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!

Starting a new chapter

Sometimes you just know - I spent all of fifteen minutes researching bankruptcy lawyers before picking Don Hood, and after the initial consultation I knew I had made the right choice. Don was very friendly, went above and beyond in his responsiveness, was thorough in his work, and generally made the ...process as easy as possible. I only wish I had sought out his services sooner.

Thank you Giovanni! Don

Outstanding Attorney!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Don (attorney) and Oliver (paralegal) to resolve my bankruptcy issues, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. I initially chose Don because of his reputation and great reviews for handling bankruptcy cases with professionalism and care. After ...researching several attorneys in the area, I felt confident that Don had the expertise I needed. From the first consultation over the phone, I was impressed with how thorough Don and Oliver were. Throughout the entire process Don and Oliver were highly responsive. They guided me through my case and the results were an instant relief. If you are facing financial difficulties and need a reliable, knowledgeable and efficient attorney, I highly recommend The Law Office of Donald E. Hood, PLLC., for a fresh start.

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...ltimately led to the heartbreaking decision to close my business and file for bankruptcy—an incredibly daunting step. For four long years, I felt a deep sense of hopelessness as I waited for the judicial system to take action and finally secure an arrest. Then I met Don. His straightforward approach and deep understanding of my situation provided me with the clarity and confidence I desperately needed. He guided me through the bankruptcy process, always taking the time to explain each detail in a way I could grasp. His honesty and directness were exactly what I needed during such a turbulent time. Don's commitment to his clients is evident not just in his legal expertise, but in his genuine care. He monitored my credit throughout the bankruptcy and even took proactive measures against creditors who weren’t complying. I was astonished when he sent me money when it was due to me. His trust in me and dedication to my well-being exceeded my expectations. Years later, when I needed assistance with a non-contested divorce, I turned to Don again. He handled everything with the same fairness and professionalism, making a difficult situation much easier to navigate. Most recently, I asked him about estate planning, and once again, he was there to help, offering his services. What truly sets Don apart is his genuine motivation to help people rather than just profit; his fees are very reasonable. He is trustworthy, honest, and delivers the hard truths that others might shy away from. If you’re looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about your well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Don. He will be your advocate every step of the way.

"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!"

"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.
