Highly Recommended

Attorney David came highly recommended from a Commissioner of Dallas County. When contacting David he eased the anxiety of having a CDL pending a DWI conviction. His thorough knowledge of handling DWI cases won me a dismissal. Thank you Mr Borrows for your dedication and commitment of keeping me info...rmed weekly. Your are truly appreciated!

Great communicator and lawyer!

Hired to work on my DWI case. Has communicated every single week and kept me updated as well as being able to recommend a phenomenal lawyer for a different case he was unable to handle. Definitely settled my nerves about my case

Posted by Alex | August 27, 2025 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

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.

Won my DIFFICULT DWI Case

I can’t thank David Burrows enough for the incredible work on my DWI case. It was a tough situation, but he fought hard, stayed sharp, and ultimately won the case. knowledge of the law, attention to detail, and confidence in the courtroom made all the difference. Highly recommended for anyone who n...eeds a strong and reliable defense attorney. You will regret not hiring him.

Thank You David!

Mr. Burrows has been by my side for 11 months as I have navigated a very trying and difficult legal situation. As of today, we are finally at the end with an excellent outcome. I can give him my highest recommendation! 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."
