I used Jeff Muntz at Goosetree Law for some post decree matters. Unfortunately post decree can be just as if not more stressful than an initial divorce. My prior attorney had retired and he recommended Jeff, and I’m so glad he did. Jeff was always calm, collected, reasonable, and gave me sound advice. There were many times where the opposing council in my case was irrational, unreasonable, and neglecting basic duties as an attorney, so I appreciated that Jeff was not afraid to fight back and always stood up for my rights. At times I felt like I had a friend fighting for me, and not just a paid attorney. I would highly recommend his services if you are in the unfortunate position of needing them.

Jeff Muntz was incredible in guiding me through a very complicated divorce. From the beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and always made sure I understood my options. What could have been an overwhelming process felt much more manageable with his guidance. Jeff handled every step with professionalism and care, and I always felt like he truly had my best interests in mind. I’m very grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone needing a strong and trustworthy divorce attorney.

Jeff represented me in a relocation matter during a very challenging time, and I could not have asked for better counsel. He is exceptionally professional, prompt, and precise — yet also genuinely caring and sincere. What stood out most to me was his integrity and commitment to fairness. He advocates strongly while ensuring that every party is treated respectfully and appropriately. Throughout the process, Jeff and his staff were kind, responsive, and highly organized. Their efficiency and accuracy made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel steady and manageable. I am truly grateful for his guidance and representation. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Tricia Goostree is a wonderful lawyer. Her understanding of the legal process helped me through this emotional time. The entire Goostree office team provided such professionalism. It is difficult to go through this process but I knew Tricia had my back and she helped me close that chapter.

I enjoyed working with Tricia during my divorce. She was available in a timely manner and respectful of my views and opinion. She helped me understand a complicated process. Thanks again to Tricia and the team she works with:)

Jeff Muntz was steady, practical, and clear throughout my case. He took the time to explain options and consequences without overcomplicating things, which I appreciated. I valued his focus on resolving issues efficiently and keeping matters proportional. Communication was timely, and I always understood where things stood. I would recommend Jeff to anyone looking for thoughtful and straightforward family law representation.

Jeff Muntz has been my attorney since late 2022. He successfully helped bring a very contentious parenting time dispute to a conclusion and is currently representing me in another highly contested custody matter. I have personally seen Jeff litigate in court. He is strategic, composed, and extremely effective. Jeff and the entire team at Goostree Law Group are nothing but professional, responsive, and thorough. I would highly recommend Jeff Muntz and the Goostree team to anyone seeking strong, capable support through a complex family law matter.

Jeff Muntz from Goostree Law was an absolute Godsend in my difficult divorce! From our very first consultation, I knew I could trust Jeff to represent me and that he cared about my case. He was thorough in explaining the legal process, his strategy, and also managing my expectations. He was supportive, attentive and responsive via email and scheduled calls, and always put my worries at ease. I am so grateful for his guidance during a very difficult and stressful time. Jeff was exactly the person I needed to represent me and was able to get my case to settle (in my favor) before going to court. I can't thank Jeff’s legal expertise enough for the positive outcome as he fought hard for me and my children. I highly recommend Jeff and the Goostree Law Group!

Absolute pro- Highly recommend- Very trustworthy I can’t say enough great things about Jeff Muntz. He’s an outstanding attorney, and just a wonderful person. He understands how difficult this process is and does a great job of making you feel like he has your back every step of the way. He communicates quickly and is very clear with options and helps you decide on the correct course of action. If he couldn’t call right away he would text me with an update or recommendation. He also thinks outside of the box and his goal the whole time was to get me to the settlement. I switched lawyers after I realized the first law firm I hired was more concerned about billable hours, than helping me protect my kids. My divorce was very complicated, and he helped me get to the finish line without having to go to court. He did a great job recommending a GAL who also had my kid’s best intentions in mind. He’s a lawyer who has a family of his own, and cares about kids and understands.

Tricia was fantastic to work with. She was extremely responsive, efficient and made the process smooth and stress-free. Everything was handled quickly and thoroughly. I highly recommend her.

My husband has used this firm for several years. Robin was amazing, and after she left, he worked with Alyssa, who was also great but is no longer there. He decided to return to this firm for another unfortunate family court matter and was assigned to Alex. Alex was quiet and a bit of a pushover in court, but my husband stayed with him and just received notice that Alex is no longer with the firm. Understandable, things happen. The reason for this review is the poor communication this time around with the attorney, and most notably, the extremely rude interaction he had with the receptionist, Tammy. She spoke to him condescendingly after he explained that he hadn’t received certain emails they claimed were sent. Mistakes happen — whether clerical or technical — but instead of handling it professionally, she argued with him, insisting he had received them. How can someone confidently say that when the client is actively checking and cannot find them? This situation could have been handled with far more professionalism and courtesy. Unfortunately, based on this experience, he will not be using this firm again. From what I understand, Tricia is the lead attorney, and it appears the firm’s quality and professionalism have declined significantly.

In the twilight of my life and quite out of the blue my wife decided she wanted a divorce. I was stunned and confused. I thought I knew something about the law and how a divorce litigation would likely progress. Turns out, I didn't. Due to opposing counsel, my divorce became contentious and extremely complex almost from the start. Luckily I had retained the GLG to represent me. Tricia and Marcee are extremely knowledgeable, professional and compassionate lawyers, not to mention being outstanding people. They truly are what all lawyers should be. Honest, ethical, caring, and most of all skillful. They guided me through and assisted me with one of the most difficult endeavors I have ever experienced. You can find many other lawyers to represent you in your divorce proceeding. If you want the very best law office, with the very best lawyers in the Midwest to represent you in your divorce proceedings, GLG is it. Period. 5 star all the way.

