Find anyone else

Jay was completely unprepared for my court date. He didn't prepare an argument, wasn't ready for cross-examination, and in fact didn't even review (or even have knowledge of) evidence the Plaintiff's brought to court. He actually advised me to admit to all of the allegations brought against me in w...riting prior to the initial court date so the judge would have "both sides of the story". I feel like I would have been better off with no attorney than with Jay.

Great choice

Jay helped me with my divorce. He knows how the system works and how best to maneuver through it. He made some strategic moves at the right time that moved my case from a stall to being completed within 30 days.

Attorney Review

Jay has been a big help during the most difficult time of my life. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He is willing to listen and fight for me. I highly recommend him.

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.

Always there for you

I went through 5 DWI's with Jay, and was only convicted of 3. He kept me out of jail and knew all my judges personally. He's a man of God and a man of his word. I highly recommend him to anyone! He'll get you what's better than fair and never judges his clients for their crimes. He's there to help de...fend you, and he will do an exceptional job.

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.
