William David Burrows

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!

Unfortunately I’ve had 2 DWIs that David handled. The first I got dismissed to a obstruction of road ticket and the recent a dwi second offense we went to trial and was found not guilty !! He is awesome. Handles everything. Makes everything so much more less stressful than it already is!! His whole t...eam made this long process worth the fight !!

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.
