Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Chip Mues and his practice were very professional, caring, and knowledgeable about my case. We worked together for about a year, and I was always kept up to date on the progress and next steps. Chip and his paralegal Robin really cared about me and my family, and they worked hard to find a resolution that was the best option for us. I would 100% recommend Chip Mues for any of your Family Law needs. I know he will always be my first call.
Chip has been representing me on a multi-year long divorce involving complicated immigration issues. He is knowledgetable, empathetic and responsive. I have always felt that he truly has my best interests at heart. While the case is ongoing, I am very pleased with his performance to date and would unreservedly recommend him.
I believe my case was very special as I am foreigner and my ex had extremely difficult personalities to deal with causing lots of troubles. Chip's knowledge of family law and his in-depth strategies brought me the full custody of our child and protected life of our child. I thank Chip and his team for their excellent support very much. I do not want to have legal issue anymore, but if I ever have it in the future, I will use them again.
Chip is an awesome atty. Treated me as if I were his only client. Phone calls were returned that day or next. E-mails were replied that day or next. Kept me up to date on all court dates. Professional and respectable firm.
As a father seeking custody of my children, I interviewed with multiple attorneys. Chip was communicative, very well informed on the law/courts/ judges, provided clear expectations, and understood the importance of timing. He promptly generated my decree, supported my goals for custody, was ahead of the curve during the entire process. There were no surprises and the final order was exactly as we planned. Highly recommended for father's seeking expertise and an advocate!
The judge said this was "the worst divorce case to ever come through his court." Mr. Mues (Chip) represented our daughter. With no prior experience in divorce, we had many questions. Chip & his assistant, Cornelia, were accessible by phone or email with timely responses & suggestions. These communications helped control costs. Chip's proactive approach prepared us for any scenario. His knowledge of Family Law and use of experts in other fields resulted in the children's safety & best outcome.
Robert Mues assisted me with my divorce from wife with two children, one with special needs. Robert ("Chip") and his firm did an excellent job in clearly communicating the issues with opposing counsel and the courts. His demeanor is pleasant, understanding and direct. His guidance in the uncomfortable matter of divorce was efficient, professional and thorough. I highly recommend Robert and his firm to others should they find themselves in similar circumstances.
Hired Mr. Mues to take care of my child custody issues. Cannot say enough about how my case was handled. My phone calls and emails were returned lightening fast. The outcome of my case was better than I could have imagined. Mr. Mues and Ms. Shockey are an amazing team! Hopefully I will not have to retain a lawyer in the future, but if I do, my choice has already been made!
