Mr.

I must say that David Burrows is the BEST!!! He was thorough and very pleasant to work with during a very stressful time. I was charged with an enhanced DWI 2nd that he was able to get reduced to an Obstruction of a Roadway. From the sounds of it, this is the 1st time this has been done to anyone'...s recall. I truly felt that as was in bounds and David took the time to listen to my case step by step and prepared me for what was to come. I went to court confident and feel that justice prevailed. I am back on track due to his knowledge and professionalism.

The DWI expert you want in your corner!

After getting arrested for my first ever DWI I knew I needed a good lawyer for the best possible outcome. My wife who extensively googles and researches everything found David Burrows and told me to call him. From the first phone called he answered personally on a weekend, he extensively answered all... my questions and had me feeling at ease. He is very knowledgeable on every aspect of DWI’s from the laws to the chemistry of alcohol being processed through the body! Unfortunately I got a 2nd DWI just 7 months later. With 2 DWI arrests in 2 different counties my best possible hope was hoping to at least get a victory in one case. The first case in Dallas county David was able to get reduced to an obstruction charge even with blowing a 0.8 breathalyzer. I had a year of non-reporting probation, a $500 fine and had to take a couple of classes. I thought for sure that was the best case scenario and the 2nd charge would stick. On case number 2 in Tarrant county and with a BAC of 0.11, we decided to take it to trial. Best odds he gave was 60/40 chance. After going to trial, he was able to get a NOT GUILTY verdict! Watching this guy work his magic in the courtroom was phenomenal! He truly picks up on every last detail, takes the “bad” and turns it around to work in your favor or glosses over it, and finds even the tiniest of inconsistencies and uses it to cast doubt on the prosecution. He has perfected his craft and is the guy you want sitting beside you if you ever find yourself in this unfortunate position. His prices are surprisingly reasonable as well to be as good as he is. He isn’t the most expensive guy in town, but was definitely worth every penny and more! He is very realistic with you and your chances and never promises anything, but does everything in his power to get you the best possible outcome. Bottom line is this is the guy you want if you have a DWI in the DFW area. You will not be disappointed! I would 100% recommend his services to anyone and I truly believe having him as my lawyer was life changing!

Not guilty verdict!

Mr. Burrows was phenomenal. He helped me understand the whole process and answered any questions I had. I felt truly confident with having him by my side to represent me in court. I had never been to court before and I was nervous. He helped me calm my nerves. I went to trial with an alleged DWI ch...arge with a BAC of .16 and I was found not guilty by a jury of my peers. He is truly knowledgeable with DWI cases and how to work with them and knows what to look for. Thank you so much David!

Wow, I'm so blessed to have been introduced to Mr Burrow. He saved my job. I drive a company truck for a living. He got my case dismissed.

Best in the Business

This lawyer is Amazing! I heard about David Burrows from a Co-Worker So i immediately looked up Mr. Burrow. As soon as i called Mr. Burrow picked up which was shocking because it was a Saturday and i could tell he was spending time with his family but he actually took time to talk and schedule a meet...ing ( very impressive ) most lawyers you get a answering machine or service and the return call usually be there assistant or secretary. At our scheduled meeting Mr. Burrow answered all questions that i had and was able to look up information that i didn't know even existed. The best thing about our first meeting was the willingness to help and his promptness to meet me at the court house to get a complete understanding or my DWI case. Mr. Burrow is definitely a man of action once he reviewed my case entirely and obtained the video he called me personally and scheduled our next meeting and reviewed everything with me and basically let me know all my options. In my case I decided to go with the plea bargain and i must say I am beyond satisfied with my outcome. DWI 2nd ( reduced ) No Jail Time! Probation fine reduced Mr. Burrow knowledge and work is PRICELESS! Mr David Burrow is Absolutely The Best In The DUI/DWI Business

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."
