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!

Bankruptcy

I found myself in a position where I was no longer able to even make minimum payments for credit cards and personal loans and i didnt know what to do. Bankruptcy was not even an option I thought I had until a coworker had informed me about it and gave me Mr. Hoods number. He had contacted me for a...n initial consultation (on the weekend, mind you) and before I knew it, I was in the process of a fresh start. He's very thorough and leaves no stone unturned. Not once did he ever make me feel uncomfortable and it really was like I was dealing with a friend. From the very moment of my first contact with Mr. Don Hood, I felt reassured that I was in the right hands. He was able to help me in my situation and I can't recommend him enough. He made everything so clear and precise that I knew I was going to get my finances and life back on track to where I want to be.

Thank you Miguel! It's a team effort, and we couldn't have gotten the results we did without your help. Don

Easy Peezy

I cannot even begin with to tell you how Mr. Hood helped me get back on track. He was compassionate and listened to every detail of my circumstances. He made a horrible situation an easy manageable one. I couldn’t be more happy with what he accomplished for me. Thanks to Mr. Hood I can smile and liv...e again.

Thanks Clifford! I'm glad I could help you with your situation.

Thank you Don!

Excellent overall experience. Many law firms want to subject you to an 'assembly line' style interaction. In contract, Attorney Hood took the time to thoroughly understand the dynamics of the case and delivered remarkable individualized service. Also he asked a lot of hard questions up front to en...sure a successful outcome. This is a superb, caring lawyer (wish there were more of them in this world!)

BEST BANKRUPTCY LAWYER IN DFW

Don was truly heaven sent! My husband and I had a really hard time with the lawyers we previously hired. We contacted Don and he made sure we understood the full process ! He took his time and even allow us to drop off documents after hours to work with our time frame and schedules. I would recom...mend him to ANYONE needing help. You can tell he is passionate about helping his clients and truly cares. Thanks for giving us a fresh start Don!

Unfortunately I had to file for bankruptcy. Don is very helpful, explained all of my options and answered all of my questions. I was afraid of the process but he made it easy for me. Communicated with me and updated me at all times. Definitely will recommend to family and friends!!!

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."
