A Tireless Advocate for Our Family - Jeff Muntz Fought for What Was Right I cannot say enough about Jeff and the incredible support he provided during one of the most challenging and emotionally charged situations our family has faced. For over seven years, our children had been asking for more time with their father, and Jeff made sure that their voices were finally heard. He listened to us, treated us with respect, and stepped up as our defender against a manipulative situation driven by an authoritarian who put her interests above all. Jeff not only challenged outdated and biased assumptions about parenting, but he also stood up to a manipulative environment where even a child’s therapist was a participant in the manipulation. Despite these obstacles, Jeff remained calm, focused, and determined to bring the truth to light. His unwavering dedication ultimately led to the outcome the kids had been hoping for over so many years—more time with their father. Throughout this long and stressful process, Jeff was our rock. He understood the emotional toll and complexity of the situation and always kept the children’s best interests at the forefront. His ability to navigate the legal complexities while dealing with constant pressure and difficult personalities gave us the reassurance we needed. Jeff fought tirelessly to ensure that the children were at the heart of every decision. He didn’t back down when faced with manipulation or dishonesty, and he made sure that our family's best interests were always the only thing that mattered. Our family is forever grateful to him for restoring a sense of fairness and ensuring the children’s needs were met. If you need an attorney who will not only advocate for you but also for the truth, even in the toughest circumstances, Jeff is the person you want by your side. His professionalism, kindness, and determination made all the difference in our case. Thank you, Jeff, for being a true advocate and protector for our family!
Terrible experience, completely incompetent lawyer assigned to me. Just took the money, did not explain anything on what to do or what to expect. I hired Tricia and then was farmed off to some junior assoc who had no idea how to deal with a high conflict divorce
While I don't typically like to do reviews like this, I feel it is necessary. My GAL from this law firm, felt it better to award a convicted felon custody. Why, because that individual could retain custody over the marital estate, with family help. Nevermind the fact that the same GAL, posted a OP against said individual for harassment. Or the fact that they had my ex forcefully removed by the SCPD, with my kids in tow from their office. This law firm is primarily interested with money they get up front, than actual justice. They will accept it from those with means to pay, and sacrifice integrity to do so. Just listen in to how they talk amongst colleagues in the "halls of justice." You know who you are, and still can't look me in the eye.
Tricia Goostree helped me get my life back. I was up against it and Tricia stepped in and stepped up. My ex is an elected and highly connected local lawyer. My ex pressed me at every turn and on all fronts, repeatedly suggesting that I did not need a lawyer (because I am one) and that what she proposed was fair. I went with my gut, looked for a divorce lawyer to help me, and had a couple of local firms decline the engagement because of my ex's position. Not Tricia. She was fearless and proved to be relentless in securing my rights as a father, preserving my home with the kids and assets that would have otherwise been signed away, and ensuring that both sides played by the rules. Tricia is invaluable and I cannot thank her enough.
Jeff Muntz was extremely helpful at navigating our complicated situation. He was also adept at pointing out some potential issues that could have created tremendous problems down the line. He also kept lines of communication open at all times. I highly recommend!
This is an amazing attorneys office! They are very knowledgeable and fight hard for you and your family. I had an extended case, and they worked so very hard! Tricia Goosetree is a very kind and amazing attorney. She actually cares for her clients and their family! She responed quickly and listened to my wants and needs. No BS. If you are in need of someone to fight hard for your case and family, DO NOT hesitate! Thank you, Tricia Goostree!!! You're an amazing person and lawyer! God bless you!
Very responsive and appreciate the hard work you did for me. 5 stars. Thank you
Ugly experience! Jeff Muntz was a Gardian Ad Litem(GAL) in my divorce case. Jeff Muntz was composing an Allocation Judgement for parental time... 1 year! I spent tons of hours trying to make a "document" from his poor craft but eventually I failed... as there was inserted a clear misreading with a previous 'temporary' Court order (hand-written craft by Muntz too which was not revoked) and thus 2 documents are allowed to be interpreted by counter part in a free way. It's a mess. But their billing is not less terrible! They did not send me bills but I was receiving scary late payment reminders instead... and after I was asking them for bills to send me - I paid them then. But... Jeff Muntz sent me a bunch of emails after that I owe them $500+. I replied that there is a zero balance and that their accounting and billing are terrible... Jeff Muntz told me that he will file a fee petition but did not send me any bills or reconciling papers. The pure racketeering! They are just money suckers.

Divorcing a parent full of vindictiveness is a difficult road. Through this process, Jeff Muntz treated me with respect, compassion, and honesty. I felt like he always made good judgements, gave me good counsel, and effected a very positive outcome. He is always prompt and organized. I appreciate all that he has done for me.
