Not guilty verdict!

Mr. Burrows was phenomenal. He helped me understand the whole process and answered any questions I had. I felt truly confident with having him by my side to represent me in court. I had never been to court before and I was nervous. He helped me calm my nerves. I went to trial with an alleged DWI ch...arge with a BAC of .16 and I was found not guilty by a jury of my peers. He is truly knowledgeable with DWI cases and how to work with them and knows what to look for. Thank you so much David!

Excellent DWI Attorney

Mr. Burrows did an exceptional job getting my DWI case dismissed. He provided excellent advice and consultation throughout the process and was always available when I called. I had a tough case after a breathalyzer score of .21 but he analyzed the case and gave honest advice regarding the outcome. He... didn't try to sugar coat the outcome but gave me the facts. In the end he was able to work with the court and prosecution to get all the charges dismissed. Naturally I am happy about the results, but even if the charges weren't dismissed I would recommend Mr. Burrows to anyone charged with DUI/DWI.

OUTSTANDING

David Burrows is the man for the job. My truck driving career was on the line, as I held a Class A CDL when I was arrested for DWI. BAC of 0.16 Not Guilty. David Burrows is understanding and knows exactly what he is doing. I will recommend his services in a heartbeat. Great attorney....

Case Dismissed ...so happy I chose David Burrows.

If your reading this you are probably trying to determine who to represent you, and I can say, look no further. David is the most knowledgeable and respected DWI attorney in DFW, but more importantly, he is a great person. He treated me with the utmost respect, was courteous, and displayed one of the... highest levels of professionalism I have seen in my career or life. David was able to get a 2nd DWI charge dismissed with a plea to a lessor charge. One of the best decisions I have ever made was hiring David Burrows to represent me. You might even make a new friend in the process. Thank you David!

Denton County Results

I was charged in Denton County with a class A misdemeanor DWI with a BAC of 0.16. David Burrows advised that the likelihood of acquittal in Denton County with my circumstance was about 30%. I decided to fight and I was acquitted. It took about a year and a half (just because of the pace of the court)..., but I was so pleased with the results. David was very polite and professional. He never judged me. He simply presented me with all my options, with his probability of acquittal, and his cost to me. I considered a plea at one point and he was happy to set expectations for probation. I slept on it for a couple of nights and called him back to change my decision and he was happy to oblige and continue working on my case. I highly recommend Mr. Burrows. He is a veteran in the courtroom and his expertise was priceless for me.

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."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
