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!

Best attorney in the DFW

One of the best in DFW. If you really want someone who till take care of you and your questions, this is the person you want. He will put you first before anything. I made an inquiry to his firm on a Tuesday or Wednesday around 2pm and within 5 minutes he gave me a call. He was out running an errand ...but did not hesitate to give me a call or wait till he got back to the office. He is super knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. I had concerns right before I filed thinking I might not qualify for a chapter 7 because of the unique situation I had, but he cleared the road for me. Again, great attorney to work with.

Thank you Efrain! I'm glad we got the results we sought. Don

Flexible and Accommodating

Don helped my husband and I so much with our bankruptcy! He was flexible and accommodating. He was able to break everything down so it was easy for us to understand. We could not have done it without his help! We highly recommend him!

Great Lawyer

Don explained the process for my case very clearly. He told me the documents needed for my case. He was really supportive, and he has a good sense of humor.

Julie C.

Don Hood was my lighthouse in the midst of a storm. I’ve always fought my own battles but bankruptcy is a tricky situation you definitely need the Best attorney to handle for you. I know Don Hood is exactly that, he knows his business, straight forward and honest. If you find yourself overwhelmed wit...h debt for whatever reason don’t waste your time on calling anyone else give Don a call he IS the best. After waisting my time talking to other attorneys I found they were not as knowledgeable as Don without a doubt. I now consider him my new friend he truly is a good guy! Thank you so much Don and God Bless! xoxo

Best Attorney Ever

Don is the most real, down to earth attorney I've ever seen. He is friendly, personable, yet very professional and knows his stuff. He goes above and beyond to make sure you understand everything while making you feel comfortable with the process. I recommend him to anyone who needs assistance with f...inancial difficulty. He also beat other attorneys costs, and assisted me with Chapter 7 when other attorneys didn't even try after I was inquiring about chapter 13. If he didn't only handle financial matters, he would be my lawyer for life. Thanks Don!

Christopher Wilkes

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!"

Richard Reister

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."
