Child Custody
Mueller is a great attorney who goes above and beyond. He knows his craft very well and goes above and beyond for his clients. He makes you feel very comfortable and is very professional in how he handles his business. Greatest decision I’ve made was to hire Mr. Mueller !

Choose Mueller!
Mr. Mueller takes time to listen to what you have to say and explains his strategy to you thoroughly. No matter his case load, Mr, Mueller always made himself available to discuss my case with me, whether it be an update or to discuss hypothetical scenarios. Mr. Mueller has a strong knowledge of the law and was able to help alleviate the stress my divorce had on me.

Michael Todd Mueller: Excellent Family Law attorney
I have found Mr. Mueller to be a fantastic advocate with regard to all aspects of family law. I have retained his services in two separate matters, and found his representation to be highly professional, diligent, focused and, when necessary, creative. Michael is a skilled and effective negotiator, respected by all of the court personnel involved in the afrementioned matters. His direct, no-nonsense approach is highly effective, and led to a favorable outcome in both instances. I would recommend Mr. Mueller without reservation. He is highly capable, personable and brings a level of expertise and focus that is unquestionably impressive. On top of everything else, he is a great guy!

Excellent lawyer
Mr. Michael Todd Mueller has taken over my complicated legal separation/divorce case after not so successful outcome achieved by my previous lawyer. I am happy with the results he obtained for me, particularly since it was during the period of covid-imposed lockdowns and courts overflowing with the backlogged cases. The overall timeline from the case submission to its resolution was very reasonable, and the collaboration - professional and effective. His office provided timely support and responded to my inquiries promptly. Michael made himself available at short notice and supported me in every way possible to ensure that I stayed in a positive and forward-looking state of mind. Highly and wholeheartedly recommend him for your legal needs. He is a winner.

The Right One
Mr. Mueller has represented me for multiple cases and we’ve come out on the positive side of all of them. He’s diligent, direct in communication and knowledgeable. He’s able to strategize with me five steps ahead. I wouldn’t go to any other law firm.

Great help in a domestic violence case
I needed a lawyer to represent me in a domestic violence case which I felt was fairly complicated. I was seeking a protection order against my abuser, but I felt I didn't have enough evidence to successfully argue my case in court on my own. Mr. Mueller helped me review the case, compile my evidence and successfully presented it in court; the judge ordered the protection order based on the presented facts. I fully recommend relying on Mr. Mueller's legal services.

Honest and judicious
I know Michael had my best interests at heart. He was always realistic. He always explained my options so that I could make my own decisions. When I first met with Michael I just wanted to get a settlement over and done with. The initial settlement would have been to my husband's benefit. When Michael fully understood my husband's and my situation, he did tell me I was leaving a lot of money on the table and that the laws were in my favor, but in the end it was my decision. I decided to go after what I was entitled to, because I felt Michael had my back. Our relationship felt like a true collaboration and I could not have gone all the way to the end without him. Michael won't waste your time or your money. You might have to chase after him every now and then, but I have no regrets about hiring him to handle my divorce and I am happy with the outcome.

Custody/child support
Mr Mueller addressed all my issues every step of the way. He stood by my side everytime I needed him. He was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Without Mr Mueller I know I would have not made it through trial as successful as I did. Thank you for all you've done for my kids and I.

Honest and Efficient Lawyer
Michael is a good lawyer. I have made a very good decision by hiring him. He always answers me promptly. He gives you personal attention. He is honest and efficient: he doesn't do the sales pitch nor he does sugarcoat of what he can do for you. He just do it! And do it very well! He will tell you exactly what you should expect and not expect from him. I will also do a follow-up rating once he closes my case.

An Answer to a Prayer
In my first with meeting Michael, there is a level of comfort and understanding. During such a difficult time, I felt frazzled and anxious. Michael was able to explain things to me clearly and was patient and kind in understanding my specific dilemmas and concerns. I was terribly frightened before meeting Michael. Prior to our meeting he was very responsive to my messages and calls and continues to connect with me in challenging times. I now feel that I have an intelligent, capable advocate and that things will take time but they will turn out fine. I have confidence in him and rely on him for advice and recommendations. For certain, he is an intelligent and capable attorney--it's the type of person that Michael is that makes all of the difference for me--kind, caring, compassionate and understanding--a good listener--a good heart.

Way to go!
Michael made this very unpleasent experience so much easier! He was great all around , very knowledgable, always reachable and way less expensive than other attorneys.

Caring Attorney
Michael has given me legal guidance that has prepared my in many ways for the long arduous process of divorce. I was not aware of so many things, and thought I would not be able to afford the kids without a second income. I am not only mentally prepared but have the tools to overcome this obstacle in my life. I don't know if the money that I pay you is enough, as having you by my side has been priceless. I hope you have a very successful career!!!!!

Negotiator
I am an artist and had the benefit of having Michael in my life. He was reffered by a friend and he helped me negotiate a contract with a large gallery that would have normally ate me for breakfast. I am an artist not a negotiator or someone that understands the dynamics of contracts. I am so thankful and I apologize for not putting up this review earlier but I have been so busy due to my work being displayed in the gallery. Thank you Michael. You will always be a friend that has good art work in your home!
