Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!!

David Burrows defended me in a DWI jury trial with a blood alcohol content of .136 in Denton county. Despite it being one of the toughest counties for these types of cases, his strong defense got me a not guilty verdict. I am a pilot and thought this was going to ruin my life and professional career,... but David's thorough knowledge of the law and confident and poised delivery in court gave me a second opportunity. He was very professional throughout the entire process and was always available to answer any questions concerning the case since the first time I contacted him. I was referred to David after another lawyer gave me no hopes for a positive outcome and was advising me to plead guilty. I could not have made a better decision concerning my legal representation.

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.

Truly an Experienced Professional

I could tell David was a seasoned pro by his calming demeanor and professionalism. The process takes time and David kept me informed and calm. For work I cannot have a DWI on my record and with little optimism on my end, David kept me calm and worked the process with expertise and confidence. I wo...n't drink and drive again but if you are in this situation I cannot recommend a better attorney. Thank you David!

BEST LAWYER

I hired David for A DWI in Dallas County and he made a scary situation turn out positive. His knowledge of Texas statutes and ability to point out inconsistencies in the officer's statements and actions ultimately produced a not guilty verdict from the jury. He kept me informed of the status, liste...ned to me, and showed me how to prove I was not guilty of the charges as I already knew. If you need a lawyer that you knows will fight for you, David is your man.

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."
