Great, kind, knows his facts, and patient.

David Mueller is an excellent attorney. He knows his facts, and works with you. He never keeps you out of the loop. He is quick to respond to any messages you leave him. I am very pleased to have him represent me. He worked very hard to get my charges dropped, and reduced. He didn't take no for an a...nswer.

Trustful, honest, and thorough

Dave represented my son as a result of an arrest that was improper and had no substance. He was extremely knowledgable, kept us informed throughout the process and eased our worries during the process. he saw the case through to the end and knew exactly what to do to get my son's case dismissed! We ...appreciate everything he did for our family!

My Son's case

Our family was very happy with the way Dave handled my son's case. The case was rather complex, but Dave was very thorough and diligent in defending my son. My son received the best outcome possible, thanks to Dave's efforts. Additionally, Dave was able to explain the process at each step along the w...ay. I would recommend Dave Mueller to anyone who needs a very well versed and experienced defense attorney.

Simply the best

Attorney Mueller had his hands full with 3 different cases concerning my son. A young man that made mistakes but Attorney Mueller always treated him with respect and did his best to help him understand his situations. He was very patient with my son, and did a great job checking into the law concer...ning his charges. Attorney Mueller is very professional and cares about his clients. He was able to keep my son out of jail and agree to other ways for him to pay for his crimes. I would use Attorney Mueller again and would him to anyone needing a criminal defense lawyer.

Dave B. Mueller: Professional and Dilligent

Back in September of 2014, I retained the services of Attorney David B. Meuller Esquire to litigate two summary charges against me. He was the second attorney I hired for my case. The first had recommended the firm of Colgan & Associates. Mr. Meuller demonstrated a keen sense of the situati...on, a firm grasp of the issues and an immediate action plan before the close of our first conversation over the phone. I needed help immediately on account of an incorrect and baseless impending bench warrant. Mr. Meuller put that issue to rest before our first face to face meeting. I felt I was in good hands and indeed I was. Before and on the day of the appeal of my case, Mr. Meuller texted me and assured me that he would be there before my arrival at court and, in addition, relayed instructions on where to find him. On the day of my appeal, Mr. Meuller conferred with me prior to the hearing. He said, “I always want to go into court with something in my quiver.” What he had in his quiver made my year. After canvassing all parties and judiciary persons, my case file went from the “later pile” to the “Now Pile”. I was called and appeared before the Judge. The Judge agreed on the terms and set a final appearance date. Mr. Meuller made sure both parties met face to face and we shook hands. Then, privately, Mr. Meuller advised me on a few more things and I left the courthouse an incredibly happy man. Wow! I thought out loud that Jesus Christ could not have done a better job of reconciliation! The final appearance went cleanly and swiftly. I have already relayed to my pastor and many others that if anyone in our congregation needs legal help that they should contact the firm of Colgan & Associates. Mr. Meuller is a most professional attorney and I had the great pleasure of meeting him and having him lead me through a most difficult time. In other words, if the only thing David Meuller has ever dropped in his life was an umlaut, then he has lived an exceptional life indeed.
