William David Burrows

Mr. Burrows was my lawyer for my felony DWI. I knew I needed the best attorney. I literally trusted this man with my life. He is an amazing lawyer! The only reason I’m not in prison today is because of him. He’s experienced, honest and his fees were very reasonable. He was honest about what I neede...d to do and set very clear expectations. I would a million times over recommend him. Not only is he an amazing lawyer but he’s also an amazing human being.

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

David helped me through the entire process from understanding the charges to expungement. In the search for an attorney, I found that most wouldn’t return my calls. David was always available at least via text despite being highly recommended by 3 reliable sources. Even though he was so busy, he took... the time to understand my case fully and tray me like an individual and not just a number. He kept me informed through the entire process and would follow up with me regularly to make sure I didn’t have any questions. I appreciate his work and effort that he put towards my case and I couldn’t be happier with the verdict.

What can I say? David is hands down the best. Collin is a rough county to get a DWI in with an almost 0% dismissal rate but HE DID IT. I never even had to go to trial. He showed the prosecutor our defense and they immediately filed a motion to dismiss. David won’t sugar coat a single thing. He’ll giv...e you a worst case scenario, outline the positives and negatives that may both help you and hurt you in your case and will make 0 promises. A good lawyer should never make you any promises in regards to case outcome, and he never did but he definitely delivered. No complaints. He saw me have several emotional meltdowns over the course of the year that it took to get my case dismissed and he never faltered once. The fact that he offers payment plans is also extremely helpful, especially right now during this pandemic. Hopefully I never go through this again, but if I do, he’s my first phone call.

I had a tough case. After receiving my discovery, I consulted with 6 top DWI lawyers in the area and I was told many times I had a low chance of success. Pleading guilty was not an option for me, I had to shoot for a not guilty verdict, however small the chances, because of my career. I'm so glad ...I hired Mr. Burrows. With 30+ years of experience behind him, he seemed to own the courtroom. From the voir dire to the closing statements he proceeded to make every best decision, working like a master against an eager and deceitful prosecution to win the jury. In the end I got a NOT GUILTY verdict for my DWI case. If you are have a pending DWI case, go with Mr. Burrows. He is a genius in the courtroom!
