Very pleased with his service. Impressed by his expertise.

I have had the unique experience of being a witness from both sides. David's reputation as a seasoned DWI attorney proceeds him. When I had the unfortunate experience of a negative encounter with law enforcement that resulted in my arrest, I turned to David for help and i'm so glad I did so. Dav...id is friendly and professional. He did not mislead me and was responsive to my needs. After consulting with David I elected to go to trial for the alleged offense. From the beginning of "Voir Dire" process at trial what was very clear to me was David's ability to relate to the Jurors. He clearly explained the law and their duty to it. David's examination of the state's witness was respectful and fair but firm. It effectively helped outline the reasonable doubt to the jury. His examination of me at trial effectively challenged the state's accusation and in conclusion helped facilitate justice. I was found not guilty. Thank you David.

Excellent Attorney

As an owner of a large company it was extremely important that we win my case for both my personal life and my business. From day one, David was informative, honest, and responsive when it came to my case. We fought the accusation all the way from day one and won at trial. After the "not guilty" v...erdict, the judge spoke to me personally and, as a former defense attorney herself, said that David's strategy was "brilliant" at trial. I can't thank David enough for the work he put up for my case and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a DUI attorney.

WE WON!! An extremely tough case, EXCEDING EXPECTATIONS!

While extremely embarrassed and ashamed, I proceeded to interview 6 of who were known to be the top DWI attorneys in Dallas to take on my case, with two actually turning me away because they were not confident in the strength of my case and the stellar ratings they worked so hard to achieve would hav...e suffered, had they accepted the difficult task in representing me. The attorney that I initially hired was recommended to me by an esteemed leader in Dallas. The gentleman kindly informed me that even with his high expertise and wide range of connections, my case would be very tough, giving me multiple reasons explaining exactly why my chances of a victory were extremely low. This left me very discouraged, yet hopeful. He left me with little, to no direction prior to my payment of his first costly fee and I was at the next stage in my case preparing for the worst...... till I met Attorney, David Burrows. Mr. David Burrows was an absolute GOD SEND! He was the only one that I could have trusted to take on such a challenging case and I am so thankful that I chose to put my fate in his hands. Choosing to hire Mr. David Burrows was the right decision!! I was extremely impressed with David and his assistant! They were very knowledgable, informative, as well as deliberate in every aspect of the process, which is something that I desperately needed in my case. David took a creative approach that I never expected and even went the extra mile to analyze a dynamic with a professional, so he was sure our evidence was solid. David gave me direction and ideas of things I could do to strengthen my faith with the judge and I felt very confident that he was always doing everything he could in order to make certain that we would have the best possible outcome, but Mr. Burrows never set any unrealistic expectation. He remarkably ended up winning my case and today my record is wiped clean of that offense, which I never expected. I honestly believe that Mr. Burrows was the ONLY attorney able to make the impossible, possible! *I HIGHLY recommend Attorney, David Burrows and his team to anyone seeking a DWI Attorney or any other related case!! He is an experienced MASTER of his craft and an attorney you can TRUST to get you the absolute BEST RESULT!

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."
