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!

Thank you VERY MUCH Meagan! I hope you are thriving, Don

Posted by Kevin | February 17, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

If I could give 6 stars, I would

1. Donald is about relationships. With the client and with the attorneys that he negotiates with on the client's behalf. After about two conversations, I felt like Donald was an old friend. I love that Donald prefers phone calls to texts and emails. 2. Donald rolls up his sleeves and gets right to ...work. My particular cases were done with 3 days of my initial phone call. Yes, cases! Yes, done in 3 days! 3. Donald delivered. The agreements that Donald reached on my behalf were very reasonable. Donald answered his phone EVERY SINGLE TIME I called, even when he was at lunch. Thank you, Donald Hood, for your effective negotiation skills, excellence in customer service and work ethic.

An Expert in his Field

Mr. Hood is an excellent lawyer. He is thorough, well-informed and knowledgeable about his field of work. He will hold you accountable as he explains the benefits, risks, outcomes and contingencies. If you give him what he needs, he reciprocates 100 percent. Don is available all the time. He answe...rs your call with your name. If he is with a client, he concisely explains and then gets back to you promptly. He is both urgent and patient at the same time, as well as at the right time. We believe he truly cared about us and our case. He had our best interests at heart. He sought information about our situation and got to know us as he navigated us through our case. He knew we had gotten bad advice from a previous professional and he was gracious enough to let us distrust him while he proved himself. We highly recommend using Mr. Hood if you are in need of bankruptcy services.

AMAZING!!

Mr. Hood is the best at what he does. He explains the process from beginning to end. I was never confused about the process or felt as if it were just business. He goes far and beyond for his clients. He answered my emails, texts messages, and calls in a timely manner. He was so kind and caring thro...ughout the entire process. I am so happy with the outcome and with his services. I wish I could’ve given him more than 5 stars.

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."

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.
