Best recommendation and lawyer around!

David was very receptive and understanding to my situation during the consultation. Once hired, he was very diligent and provided timely, excellent resources throughout the entire process. Given his guidance and support, we were able to lower my offense and probation above my expectations! I am very ...happy with my experience with David, and highly recommend!

The Best Choice for a DWI Lawyer

Mr. Burrows is the best possible choice you could make in hiring an attorney if you unfortunately fall into the circumstance of having a DWI. This was my first DWI and first time in any kind of legal trouble. My case was not an easy one with a lot of evidence against me and no real way to get it d...ismissed. Mr. Burrows worked with me to do everything possible prior to my case getting filed and working with the prosecutor to get the best possible outcome for my case. With a high blood score and messed up car in Collin County; things looked very grim, but Mr. Burrows helped to secure deferred probation with significantly reduced fines and they dropped the charge from a Class A to a Class B Misdemeanor. I definitely don't think I could have had better results without his help. Mr. Burrows also takes the time to speak with you personally on all updates with your case and next steps. He makes himself available to help whenever you need it and truly listens to his clients in what they need/what will be best for them. He also took the time to thoroughly explain things so that way I understood everything going on in the process. Mr. Burrows is a very kind man and I couldn't recommend him more. His fees are also very reasonable for the quality of service.

The Best

David was recommended to me as the expert in the field by a previous attorney of mine who is also considered one of the top attorneys in Texas but in a different part of the state. I could not be more pleased with the results. I was facing a 2nd DWI charge with a fairly high blood score. David walked... me through the entire process. His expertise was apparent in every step. He compiled every piece of ammo so that we had a very strong case in multiple aspects were we to go to trial. In the end, David worked his meticulous magic to find a little-known and apparently rarely-used law to get my case DISMISSED. I cannot recommend him enough. If you want the best, you’ve found him.

The best choice I could have made for a lawyer

I have never been in trouble. The situation was super stressful to me. I shopped many, many lawyers and ended up using a friends attorney just based off a personal recommendation. After a month of using that attorney, I decided to instead go with David, who was my personal first choice. The reason I... did this was the kind manner in which he explained everything to me. He listened to what happened, understood that I was completely clueless regarding anything regarding the process, he never used scare tactics (a lot do) and was honest with me. He communicated the entire process and made me feel as though I was genuinely taken care of through this whole process. Many lawyers would tell me the extremes of cases or didn’t communicate with me at all about the process. More of a “just hire me and I’ll take care of it.” It was important to me to stay involved (as necessary) for my life and career. I cannot express the sigh of relief when I hired him. I knew I was in the best possible hands. I would refer him to anyone that would ever need him. He gives you all the options and will be honest with his recommendations of the possible and not possible. He gave me advice on what was best for me, not advice that would drag it on and get him more money. He gave me better than what I thought was the best outcome in my situation and I couldn’t be more grateful to him.

The True Lawyer’s Lawyer

David was recommended to me by a lawyer friend that works in the criminal system. He said everyone in Dallas knows him as the top attorney and he is liked and respected in the court system. I found this to be most certainly true. David was also very accommodating, very honest, and very fair wit...h price. I am extremely thankful for the magic he was able to work for me and I highly recommend him to everyone.

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."
