Great experience

My case went on for over 2 years and David mueller was by side the entire time. He went through all the avenues possible and went over all the options with me in detail. He explained everything to me in detail and gave me my best option. Any questions I had he answered them and was always available. ...He did what was for my best interest. I highly recommend David Mueller.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - My Personal Experience...

Dave was absolutely phenomenal for me, my family and my case. I would give him 10+ stars if possible! My case, like many others, was unique. I was wrongfully charged with a DUI, but I put myself in a *very* bad situation (needing Dave) - looking at a minimum of a year in jail. These are m...y personal experiences with Dave and the courts... Dave did everything that a "typical" attorney might do - make you feel comfortable with the process. He told me about the procedures, the logistics and my personal options. Dave did everything that you would expect from a top attorney. But, Dave did much more... My case was strange in that the prosecutor likely felt that she had a "slam dunk" case against me (based on police reports). Dave and I met several times to discuss the actual truth of what happened. Dave negotiated a good deal with the prosecutor (one that would have kept my job, my house and my family), but I was unhappy that the "deal" seemed way too harsh for not actually committing the crime. The "deal" was for me spend 3 months in jail, and then another 9 months house arrest. I would likely (but knowing law enforcement...) keep my job, but it would be tough on my family. I declined the "deal"... [It was a good deal, but I took a gamble to proceed to trial]. We went to court - the whole jury thing. Not fun, and very , very stressful. Dave was perfect. He laid out the case better than I could imagine (I'm a smart guy, and Dave impressed me! I couldn't have come up with his angles!). Ultimately, the judge almost threw out the case (based on Dave's well-crafted, but true arguments). So, we went to the jury. I cannot begin to communicate how well Dave was prepared for the defense and for final arguments. He crushed it! He was playing chess while the prosecution was playing (not even checkers, but) tiddly-winks. We won - not guilty on all accounts. I keep my family, my house and my job! My family is happy! PS: In a strange way, I started being concerned that the jury was going to bias me for having a "too rich" attorney - meaning that the jury might think that I was rich enough to afford Dave. I'm not a rich guy. Dave was well worth the money, and he portrayed himself as a High $$ guy, when he wasn't. I hope that this helps you understand my personal experience, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dave as a thoughtful and diligent attorney!

Hired for case

I had the pleasure of consulting and hiring David for my case. David gives good advice and he is pleasant to work with. I would recommend David to anyone who needs consulted or needs an attorney to hire for a case. David is a great lawyer, and he knows what he is doing. In contacting David for my c...ase(DUI), he was prompt to get back with me, where by phone or email. If it's a first time offense, no need to worry he will explain what you need,.... With that Said, Contact "David Mueller", to be your consultant and/or hired lawyer.

David Mueller is a wonderful, knowledgeable, top notch professional with a warm, reassuring manner.

My first experience with being charged with an offense was tramatic to me and my daughter (falsely charged I might add) and David Mueller was the first time I contacted an attorney. He immediately explained my situation according to the law, calmed me down by reassuring me of what to expect and what... not to worry about, and did so in the most professional and protective manner. My emotional state of mind weny from panic to peace in one phone call. He took care of m situation without a court case and spared me and my precious 13 year daughter having to endure an uncomfortable hearing by negotiating my situation which ended up being expunged. I highly recommend David Mueller because he is a knowledgeable, perceptive, professional to handle your legal needs and put your mind at rest that you are in the best possible hands in a trying life situation.

Great Attorney

Mr. Mueller was extremely helpful in helping me receive a fair and favorable outcome to my 2nd D.U.I case. He was very hands-on and did an excellent job. I would recommend him! He made sure the Judge and DA knew all the steps I had taken to change my life since the DUI occurred.
