Great attorney!

Mr Mueller, Has done an excellent job on my case. I’m a single, morther who had an ugly, divorce and child, custody case. Mr Mueller, took his time to explain, understand, and made me feel comfortable to hire him. I shopped around for attorneys, before and all they wanted is “money” not to intere...sted about taking my case. Mr Mueller, Made me feel like I mattered and comfortable and called me just to check up on me before and after the hearings. Also just to check up on me to see if I’m doing okay. My money, has been spent well. I’ve spent over $15,000 on other Lawyers. And nothing got done money lost and time. Is the worst feeling. If you’re looking for a great attorney hire Mr. Mueller! You well not be disappointed.

Satisfied client

I have hired Jay Mueller on 4 different occasions for DWI cases. He met with me personally multiple times and gave sincere support and concrete advice. 2 of the 4 were dismissed and he kept me from doing jail time after all my mistakes. I would refer him to ANYONE. He is a brilliant God filled man an...d lawyer. And does all different kinds of cases not just dwi.

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.
