Military Base DUI

I was charged with DUI after stopping at a military check point. It was the first time anything like this has happened to me and I didn’t know what to do. I started to search for information and came across Rick Mueller. After reading many reviews, especially the ones dealing with DUI on military ...bases, I decided to contact him. He responded right away with all the information I needed and quickly put my worries to rest. His cost was very reasonable and he answered every question I had, big or small, any time of day. I never had to go to court Rick handled everything and got me a great plea bargain. Because I was on a military base and contacted Rick first I have no insurance or licenses issues. It’s almost like it never happened. I would recommend Rick to anyone with a DUI and would call him immediately if I ever had the misfortune getting one again. Thanks Rick!

My second DUI

I got a DUI when I had a bad reaction to some medication one day (which I got off of right away). I handled the first one myself, which was not a good idea. While trying to take care of that DUI, I was incorrectly charged with another. Rick was such a life saver. I have medications that I have to tak...e daily, so there are probably trace amounts in my system all the time. Anyway, the DA tried to say that I was under the influence again and wanted to give me jail time. Rick got them to drop the second DUI charge, which would have had severe consequences on my life, to say the least. He always answered any questions that I had right away and he couldn't have gotten me a better outcome. My advice is never to handle your case yourself. Also, there is no distinction between prescription medications or any street drug or alcohol in the eyes of the law; they are treated just as seriously. So if you take medications like me, take them responsibly and do not drive if you feel the slightest inebriation. But if you find yourself in a similar situation, Rick is the best. Not only is he fast to respond to any questions, he constantly updates you so you know what's going on with your case and he is very reasonably priced. I would recommend Rick to anyone. He is the best! Thank you so much, Rick, for everything.

Got A DUI? Call Him!

I had my first encounter with the law when I received a DUI on a military base. My initial reaction was to just take responsibility for my actions and plead guilty since it happened out of state. However, before doing so I decided to Google San Diego DUI Lawyers and found Rick Mueller. After reading ...all of his positive reviews, I figured he would be very expensive in relation to other lawyers. This was not the case at all. He was very reasonably priced, I never had to travel back to San Diego to appear in court, he answered all of my questions ridiculously fast, and in the end wound up getting me an awesome plea bargain. He made me feel comfortable the entire time and I was able to trust him in defending me. If you receive a DUI in the San Diego area, you should 100% give Rick a call. No need to look at any other option!

Look no further

Attorney Rick Mueller defended me on a first offense DUI charge with added complexity (accident, high BAC). Rick Mueller is a lawyer in the great American tradition of representing citizens when bad things happen against an at times over zealous justice system. He was at all times – day, night, w...eekends – available and responsive. Rick’s expertise and attention to detail helped me get the best possible outcome. If you are reading this review you are looking for a lawyer to help with your case. First, you must have a lawyer don’t even think about defending yourself. Rick Mueller is the best in the field. This is probably one of the most important decisions you will make and I hope my experience helps you make it. Look no further, talk to Rick now!

San Diego DUI Lawyer

Rick Mueller is a fantastic DUI lawyer. I was stopped for a routine speeding ticket going 9mph over the speed limit as I was driving through San Diego on my way to New Mexico, driving through the night. The officer asked if I had anything to drink, probably because it was 1:30am. I had previously s...topped and had dinner with friends and had a couple of beers with my dinner, but it was several hours earlier. Anyway I was honest and said that I had 2 beers much earlier in the evening. That was enough for him to pull me out of my car and go through the process of arresting me for DUI. My BAC turned out to be .06, less than the legal limit of .08, but this was my 2nd arrest for DUI and I was still on probation for the 1st one. (Unfortunately I deserved the first DUI but had been very careful not to drink and drive since then.) Being on probation I was not allowed to have any measurable amount of alcohol in my system, so they put me in jail for the night. I called my previous lawyer in northern CA and he recommended Rick. I am so glad he did. Rick is very responsive, very efficient, his fee is very reasonable, and he really knows how to defend anyone being arrested for DUI. He was able to negotiate a plea bargain that got the DA to drop the DUI charge in exchange for a reckless driving - alcohol related charge. So, I didn't have to go to jail, or be put on trash detail, or public work program, or community service, or volunteer work. I didn't get a 2-year suspension of my driver license that usually happens from a DUI conviction, nor have my Vehicle Impounded or be required to install an Ignition Interlock Device. My fine was less than half of the normal $2539+ DUI fine. I did have to pay a fine and take the 12-hour education class, but considering what could have happened I felt that he got me a great deal. Thanks Rick, for being the best lawyer I could have had.
