David Burrows is top of the line & should be your choice of representation.

From the beginning, David had been not only on top of everything when it came to my case, but also a genuine person. When you're not sure what the next steps are or where to receive help, David & his team is the place to go. He handled everything swiftly, effectively, and kept me informed on everyth...ing I needed to do. He would always take the time to reassure about certain processes & diligently answer any questions I had for him. If you're looking to get the best, "bang for your buck," David is the lawyer you want & deserve. I had a first-time DWI that was a Class A & required both 20 months of probation & interlock ignition for my vehicle. He guided me through that enter process & helped me receive early discharge from probation halfway through. He even looks out for your future & how to get public records removed (if it's a possibility). If I was too have to go back & make a decision regarding my lawyer & assistance, let me reassure you I'd choose David every single time.

Best Lawyer

David made the whole process comfortable and calm. Had a DUI in Collin County which is one of the most difficult county’s to win a case in. Mr Burrows had great knowledge that made me feel at ease throughout the trial. Got a not guilty verdict and the charge expunged off my record. Would highly recom...mend Mr Burrows to anyone else in this situation wanting to go to trial.

Fair, informative, understanding…100% recommend!

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.

David Saved My Career. DWI Dismissed.

I was pulled over in Dallas after having a few drinks with friends in March of 2017. I refused the breathalyzer and was taken to jail. My blood was drawn and my BAC was .09. Embarrassed and confused after a night in jail, I realized that I needed legal representation. I do finance for car dealerships... and you must have a clean driving record in this line of work. Countless attorneys solicited my business through the mail and I was not sure who to call or trust. Mr. Burrows was recommended to me by a family friend. He met with me and was very honest about his services and the possibilities of my case. He gathered all of the videos and evidence and was able to find a discrepancy in my blood results. The prosecutor agreed to reduce my charge from a DWI to Obstruction of a Highway. This lesser charge can also be sealed from my record in a few years. I feel very blessed and thankful for David's prowess and knowledge. His pricing is fair and he was always available to talk about my case. I can tell that he is a genuine man that cares about his clients. He is very well known and connected with the Dallas County court system and his legal peers as well. If you need help with a DWI do not hesitate to call him. He will fight for you the best he can.

Out of state DUI Arrest

While visiting Dallas Tx I was arrested for a suppected DUI. David Burrows was recommend to me by a good friend and I retained him. I reside in NJ but David stayed on top of my case with monthly updates until the trial. During the trail David presented the facts of that nights events, and the discrep...ancies . The trial lasted 2 days and I was found not guilty. After trial David had all details of this case expunged from all databases. If you are looking for the best then use David Burrows.

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."
