Ryan Dove

About Ryan

I moved to Houston in 2003 to work as an engineer at Shell. After a few years I decided to change career paths and attended law school at the University of Houston. The summer after my first year of law school I worked an internship with bankruptcy Judge Jeff Bohm followed by an internship at Adair & Myers, PLLC doing mostly bankruptcy work. I enjoy bankruptcy law because it involves a little bit of many areas of law and allows interaction with clients. A lot of practicing bankruptcy includes counseling your clients and helping them get a fresh start.

I returned to Adair & Myers, PLLC the next summer to continue my internship and began working as an associate attorney after passing the bar in November 2008.

In the fall of 2009 I left Adair & Myers, PLLC to begin working for my mentor, Adam Schachter, at the Schachter Law Firm, P.C. to continue working as a bankruptcy lawyer. In the fall of 2014 Adam Schachter decided to retire and I began the Dove Law Firm, PLLC to carry on the client-centered method of practicing bankruptcy law that had been instilled in me.

I also volunteer my time to co-teach a semi-annual class for attorneys called Bankruptcy Basics. This class is put on through Lone Star Legal Aide. In order to attend the class the attorneys must agree to take a pro bono case.

I was in a very distressing situation with a judgement filed against... me and I missed both my court dates. The judgement reached the level of a court appointed 3rd party being appointed to assist with collecting the judgement against me. This is NOT a situation you want to be in!! I decided to hire this firm to help because I didn’t have the money for the judgement, but I did want to resolve the situation. Ryan was a straight shooter. He didn’t promise me anything and made it very clear all the things I was up against.We placed an offer to settle and it was months of no response from the plaintiffs. Ryan was very diligent and continued to press them for a response. Finally, he was able to negotiate a deal where I was able to give a lump sum of what I had and make payments for the remaining balance. He saved me over 50% off the judgement. He undersold and over over delivered! I’m so grateful for his assistance getting me out of this predicament. Awesome attorney and law firm!read more

Ryan Dove's services are an admirable benchmark of professionalism... and compassion, regarding his quality of service for his clientele.I'm normally a stodgy 'go it alone' person, having been met with many disappointing results from most anything I've ever contracted out for. My wife's and my hiring of him for representation is one of a few times such a contract was not only highly rewarded, but also done so compassionately. His interpersonal professional skills, generously backed with first rate understanding of the process and law, genuinely impressed!This isn't a paid for or comped review. I hardly take the time to write reviews, with exception of those services or products I find extremely valuable, where compassion is such an obvious weighed motivating force.read more

Ryan Dove is the BEST Attorney I've ever dealt with. Facing... bankruptcy is something none of us want to do, but unfortunately, circumstances may dictate otherwise. In my initial conversation I found Ryan to be professional, compassionate, understanding and very knowledgeable and informative which is why I chose Dove Law firm PLLC. Ryan made a difficult process easy and helped guide me through my bankruptcy. He is very punctual in answering your phone calls and emails. The Dove Law Firm ALWAYS has YOUR best interest in mind and really helps you in every way that they can. My Chapter 13 Bankruptcy case was confirmed today and I am so thankful and grateful to Ryan and the Dove Law firm for alleviating all my stress and concerns and giving me a "fresh start" in life. I would recommend the Dove Law firm as the PREMIER law firm to all. Thank you.read more
