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!

Great Listner and Great Lawyer
Mr. Donald E. Hood- Took my call gave me his professional opinion about the Lawsuit I was facing. I will say one thing he is the guy you want to talk to if you are stressed about a business lawsuit. He explained to me in detail about why I don’t need to worry about this lawsuit.
I’m glad I was able to allay your concerns. Sleep well! Don

Mr. Hood exceeded every expectation I had for a bankruptcy attorney. From the moment I contacted his office, I felt reassured that I was in capable hands. Filing for bankruptcy is an intimidating and emotional decision, but Mr. Hood made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Hi...
Thanks Jimmy! I'm glad that we could get great results for you.

Expert, Personable, and Reliable Bankruptcy Lawyer
I can’t recommend Don enough for anyone considering bankruptcy. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic, which made a stressful situation so much more manageable. He explained every step of the process clearly, answered all of my questions patiently, ...
Thank you for the time and effort you spent writing this well-thought-out review. I am smiling from ear-to-ear, and hope that I can serve all my Clients as well as you say I served you. This is not an easy job, but when I get it right, these reviews make it all worthwhile. Don

Don: My Legal Lifeguard
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for my attorney, Don, who has been an invaluable support during some of the most challenging times in my life. When I was battling cancer, I also faced the distressing ordeal of identity theft, which spiraled my finances out of control. This u...
Once your attorney, now your friend! Thanks for your kind words, Don

Don is the Real Deal!
Don is THE MAN! Ive never met a Lawyer that is as efficient, takes calls and emails day and night, (I don't think he sleeps or vacations, but LOVES his wiener dog! ha) and maps everything out as good and clear as Don did. His assistant Oliver was REALLY good at his job. Both very professional and cla...
Thanks for helping us help you! You made our job easy, and as a result, we should receive the results we expected. Don & Oliver
"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."