I had the great pleasure of working with Tricia and Christine on my court petition in Kane County. As I live out-of-state, the entire process was worked remotely. My interactions were effective, efficient, knowledgeable, and delivered with a great deal of care, concern, timeliness, and experience. I could not recommend a better team for family law representation than the Goostree Law Group and better personal service than I received from Tricia and Christine. Thanks so much for all you've done!

Took time to answer all my questions and made sure I understood the process. Looking forward to working with this team in the very near future.

When I started looking for family law offices in the area, Goostree came as one of the top family law firms in Kane County. The first meeting with Alex and Tricia was memorable. Tricia laid everything out about possibilities and expectations. 2 things stuck with me was: 1)they cared, and 2)they do not believe in false hope, they are straightforward regardless of how hard it may be to hear. They wanted the best outcome, not just for me, but also for my child. Alex is outstanding! He made me feel comfortable from day 1. He was very attentive and very professional, even when things got heated. Alex demonstrated that his care for law and care for his client are top priorities. He ensured transparency and “to the point” with me. Overall, I recommend Alex from Goostree Law. The professionalism and quality of work is superb. The firm’s values of integrity, commitment, and transparency are shown through his work. If the unfortunate circumstance comes up again that I need family law, Alex will be my first choice.

I took the advice of someone I didn't know well (another attorney) but thought I knew well enough and could at least trust, and I chose to hire this firm (Sara Busche) to represent me in a post-divorce matter, a matter which was/is of the utmost critical importance not only to me and my own well-being (financially, physically, emotionally, mentally ...) but also to the well-being of my children and in particular my daughter, who is still a student. They had my case for 4 months. In that short time, they charged me almost $15K while doing nothing to advance the case. The whole reason I hired them in the first place was because my ex-husband had threatened to discontinue all spousal support (Maintenance) of his own volition, without any court order allowing him to do so. He then stopped ALL court-ordered payments, and while I had no income, this firm demanded payment of my bill IN FULL within one week or they would withdraw from my case. Which they then did, because without any income (the exact reason I hired them to begin with) and no savings after a long, drawn-out divorce a few years prior, it was not possible for me to pay the bill in full. They not only withdrew from the case but also threatened to pursue legal action against me to collect the remaining balance if not immediately paid. All this while they were hired to represent me in the case to pursue collection of $$$$ from my ex-husband. Not only did they do nothing to advance the case closer to a resolution, they actually made the case (and my own financial situation) so much worse. Incomparably worse. Significantly worse. But that didn't seem to bother them. I had serious doubts about them and their willingness and ability to work on my case, to advance it, and most importantly to be a true legal advocate for me during the entire process, even as we were working together. However, I also knew it would make things significantly harder to fire them at whim and re-hire another, so I plugged along, always giving them the benefit of the doubt, even while my attorney was so often unreachable ("out of the office") for a week at a time, several times a month, during which time the case would sit untouched. If I had read a review like this or if anyone had shared these experiences (or anything remotely similar) with me before I chose to hire Sara and this firm, I would've never considered hiring them in the first place. At the very very least, it would've caused me to pause very long and very hard before making my decision. Unfortunately, I had to learn the hardest way .... through my own personal experience. Hopefully mine will help someone else though ... because I don't want anyone else to experience even close to what I have with this firm. When someone hires an attorney, it's typically because they need a good legal advocate. They need someone to go out there and fight harder for them than anyone else. That's what I thought I was going to get when I paid them their retainer. Unfortunately, that's not what I got. At all. Not even close. Not even in the ballpark. They not only chose to suddenly withdraw from the case, after not advancing it and still charging almost $15K, but they lied to me (I have the email) about the reason for withdrawing, stating it was due to my attorney leaving the firm and "the firm's inability to continue with my case due to an already heavy case load." And, they also had NO qualms about threatening to sue me over the amount due, when literally the entire reason I hired them to begin with was that I had no income because of my ex's refusal to pay each month what he was court-ordered to pay. This should help you to understand the type of firm they are and what's most important to them ... certainly not their clients or their cases or wanting to be the best legal representation out there. I sincerely regret hiring them, and I'm posting this review in the hopes that YOU will think long and hard before ever considering hiring them to legally represent and fight for YOU.

Jeff M. was great! Always communicated to me quickly and explained level of detail that was understandable. He took the time to be sure I understood pros/cons of my decisions and advised me the best position to take. He was very knowledgeable in the law and always had the ability to calm my nerves during my divorce. Thank you Jeff! for the hard work and dedication you spent on my case! Louis L.

Use another firm

Tricia & her team are kind & absolutely amazing! 😊 Everyone, especially Tricia was very understanding of my situation & went above & beyond to help me. I am beyond thankful for everything & highly recommend Goostree Law Group.

If I could give a higher rating, I would. Tricia worked nothing short of miracles in my divorce. After having hired a different attorney when my divorce first started that was suggested by a friend in a matter of 2 and a half years nothing was accomplished other than a complete loss of financial stability for me and my family and literally nothing was accomplished. After speaking to a few different attorneys before retaining Tricia and Goostree law I was told my divorce had been grossly miss handled and that it would take excess of 20K for them to unravel the mess. Tricia made no false promises and defiantly undersold herself. In a matter of about 3 months the custody portion of my divorce was signed and about 2 months later the financial portion was done as well. Mind you this was done this fast while combating courts holiday schedules as well as almost 3 years of matters being mishandled by prior counsel. I would give a 100-star review if I could. Even if Tricia wasn't a tiny lady, she would still be worth her weight in gold. I cannot recommend her and her firm enough.
