horrible video evidence. Well, once again David came through. He was able to rattle the DA's faith in the case enough to again get it reduced to "obstructing a highway". All the reviews saying David's the best are here for a reason. He is. DWI is not a minor charge anymore, the penalties are quite harsh if you are convicted. If you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance of dealing with this, the absolute best lawyer in Texas to handle this is David Burrows. Thanks so much again David! Greg

Today Mr. Burrows and I were finally able to meet after months of virtual consultations for my DWI case and it was an absolute pleasure. I can’t say I’ve ever worked with someone more poise and knowledgeable at the position than Mr. Burrows. For what I thought would be a lengthy process with multiple... negative implications/convictions, Mr. Burrows was able to make sense of the case with the judge, bargain an amazing offer and I was able to leave court without penalty, jail time, probation or fees. Incredible work by this man, I would highly recommend to anyone in a similar situation, especially out of state residents like myself looking for someone to trust with their case. Thank you Mr. David Burrows & AVVO, blessed to work with you guys!

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.

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.

Just when I thought I hit rock bottom and had lost sight and hope of my nursing career, David was there to fight for me and my sons future. I can't thank him enough for what he has done. At the time of my case I had met with a few lawyers, all with minimum DWI trial experience and the cost to hire th...em was absurd. I searched day and night and came across David's profile. After reading his reviews and speaking with him on the phone, off the back I knew he was a honest a man of his word. After many meetings with David and going over every aspect of my case, he fought hard and needless to say David got my case DISMISSED, which was a class A DWI (twice the legal limit). I can finally sleep at night and not let my past haunt me and will now be able to pursue my dream. David was godsend!!
