Michael S. Dove
Raised on the family farm near Appleton, Minnesota, Mike understands the importance of hard work and dedication and takes this approach in his law practice. After serving as a law clerk for the retired Honorable Gregory F. Kishel, United States Bankruptcy Judge, Mike’s roots and love for rural life—and his extreme dislike for congested traffic—brought him to New Ulm, where he has been practicing law with Gislason & Hunter ever since 1993 and is a partner at the firm.
Mike has extensive knowledge and expertise in the areas of debtor-creditor rights, bankruptcy, corporate law, agricultural law and commercial litigation. Mike’s practice has evolved into handling complex and sophisticated debtor-creditor and bankruptcy matters, representing numerous lending and financial institutions. Mike has also spoken at various seminars regarding collection and foreclosure bankruptcy issues.
