About Daniel
Biography
In nearly three decades as a lawyer, bankruptcy and debt relief have been the most personally rewarding areas of my practice. Every day I see people who, through no fault of their own, are falling deep into debt, suffering harassment from creditors, and finding themselves in danger of losing their homes, cars, and businesses. I am dedicated to helping people find solutions to difficult financial problems. My practice is focuses on Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, foreclosure, debt settlement, and related areas of consumer law.
Over the years, I have helped numerous people stop creditor harassment and lawsuits; save their homes from foreclosure; and keep their cars, retirement funds, and other personal property. My clients have discharged and restructured millions of dollars of debt. If you need help dealing with a tough financial situation, give me a call.
For more information on bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy means of resolving your debt, visit my Philadelphia Bankruptcy Attorney website. My practice represents clients throughout Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, Bucks, Berks, Lancaster, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania.
I am a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys and the National Association of Consumer Advocates.

Knowledgeable, responsive and practical
I consulted Mr. Mueller over a credit card debt issue. He suggested a practical solution no other attorneys came up with though it did not require his representation at this time. He is very responsive and calm in demeanor and communication. He is a good listener, too. I highly recommend him.
