Len C. Mueller

Len C. Mueller has been actively engaged in the practice of law for approximately thirty years following her 1985 graduation from Campbell University School of Law.  Due to her interest in people and her desire to help others, Ms. Mueller limited her practice to family law.  During the last quarter century, she has represented literally hundreds of men and women to resolve their legal issues related to family law such as separation, child custody, child support, post-separation support and alimony, and equitable distribution.

Ms. Mueller is a board certified specialist in the area of family law, having received this certification from the North Carolina State Bar in 1994.  She has maintained her specialist certification since that time.  By retaining a Family Law Specialist, Mueller Law clients are assured their legal matters are being handled by an expert.

Ms. Mueller is a certified Divorce and Family Financial Mediator.  She obtained this certification in 2006.   She is a member of the North Carolina Chapter of the Association for Conflict Resolution and the North Carolina Association of Professional Family Mediators.  By retaining a certified mediator, Mueller Law clients are assured their cases will be resolved without costly litigation if at all possible.

Ms. Mueller is committed to settlement of her cases, and she is passionate about her work as both a mediator and as an attorney representing litigants during mediation.  Valuable communication skills and techniques learned during her mediation certification make Ms. Mueller an exceptional negotiator and her years of experience give her the insight to evaluate cases for settlement.

North Carolina Business magazine recognized Ms. Mueller as a Legal Elite in 2007 and again in 2009 for her determination, commitment and vision.

Ms. Mueller was asked to serve as an Adjunct Professor at Campbell University School of Law teaching Family Law Planning and she enjoyed teaching at the law school for seven years.  Many of Ms. Mueller’s former students are now licensed attorneys practicing in North Carolina. 

Ms. Mueller is a member of the North Carolina and Wake County Bar Associations, the Family Section of The N.C. Bar Association, and the American Association for Justice.   She served on the Family Law Council of North Carolina Bar Association.

Ms. Mueller credits her former law partners, Richard T. ("Rick") Gammon and Russell W. DeMent, for her success as a litigator.  Mr. Gammon and Mr. DeMent are two of the best trial lawyers in North Carolina, if not the entire United States.  Ms. Mueller is equally appreciative of Anne B. Salisbury, former Wake County District Court Judge, who first gave her the opportunity in 1987 to join DeMent Askew as a “baby lawyer” and who thereafter instructed her, albeit informally, in family law.

Ms. Mueller understands the struggle to balance a professional life with a personal life.  She is happily married and looks forward to celebrating her 30th wedding anniversary with her husband next year.  She is blessed with three sons, one fiancee, two dogs and one cat. 

When she is not working, Ms. Mueller enjoys travelling with her family and with her friends.  She also devotes time to various nonprofits, including Tri It for Life - Raleigh Chapter serving as Vice President and mentor working with athletes training for their first Ramblin' Rose Triathlon.