Tricia Goostree is amazing! She took care of my dad with his Prenup. She answered all our questions and took her time talking to us. I highly recommend her.
Even the best divorce is filled with emotion and confusion. Paulette Theodosis is your secret weapon to keeping things under control! She is experienced, compassionate, and practical. Her coaching will help you see divorce from a pragmatic view. When you have questions, she will help you understand your options and how to get to the finish line as efficiently as possible. She’s hands down your most valuable resource in a divorce.
I recently finalized my divorce and hired Anthony Giudice very early on in the process and I was sure happy that I did. Anthony made a very difficult and confusing time and process so much easier to handle and really took the time to understand my situation and come up with a plan that worked for me. Anthony was extremely responsive to all of my requests and would make sure that I fully understood my situation each step of the process. Anthony always took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I was prepared for each step of the process. All i have are good things to say about Anthony and his team!
Ms Smith was able to take care of all my concerns and help navigate the whole process of getting my matters settled.
I was represented by Alyssa Smith for my divorce and she was amazing. She was compassionate to my situation, advocated for me at every turn, and was able to clearly communicate everything that was happening. She showed unbelievable patience in working with me to get everything precisely how it needed to be. She made a time of my life that was already very difficult bearable by being responsive, communicative, and understanding. She balanced my desire to get things over quickly with making sure my needs were met and everyone was treated fairly, and she did it masterfully. I cannot say enough good things!
Edit: The firm responded to my review saying they suggested discovery. A joke! They never did! Why would I turn this down?! My new attorney merely suggested discovery and has earned me over $300 monthly a month in support. It’s sad they will respond to make themselves look good and never even filed the motion to withdraw with court. My new attorney filed substitution. If they keep on responding I will gladly give my court case # so you can search for yourself. What’s more upsetting is the firm took time to respond to this bad review vs making things right! Initial review: I had heard great things about this firm and I decided to have my parenting agreement and support case handled by them after my first choice was on maternity leave, Mollie Peskind. Jeff Muntz took my initial call and recommended I go with a Jr associate, Alyssa Smith as I had already gone through mediation and only a few items outstanding. After reading good reviews on her and promised by Jeff my case would be overseen by Sr attorneys I hired her on. Other reviews mention Alyssa is nice and responsive (agreed) but you also need to be aggressive with the opposing counsel and knowledgeable. To give details on my case I was unmarried and only needed a parenting plan support filed which again most had already been handled by mediation including financial calculations. Support calculations reflected I should obtain $400 more monthly from my current verbal arrangement with my ex. The calculations took into account the ~50 annual sleepovers (PT dad), medical credit of $200 because I carry her on my insurance etc. Alyssa went to pre trial without EVER asking for “discovery” to obtain bank statements and credit card expenses which is crucial since my ex is self employed (lawyer), makes almost double of what I make, luxury cars written off as business expense (extra income to him) and to have more of an argument for the extra support. Alyssa was recommending for me to agree to the same amount of support my ex and I had already agreed to verbally before we hired lawyers. She didn’t seem to know how to read the financials, calculations nor knowledge to have more evidence and ask for discovery. I also found myself correcting Alyssa on more than one occasion on items we had already covered. I left a message for Jeff Muntz about my case and I never received a call. Then I called Tricia and she never called me back so I sent her an email. I did obtain a response but never did they acknowledge any of the details I’m stating on here. After I decided not to continue my case with this firm I scheduled several consults with other attorneys and they all didn’t understand why at this juncture at least my parenting plan had not been filed with court as the only pending item was support. All of the attorneys stated discovery is crucial in my situation. Do your due diligence. Also pay attention to billing and understand how you will be billed because it adds up quick and I was considered an easy case. Although for most Jr associates you end up paying $250 an hour regardless if court goes only for 5 min this firm like most larger firms will charge you additional fees for the admin work. One example I was not happy about were two court appearances from Alyssa which cost me $400 each (after their hourly rate and admin fees). One they requested for a judge change on their part and another the opposing counsel called in sick. This is already overwhelming to not hire an attorney you are paying to actually get the ball rolling on your behalf. I took the liberty to write this lengthy review since I was never called by Jeff or Tricia.
I highly recommend using Goostree for any family law need. They were knowledgeable, patient and really did all they could to help. Olivia handled my recent case.
Highly recommend Goostree Law Group if you’re looking for attorneys who are professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, understanding, and who fight for their clients. Mr. Muntz was my divorce attorney and I couldn’t be happier with my experience with him. He was very compassionate to my needs as I was going through other hardships at the time of my divorce yet he fought for my rights. He was diligent, knowledgeable, responsive, personable and understanding and made me feel comfortable during a stressful time.
