Acheived better results than I'd hoped for!

Dustin is approachable, easy to work with, and exceptionally competent. He took us from ridiculously low settlement offers to an offer where my portion after his fee was more than I expected the entire offer would be. He is busy, as most great attorneys are, but his excellent legal assistant Amanda... was a great resource to keep me informed where we were at. Though I hope not to need his services again any time soon, if I did need them I would hire him again without hesitation.

Dustin is a great work comp attorney!

Dustin handled a WC case for my father. He was responsive when we had concerns and he made sure that the required care for my father was moved forward as promptly as possible when the insurance carrier wasn't being appropriately responsive. He was kind to my dad and made him feel valued as a client. ...

I acted out of spite and gave my Attorney Dustin Mueller a bad review

I gave Dustin Mueller a bad review and what I said was out of spite!! I was upset at the whole thing but all in all I was wrong. Dustin Mueller is a great Attorney and I should not have said what I did. I guess the communication was on my part because I did not let him do his job the way it wa...s suppose to be and I was getting frustrated on the time it was taking. I just wanted to get this over with and I should have realized that things take time and I was not patient enough. He is an excellent Attorney and I would recommend him to anyone that needs Consultation . Again I apologize to Dustin and his staff for all they did for me and it was a mutual agreement that I find another Attorney it was not his fault. Sincerely John

If you want the BEST in the business look no further

Dustin represented me in my worker's compensation case this was the first case of this kind that I have ever been involved in. And as the process moved forward Dustin was always right there to answer all my questions, and explain them so I could understand. And during the settlement process Dustin st...ood his ground to got me a unprecedented 91 percent of the clams value if you want the BEST look no further
