2nd with .25

Had a bad night and ended up completely blacking out with dwi 2nd in Dallas county. Received David's information prior from a person who spoke very highly of him and turned out he had also helped a good friend of mine the year before. Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I met with a few others ...who wanted all money upfront and talked a big talk but David offered a payment plan and is the only lawyer who asked for my case information via text right away. The way he was organized and ready right off the bat was an indicator to me that he was the man for the job. Despite the severity of my case I was able to avoid probation and even won the driver's license case with dps. David truly cares and I would recommend him to anyone!!

Collin County Dismissal

What can I say? David is hands down the best. Collin is a rough county to get a DWI in with an almost 0% dismissal rate but HE DID IT. I never even had to go to trial. He showed the prosecutor our defense and they immediately filed a motion to dismiss. David won’t sugar coat a single thing. He’ll giv...e you a worst case scenario, outline the positives and negatives that may both help you and hurt you in your case and will make 0 promises. A good lawyer should never make you any promises in regards to case outcome, and he never did but he definitely delivered. No complaints. He saw me have several emotional meltdowns over the course of the year that it took to get my case dismissed and he never faltered once. The fact that he offers payment plans is also extremely helpful, especially right now during this pandemic. Hopefully I never go through this again, but if I do, he’s my first phone call.

DWI and Possession of Marijuana Reduced and Dropped

Everyone out there has said it will never happen to them but if you make the decision to drink and drive then you are going to get caught at some point. When I first talked with David, he assured me that he would do everything in his power to change the circumstances of the situation and I have never... been more blessed in my life to have hired him as my attorney. He was able to get the DWI reduced to Obstruction of Highway and the Possession charge dropped after taking a class. He was able to get the fine reduced and worked with me financially based on my current situation at the time. If you have a problem in Dallas or the surrounding counties, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend you talk to David Burrows. You do not want to take chances with situations like these and David is and always will be my go-to guy for advice regarding the legal system. Thank you David.

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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
