Case Dismissed ...so happy I chose David Burrows.

If your reading this you are probably trying to determine who to represent you, and I can say, look no further. David is the most knowledgeable and respected DWI attorney in DFW, but more importantly, he is a great person. He treated me with the utmost respect, was courteous, and displayed one of the... highest levels of professionalism I have seen in my career or life. David was able to get a 2nd DWI charge dismissed with a plea to a lessor charge. One of the best decisions I have ever made was hiring David Burrows to represent me. You might even make a new friend in the process. Thank you David!

WDB the BEST of the WEST!

I came to David after I was charged with my 2nd DWI. My first I take full responsibility for yet, my 2nd was a struggle to come to terms with. Not just with the hurt and struggle of putting my family through the ordeal for another go around but truthfully knowing there is no way I could handle anothe...r 2 years of my life owed again and indebted to Collin County - it is in my personal opinion the worst county in the nation for the severity of this charge. He was upfront and honest from the beginning, off beat but the best. He told me straight forward, never projected false hope, and didn't make any promises yet, his demeanor, passion, and steadfast ways made me realize he was the perfect attorney to represent and take my case. He always took the time - it was hard to re watch tapes of the worst night of your life but you get your money's worth and learn a little along the way. He was my godsend and 2nd chance not 2nd conviction. I struggled with the identity of what this charge represented, seriously reevaluated myself and questioned if I had a problem with alcohol abuse, yet, ultimately came to the understanding that once you have a prior it follows you for forever. They don't play around and look at you as a person however, they do see you as a golden ticket to pull over when they run the plates. He always listened, gave input, and was never around the bush. He is immensely detail oriented and if he went to Vegas I could without a doubt see him playing the best cards and shutting down the town. You want someone that is audacious, unwilling to compromise, and confident. Someone that goes in there and demands a response that he deserves to entertain. David was able to completely dismiss my case. I sincerely thank the lord and view this gift as an opportunity to share my story and not be another statistic yet, a role model in representation and show that the good still prevail and that you can get your life back. I made myself sick about going to trial yet, he literally kept me updated and I loved those random texts out of the blue with good news pertaining to my case. He dedicates his time to researching all factors and outlines the best defense. I will always hold a special place in my heart for what David Burrows has done for me and would never hesitate to recommend him for anyone that finds themselves in the same place I have been. I've never crossed paths with anyone getting a DWI in Texas and ultimately getting it dismissed. I'm so fortunate to be the person in the shoes walking across the path. He not only validated my freedom but ultimately gave me back my restored faith, confidence, and life. For that words can never explain and the overjoy I feel in my heart I hope everyone can entertain at least once in there life. Hopefully not for this reason but if you find yourself in this place you need David to take your case! :)

DWI

David is someone that I have the upmost respect for & capable of knocking your socks off ! It was a pleasure sitting next to a brilliant mind yet feeling so be-littled due to the prosecutor. I felt comfortable from day 1 with David & although during trial I got nervous as anybody would, I knew deep d...own I was not guilty. David will prove that even when you doubt yourself ! Thank god & Thankyou David for carrying out what is right !

Great Lawyer

Even though my case was very difficult Mr. Burrows always did everything in his power to help me. After I went to trial he continued to help me through everything and eventually got me on unsupervised probation.

DWI defenense

David Burrows and outstanding partner Eric are the most professional and thorough attorneys I could possibly imagine. I was in a substantial amount of legal issues, they walked me through the process, were very courteous, and, all in all, just great guys. they truly are miracle workers. On a scale of... 1-10 easily 20. Extraordinary law firm, if you need an attorney, this is the one to call.

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."
