William David Burrows

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.

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.

Not Guilty via Trial by Jury which I owe my total gratitude to Attorney David Burrows. This was my 2nd DWI, the first being over 25 years ago, but that doesn’t matter in Texas as once convicted, remains on your record permanently. My situation was unique in that I was pulled over in Dallas County (Co...ppell) over 4-years ago & performed the FST (Field Sobriety Test) which I did not do well so was taken to jail where a blood draw was performed. Initially, I thought this would be a career ender as I was in my early 60’s @ the time & if it became public knowledge, was looking @ being out of a job for the remainder of my life @ my age being a consultant. I hired an initial attorney who promised many good options, but we talked rarely & only met in person twice in a 3-year period. Fortunately for me @ the time there was credibility issues from the Forensic Blood Expert who tested the blood, so unable to use initial test results which were well over 2.8, so the 1st attorney was able to get this evidence thrown out, but being my 2nd DWI was ordered to install the Interlock Device on my vehicle. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2016/10/14/thousands-dwi-cases-potentially-risk-credibility-dps-lab-expert-questioned Fast forward 4-years later & the case dragged on. The 1st attorney would just get ‘pass’ slips in hopes that the arresting officer would move on, meanwhile still dealing w/Interlock daily. By this time, I was tired of dealing with the riff-raff & monthly Interlock/reporting fees ($100) so asked that we might go to trial as the alternative was 2-years’ probation, heavy fines, more interlock etc. Fortunately, the 1st attorney said he was not a trial lawyer & referred me to David Burrows! This was the best thing that happened in my life in a long time. Things started moving fast & favorable. I had an initial meeting with David & we reviewed all kinds of police records, dash-cam/body-cam videos that I had never been presented by the 1st attorney. (He said there was no video?) After the interview & review David immediately came up with a winning strategy. I had multiple physical issues both with knee surgeries, lower back issues & eye surgeries (detached retina, LASIK, cataracts). His strategy was to debunk the FST videos showing that I was incapable of performing such physical test. Once we chose to go to trial, The DA decided to retest the blood, which by this time was 4-years later? The results were 2.7 BAC, astronomical. We met many times prior to the trial & strategized the defense. Things I thought were pertinent he identified as unnecessary & focused on just the FST & Blood Test evidence. The day of the trial David was very keen on identifying those in the Jury Pool that would be favorable to my case. David’s opening arguments were that my conditions were a major factor in the case & that my physical disabilities limited me from being able to perform FST regardless. He would debunk the Blood Test results as astronomical & tainted being 4-years old as he indicated in his opening statement. The trial was grueling, but David was thorough is his cross examination, creating much doubt in the arresting officer’s testimony as well as the testimony of the Blood expert. I also took the stand & David was able to keep the details on physical incapability’s as well as my age. Closing arguments were key as David again recapped all the issues of the evidence presented created ‘reasonable doubt’ & identified everything he said he would on opening arguments. The strategy was key & the jury came back after 2-hours of deliberation with ‘Not Guilty’! As mentioned in many of the prior reviews, David is very accessible & returns VM & text promptly. He listens carefully to you & genuinely shows interest in all aspects of the case & treats you more like a friend than a client. I would not hesitate to contact David for any legal issues dealing with DWI. He has been a true blessing.

I highly highly recommend Mr. Burrows. I got a DUI in Dallas Texas with a blood alcohol of .20. I was looking at probation, suspended license, and alot of money in fines. Thankfully Mr. Burrows did a great job representing me and worked out an amazing deal with the prosecutor. I walked away only havi...ng to pay a few hundred dollars in court fees. He is very knowledgeable and the best person to have in your corner!

I found myself in the unfortunate and scary situation of needing a lawyer. I did quite a bit of research and came across David. I noticed he had excellent reviews from former clients so I decided to go to his office to meet him. From the moment I met him, I could see why he had such positive reviews..., and I knew instantly that he would be the best person to represent me. From start to finish, David kept me informed of every detail of my case and never set any unfair expectations. He is very affordable depending on your income. Though it was a very difficult time, I was able to find comfort knowing I was getting the best representation in the DFW area. David is so well versed in DWI cases, he knew exactly what to look for in preparation of fighting my case. We looked over my police dashcam video and he studied my blood report down to every last detail. I witnessed David intentionally fight for me with a few different prosecutors. He is not a lawyer who will back down. David knows the ins and outs of the legal system better than anyone so he knows when the prosecutors are being fair or excessive. In my case, the prosecutors were being excessive in my punishment so David found it best to keep fighting and waiting for a new prosecutor. He didn't give up until he found a deal that he thought was fair and a deal that I felt comfortable with. Even though David is known as the best trial lawyer in the area, we decided not to take my case to trial due to a high blood score and not enough supporting evidence to give me a good enough shot of winning. When the time came for my open hearing with the judge, David had worked diligently to get me the deal both him and I were looking for. I am extremely happy with the resolution that I'm very confident would not have been reached if David wasn't my lawyer. I don't even want to think about what would have happened if David was not representing me. I was given a month house arrest, no jail time or probation, and fines waived. What makes David unique, aside from being in my opinion the best DWI lawyer in DFW, is he is a fantastic person who truly cares and has compassion for his clients. He is one of the most genuine and calming people that I've ever gotten to know. If you are reading this and find yourself in this scary situation, go see David. You will see first hand why I believe David to be the most exceptional DWI lawyer in all of the DFW and surrounding area.
