Chip Mues and his paralegal Cathy were knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate during a very difficult time in my life. I contacted Chip for a consultation at the end of 2021 and employed his services several months later. His initial evaluation of my situation proved correct and I appreciated the counsel and options I was given to help protect myself and my child. I would highly recommend Chip and his team if you are in need of any legal needs involving divorce!

I cannot say enough positive regarding Mr. Mues!! He fought for my daughter and grandson in her divorce!! He went above and beyond when opposing counsel was stonewalling him with responses!! We needed specific language in the decree that would preserve the rights of my daughter regarding her son when he turns 18, and Mr. Mues kept fighting to get that specific language added - It WAS included!! To say I am pleased with the services provided is an understatement!!

I needed some legal advice regarding a post-decree issue with my ex. Mr. Mues met with me for a consultation and outlined several options for me to take to get my ex to comply with the decree. I appreciated that he provided practical, knowledgeable advice that did not necessarily require more legal fees. I took his advice and got the outcome I desired. I recommend Mr. Mues to anyone with family law issues. If I ever have to use a family attorney again, I know who I will call!

I had a wonderful experience working with Attorney Joe Balmer recently! He helped me modify my estate planning documents. We had a conference call to discuss my current documents and what changes I would like to make. He gave me some great recommendations based on his experience too. Then he crafted the documents with a very quick turnaround time. We met in person to review and sign them. He did a great job explaining them to me and he made the entire process very easy and fast! His assistants were also very responsive and helpful! The final cost was very attractive and totally worth it! It was a big relief knowing those documents were effective immediately!

“Chip” Mues was my attorney in my CPO case and I would highly recommend him, without hesitation. He was compassionate and empathetic throughout the entire process, and actually took the time to sit and listen to my concerns. With his knowledge and work experience, we were able to come to an agreement that made me feel safe and protected.

Chip Mues was my attorney for a very high conflict divorce case. I would definitely recommend him for any divorce case. He listens, is empathetic, and very perceptive. He is skilled and has lots of experience as a lawyer, but he also provided useful recommendations for other services (counseling, support groups, experts when needed). His rates were more expensive than others lawyers I met, but they are well worth it. Even though my case was tough, Chip kept working towards settlement. We attempted mediation, and many other strategies. Chip worked with opposing counsel and the judge and my case was finally settled without any litigation which saved me additional money, time, and allowed for closure.

Chip Mues is an incredible attorney and I urge anyone who NEEDS great representation to meet with him. He has extensive legal expertise and it's obvious that he genuinely cares about his clients.

My custody case was very complicated and high conflict. My ex has always been legally aggressive and was represented by a good attorney - which was terrifying. Chip became my anchor. He was always supportive and strategic and has a nice way of to creating calm in the chaos.

Chip fought hard for my case for two and a half years. Over that time he: educated me, always made himself available when I needed him, was empathetic and wise, provided top notch communication to myself and the courts (which was priceless, not everyone does this), was usually 5 steps ahead, was a great advocate during hearings, and went above and beyond in a thousand ways.

Ultimately, we were granted everything we asked for.

Thank you Chip and Cathy for being amazing! I couldn't have hoped for any more from this process.

This firm has my highest recommendation.

Thank you endlessly!

For some context, I was married almost 20 years. My separation came out of the blue. I found out my ex was living a secret life for several years. Needless to say, I was shocked and had several other difficult emotions after the abrupt ending. I quickly sought legal advice and the firm Holzfaster, Cecil, McKnight & Mues, LPA was recommended to me. When I first met with Robert "Chip" Mues, I was not in the best place emotionally and I had significant anxiety after the separation. What I appreciated the most is he listened to me and was empathic as I told my story. He then provided straightforward legal counsel and addressed each of my concerns and what I might expect, and the exposures I may have in the divorce proceedings. I knew then I was in the right place.

My case was a bit complicated and Chip had to navigate several obstacles; his astute legal expertise was apparent. His years of experience in the Dayton area were also key assets that I believe significantly helped in the process and outcome.

Chip and his team kept me informed every step of the way and were responsive to my requests for information/questions. They completed things efficiently and timely. This was very helpful to alleviate much of my anxiety.

Chip came through for me and my divorce was finalized very favorably. No way around it, divorce is hard, but Chip and his team helped make it more manageable. He balanced the legal aspects and maintained focus on tasks that needed to be done, but recognized and was never dismissive of the emotional process that comes along in the process of divorce. I would highly, highly recommend Chip and his team if you find yourself in the difficult position of divorce.

I also worked with Joseph Balmer, III for estate planning. This was also a very positive experience. He made it simple and he answered all of my many questions. Another high recommendation.

Holzfaster, Cecil, McKnight & Mues. LPA were recommended to me when my husband died in 1991. I had the best attorney in the State of Ohio help me put together my will. He even had a special document so when I die, my children would inherit my condo. This alone saves time and money for my children. Any chance I get I recommend Holzfaster, Cecil, McKnight & Mues. LPA. They are the best.

The firm of Holzfaster, Cecil, McKnight & Mues has faithfully and exclusively served our company since we were incorporated in March, 1948. This lasting relationship has endured due to their dedication and diligence in dealing with our legal affairs and company matters. We highly recommend this team of professionals.
