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

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.

1st DWI, I was pulled over and arrested. I was scared and didn’t know what to do. Mr. David Burrows helped me through the process and provided me with all info and support needed to stay calmed until my trial. He was always there from day one until the end of the trial. At the end of my trial, my c...ase was DISMISSED NOT GUILTY!!!! he answers very quickly by Text message to any questions or concerns. He is very fast at responding by Text message. If you are in a DWI situation, reach out to David. He is the best DWI lawyer and will do his best to make sure your case is Dismissed.

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.
