Partner
Joe Muller is a trial attorney and appellate advocate with over 35 years of experience. He uses his knowledge and experience to help clients successfully resolve their disputes through litigation or settlement. He has tried cases in both State and Federal courts. Joe has also represented clients before state and federal appellate courts. As a California lawyer Joe has worked on contract, real estate, insurance defense, and malpractice cases. Before moving to California Joe practiced law in Omaha, Nebraska. He handled cases involving professional malpractice, personal injury, products liability, construction site injuries, and admiralty law. He also pursued education at the graduate level in negotiation and dispute resolution.
Joe draws on his extensive experience to quickly evaluate and understand the essential facts of any case. While a thorough investigation is required, even the most complex cases often hinge on a handful of issues. Focusing on the essential issues is the key to developing a focused strategy that is efficient and effective. Controlling the risks inherent in litigation requires that there should always be attempts to reach a reasonable settlement. Having represented both plaintiffs and defendants, Joe is able to develop effective negotiation strategies to save his clients time and money. However, if settlement is not possible, then Joe works tirelessly to assure that the case is thoroughly prepared for trial, and he strongly protects his client’s interests in the courtroom.
