"We were referred to the Mueller Law Group by our realtor and we worked with Michaela Urscheler through our closing. It was an excellent experience - smooth, no surprises through the process and we were prepared to close well ahead of time (eventually doing so, though, on the planned date only because of travel schedules on our end). Michaela was proactive; detail-oriented and was immediately responsive on email and phone when we had questions and concerns. Based on that experience, we would absolutely recommend the Mueller Law Group."
