Very thankful

Mr. Burrows is an outstanding lawyer! He was a tremendous help with our family in a case he consulted with. He asked thorough questions that helped guide us through the process. He was spot on with everything that happened! Fortunately we did not have to go to court, but would go to him immediately i...f our situation arised again. I strongly recommend using him in a criminal defense case.

NOT GUILTY DWI

This man worked wonders, for me, on my case. He came with the facts, stays on top of your case, as well as stays in contact with you with any updates on your case. Mr Burrows is the BEST lawyer on DWI cases and would recommend him for any case in Texas! I am very happy with my results! Thanks again f...or your diligent work. Forever grateful for your work sir!

Highly recommend for DWI cases

David is the lawyer that you want on your side. He is super knowledgeable of the law and has many years experience. He is very thorough and pays attention to every detail. My DWI case was reduced after David negotiated with prosecutors .

Exceptional DWI Representation

A friend of mine referred me to hire David after a 2nd DWI arrest. He is a no nonsense DWI lawyer with reasonable rates. David has decades of experience in the courtroom that you will want by your side when life throws you a curve ball. I did everything he advised me to do and I served no jail time, ...nor was my license suspended. When you call the office to talk to David, he answers the phone, not a receptionist. He is the best lawyer I have hired to date. David is a true professional that will gain your trust, as he always treated me with dignity throughout the entire process. If you need representation for a DWI case, do yourself a favor by throwing all of the ambulance chaser mailers in the garbage, and hire David. You will be glad you did!

DWI 2nd - Not Guilty

I chose David after a thorough search for the best DWI lawyer in Dallas. His fee was, to my surprise, extremely reasonable for the service and representation you will receive. David went above and beyond his call of duty during my 3.5 year wait for trial (due to Covid delays), and ultimately was able... to win my case with a Not Guilty verdict. David is the reason I was able to avoid jail time, fines, 2-years probation, and an additional year and a half of interlock being installed on my vehicle (on top of the already 3.5 years performed pre-trial). If you are looking for a lawyer that is going to give you another shot at life - David is your guy.

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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
