do not hire this guy he will confiscate your money

I paid Edward Muton $10,000 to represent me and did not receive the level of representation I was promised. He did not visit me while I was incarcerated. Communication was minimal. I saw no evidence that my case file was thoroughly reviewed or prepared. I also experienced conduct that I found d...isrespectful and unprofessional, including remarks about my family that were entirely inappropriate. When someone is facing criminal charges, competent and engaged representation is not optional — it is essential. In my experience, that standard was not met. Before hiring this attorney, I strongly recommend demanding clear written expectations regarding communication, case review, and documented work. I would not make the same decision again.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
