Gary S Mueller & Associates

On behalf of the team at Gary S. Mueller & Associates, Ltd. and Three Rivers Title Company, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you. We are pleased to present our newly revised website, and we hope you find it both informative and useful. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us at gsm@muellaw.com.

I am Gary S. Mueller, the owner of both entities. I have been practicing law since 1990, and I have extensive experience in various areas of the legal field. I started my career as a judicial clerk for Justice Daniel P. Ward of the Illinois Supreme Court, and I have since worked at several law firms before opening my own firm in 2005. I specialize in transactional work, including real estate, estate planning, trusts, corporate formation, general counsel work for corporations, township representation, small claims defense and complainant's matters, and traffic matters. I also serve as a referral source for workers' compensation, personal injury, divorce, social security, and bankruptcy matters.

Three Rivers Title was established in late 2005, during a time when some title companies were facing difficulty. Underwritten by First American Title, Three Rivers Title has grown into a professional and multi-service company that provides fast, efficient, and quality service at competitive rates. Our goal is to provide our clients with the best possible service, and we take pride in being a reliable and trustworthy partner in the real estate world. We operate out of two locations, one in Joliet and one in Morris, and we employ two full-time real estate closers/managers.
