2nd DWI in Dallas 0.192 BAC with a NOT GUILTY VERDICT - BEST DWI LAWYER IN TEXAS!

I hired David Burrows as my attorney based on several friend's and co-worker's recommendations. He really does supersede his excellent reputation. He is warm, friendly, and compassionate with absolutely no judgement. He understood the severity of my case, being that it is my 2nd DWI and the implicati...ons it could cause for my very public occupation. I also had 2 breathalyzer violations during my bond supervision, before we went to trial. I really believed I did not have a shot, but had to give it a try. From the first meeting, David took notes and was very attentive. He was always available for any questions and would even encourage me text him anytime. The trail came down to my credibility versus the testimony of 3 police officers who were on the scene when I was arrested. That is a very difficult situation to be in because most people would automatically give 1 police officer more credibility. During trial he took notes, strategized, and made everyone in the courtroom laugh. He is hilarious and down to earth. By noticing the small inconsistencies in the officer's testimony and police reports he was able to show the jury that the prosecution could not prove my case beyond a reasonable doubt. I truly believe that I would be serving jail time if I had hired any other attorney. I would never trust anyone else with this type of responsibility and the devastating impacts that a DWI conviction would have had on my life and others. I highly recommend David Burrows. He will not tell you to just plea out so he can make some quick money and he will be honest about your chances with a jury trial. He would never encourage someone to go to trial just to make some extra cash. You will not find an attorney with his experience, integrity, and professionalism anywhere else. David Burrows saved my life!

Denton County Results

I was charged in Denton County with a class A misdemeanor DWI with a BAC of 0.16. David Burrows advised that the likelihood of acquittal in Denton County with my circumstance was about 30%. I decided to fight and I was acquitted. It took about a year and a half (just because of the pace of the court)..., but I was so pleased with the results. David was very polite and professional. He never judged me. He simply presented me with all my options, with his probability of acquittal, and his cost to me. I considered a plea at one point and he was happy to set expectations for probation. I slept on it for a couple of nights and called him back to change my decision and he was happy to oblige and continue working on my case. I highly recommend Mr. Burrows. He is a veteran in the courtroom and his expertise was priceless for me.

DWI with bac .164 found Not Guilty in Collin County, TX!

I am a doctor, currently in residency, arrested for DWI in Collin county earlier this year (2016). My blood alcohol score came back .164. I hired Atty. David Burrows and we went to trial by Jury where I was found Not Guilty. This is the record for the highest bac score to be found not guilty in Colli...n County. The best decision I made was to hire Atty. David Burrow! I vehemently recommend Atty. Burrows to any one arrested for DUI or DWI! Thank you tremendously Atty. Burrows!

Best DWI Attorney

Mr Burrows is a master of his craft. His knowledge and professionalism truly shines inside the courtroom. David Burrows understands your dilemma and will fight for you until the end. He was able to get me a not guilty verdict on a .22 blood test !! I am extremely grateful for his hard work and commi...tment.

Dismissed

Mr. Burrows, is hands down the best lawyer I have ever had the privilege of working with. On two separate occasions he has used his knowledge of the law, and the legal system to help me out of some tough situations. Also besides his wisdom in the court room he exudes a sense of calm with his jovial... nature, never once was worried in either of my cases.

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."
