I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. I was one of eight children, did not have a “privileged” upbringing, but am extremely grateful for my parents’ many sacrifices. They instilled in me a work ethic that I carry with me to this day.

Throughout my years, I have overcome many personal and professional challenges. I now devote my professional life to helping clients overcome their financial challenges.

When you meet me, you will find me to be professional but personable. I try to live my life like an exclamation, not an explanation! I believe that I am brave and willing to take informed risks. I am committed to constant self-improvement, always using my time as wisely as possible.

I look forward to the opportunity to serve you!

Glad I chose Don Hood

We went over the Chapter 7 process in full detail and he answered any questions I had. I quickly realized he's very personable and charismatic. The morning of the meeting of the creditors, I experience extreme anxiety/panic over possibly being late and every other possible worst case scenario enter...ed my mind. I called Don and he helped calm me down and the process went smoothly.

EXTRAORDINARY, EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

Devastated, Overwhelmed, Scared, Anxious, and Embarrassed are just a few words that describe my feeling of having to file bankruptcy. That is, until I met Attorney Hood. He is such an excellent attorney. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and effectively efficient....more than anything, he has ...a very CARING HEART. I felt not so much as a client....Attorney Hood made me feel as if I was one of his family members. For me, that goes a very, very long way. I highly recommend Attorney Hood to anyone who is considering filing bankruptcy. He provides his knowledge, time, care, and proficiency with no holds barred. I thank you, Attorney Hood, with my most sincere heart, for caring for and taking care of me during one of the most serious, delicate times of my life.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED-THE BEST

I found myself in a very bad place and with no-one to turn to. The very first call I made to Don Hood, I knew he was the best choice especially after contacting and meeting with multiple firms. I was not a number to him or a cash symbol, I was a human being, a person in desperate need of a fresh s...tart. Not only did Don assure me I was making the best decision, but understood the emotional toll this had taken on me and made sure he did everything he could to turn my bankruptcy into something positive. I was way over $200,000.00 in debt. I was terrified, anxious and all that went out the window when I hired Don Hood. His intellect, exceptional knowledge and attention to detail made sure my Bankruptcy was accepted and now am awaiting my discharge. Many firms said they were unable to help with my bankruptcy due to other factors but Don said he could, he would and HE DID! I cannot say enough words to emphasize how amazing and gifted this man is. I am beyond thankful for the heavy weight he has lifted off my shoulders and the life he has given back to me and my family. Don - From the deepest place in my heart, Thank you for giving me my life back (happy tears in my eyes). : )

It was a pleasure working with you, Laura . . . Thanks! DH

Posted by Teresa | May 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

Simply the Best in Dallas!

I contacted Mr. Hood after much research on reviews and due to the unresponsiveness of another attorney. I was stressed out because a creditor had frozen my bank account and I needed answers right away. Mr. Hood was everything the reviews said he was. Responsive, caring and promptly put my concerns a...t ease. I am very grateful for his expertise.

Bankruptcy and debt lawyer | Nov 06

Relationship: Co-worker

"Don is a rare breed of attorney. Many attorneys claim they will answer your calls 24/7, but Don actually will. Many attorneys promise personal service and attention to each case but fail to deliver. Don will not only offer that, but exceed your expectations. I have worked with Don for many years and can honestly say you will not find a harder working individual in the field. He treats his clients like they are his friends and he would never recommend something to you unless he would also recommend it to his own family. You are in very good hands if you hire Don!"

Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer | Sep 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Don Hood is by far one of the top Bankruptcy Lawyers in Dallas. The level of service he provides his clients is nearly unheard of these days. He meets with clients at unusual hours, always answers his phone, always returns phone calls, and is "hands on" with his clients throughout the entire bankruptcy process. As a fellow bankruptcy attorney, I know what it takes to be a good bankruptcy lawyer; I highly and unequivocally recommend and endorse Don Hood."
