“Better Call David”

Words can’t express how great DWI lawyer David is. More importantly he is a fabulous human being. Top lawyers in the Dwi legal community are expensive, unapproachable, uncommunicative, inhumane. David is the best lawyer yet suffers none of the above cons. He truly does what he does best because he ca...res about helping his clients. This makes him a rarest of the rarest lawyer in the Dallas Fort Worth metro. From the get go, while your good lawyers had several desks and doors that I needed to knock before I get to speak with them, David picked by first phone directly that too on a weekend. His responsiveness in communication appalls me. Either it’s 10pm at night or early in am, he is always there for you and is highly responsive. He gave me an extremely favorable and a rare outcome, which was a long shot for me and also moved things very fast through the legal channels. His fees were extremely reasonable for the amount of work he puts and the outcome he achieves for his clients. So, hey, if you are in a trouble, just call David. And, Don’t be surprised if he answers right away.

The Best Attorney I’ve ever Worked With

I found Mr. Burrows to be savvy, attentive, and diligent. He follows up and checks in frequently at every step of the process. He was always available directly for any questions I had, at no point was he ever MIA. He’s a top performing specialist, and it shows. My case was pretty straightforward,... a blood test over 0.15 with an additional charge. I thought it didn’t offer much wiggle room to an attorney for use for leverage to defend me. Despite that, he was still able to negotiate an insanely good plea deal for me, getting the classification reduced, many fees and fines minimized, jail time reduced to time served and the additional charge dropped. I honestly don’t think any attorney on Earth could have negotiated a better deal than that. At no point did he say “Good Enough” and move on, he kept pushing and pushing for better and better circumstances for me. I sincerely felt like he exhausted all possible options for me to the maximum, he didn’t leave anything unexplored or unchallenged that would improve my situation even down to the last few seconds before my case was resolved. In my case, the amount of money he saved me in fees and fines alone was easily more than his flat fee. If any of my friends or family found themselves in trouble with a DUI I would immediately send them to Mr. Burrows without hesitation, it wouldn’t even be a question.

Reasonable and honest

I hired David for my DWI out of Collin County. He’s usually working out of McKinney court house and have great relationships there. His fees are very reasonable, I ended up pleading guilty but the consequences were less severe. I also hired him to file for early termination of probation. I had a 6 ye...ars probation sentence which I have completed 2 years of. With the help of David we filed a motion for early termination of probation and it was granted. David will stay in contact with you via text messages all the time.

Worth every penny!

David worked with me and on my case for over a year, eventually ending with a plea deal. DUI charges dropped. He is very knowledgeable about all details and technicalities and not shy about filing motions using the technicalities of the law. Paid off big time for me. He charges a flat fee 1 time ...charge. If paid hourly it would have cost me double. He was attentive and interested in every detail of my case. I 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.

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."
