We study the effects of the coupling to an Ohmic quantum environment on the static and dynamical properties of a class of disordered spin models in a transverse magnetic field using a method of direct spin summation. We discuss the influence of the environment on various features of the phase diagram of the models as well as on the stability of the possible phases.
