Dustin Mueller

Dustin Mueller knew at a very young age that he wanted to become a lawyer. Growing up, he had heard stories from his father, a personal injury lawyer, about the people he helped in his profession. Like his father, Dustin realized that he wanted to represent people instead of giant insurance carriers. He decided to specialize in Plaintiff’s work, handling primarily workers’ compensation and personal injury cases. Throughout his career, Dustin has represented thousands of injured individuals, fighting insurance carriers to obtain the compensation his clients deserve. Dustin is from a small town about 60 miles outside of Chicago but made Des Moines home when he attended Drake University Law School. A country boy at heart, Dustin loves that you can travel 20 minutes in any direction from Des Moines and be in the “middle of nowhere.” When he’s not working, Dustin is either spending time with his family or out in the woods. As an avid archery hunter, he’s always excited to travel around the world to find his next quest. A couple of his favorite destinations include British Columbia for black bear and Africa for plains game. Court Admissions:
