Worthy of trust and confidence
When I first retained Mr. Dove I was an emotional mess from my divorce, I had six figures in debt, and was about to be sued by a creditor. Mr. Dove's calm and analytical demeanor exuded professionalism and reassurance which was very helpful in my time of need. I no longer felt alone. Mr. Dove ...

Finest Character and Legitimately Sincere
Ryan, took my request for a meeting with impressive urgency and gave me a complete comfort at points of my case. I cannot recommend he and his team any higher. Top notch.

Lawyer you can trust and respect
Like many people, I'm suspicious of attorneys. Visiting with some of them regarding my issues only made me more cynical - they are often self-absorbed, arrogant, unable to clearly communicate... Well, Ryan Dove is the exact opposite of it. Impeccably professional and at the same time friendly and per...

Knowledgeable, Helpful
Mr Dove is just who I needed to help me through my Bankruptcy. During our consultation, he put me at ease and answered my questions. His advice was genuine. He didn't promise me sunshine & rainbows, laid out the facts as they were, and recommended a course of action. I am thankful I chose Mr. Dov...

Ryan J. Dove's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Why? Because as a person filing bankruptcy , you don't know what type of attorney you are meeting with usually if no background checks. This attorney provides accurate and detailed answers to Avvo debtors..which shows he has the knowledge and expertise to provide you accurate information. All of us attorneys know attorneys we would never refer a family member to and others who we would refer them to. You should want this type of attorney so you know you are taken care of. I suggest you discuss your case with him first; you can always obtain a second opinion but I am confident you wont want to."
"Well respected in the legal community"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"We share office space with Ryan Dove. He is a very knowledgeable attorney, and I highly recommend him for any bankruptcy matter!"

"I endorse Ryan Dove as a bankruptcy attorney. I've known him and his work for several years, and he does excellent work. He genuinely cares about his clients and strives to do his best. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him myself if I needed help with a bankruptcy or if I had debt problems."
"I have worked with Ryan in regard to bankruptcy cases. He is knowledgeable, diligent, and prepared. When you get down to it, this is the essence of a good lawyer."
"Ryan was my right hand in my bankruptcy practice for over five years. Near the end, he was pretty much my left hand as well. Had it not been for my career change, Ryan would have become my partner and taken over my now defunct law firm. He is kind, thorough, prompt, reasonable and knows the ins and outs of our bankruptcy world better than anyone I know. TREAD CAREFULLY when hiring a bankruptcy attorney. You only know you've hired a bad one after it's too late. Ryan is one of the few good ones in town, on every level, and you can't possibly go wrong with him as your lawyer. You have plenty of choices: make a good one and choose Ryan."
"Ryan J Dove is a new volunteer attorney here on Avvo & it is already clear that his emphasis is on solving client problems. I am looking forward to seeing Attorney Dove's continued contributions here on Avvo & am honored to take this opportunity to endorse him."
