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!

Excellent customer experience during a difficult time in my life
I consulted Donald E. Hood because I was at a difficult moment in my life. I was having a hard time finding a job therefore I was unable to pay my monthly payments to my creditors. This led me to be hit with so many late fees and I was lost, I didn't know what to do. I read of Donald E. Hood and his ...
Thank you for your kind expression of gratitude! Don

Mr.
Don Hood is an absolutely amazing Bankruptcy attorney. I had never done that before and was very nervous about it. He cleared all doubts I had and was very honest with me. Don helped me with every single step and made the process very painless. He does not treat you like a number, but actually someon...

Great job
Don Hood was very helpful with my situation. He took the time to explain all of my options and was straight forward when it came to what would work to put me in the best position to rebuild my finances.
I am humbled by your kind words . . . Thank you! Don
"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!"
"I have known Don for several years and I am impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of the law. Don always energetically and promptly provides quality legal services to his clients. I endorse Don Hood without reservation."
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Don is a great person and a great illustration of what an attorney should be. Not only is he dedicated to superb client satisfaction, he is willing to bend over backwards to help other attorneys out. I wouldn't think twice about recommending him to anyone-- including family."
"I have known Don for fourteen years as a practicing attorney. He is one of the most upright, ethical people I know, and I value his counsel and advice both professionally and personally. I have and will continue to refer clients to him for matters that exceed my areas of practice; and in so doing, I have every confidence that their legal matters will be handled responsibly and competently."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Don is extremely knowledgeable in the area of bankruptcy and can easily explain the process, benefits, and consequences of Chapter 7 Bankrtupcy to clients. He is responsive, professional, and dedicated to obtaining positive results. I would not hesitate to refer my clients to Don for bankruptcy issues, and have done so in the past."
