Goostree Law Group

I had the privilege of working with Tricia Goostree and the Goostree Law Group on a highly complex custody case, and I can confidently say that she is one of the best family law attorneys in Illinois. Tricia and her team demonstrated exceptional legal expertise, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to protecting my parental rights. One of the most challenging aspects of my case involved jurisdictional disputes and complex custody laws across state lines. Tricia’s deep understanding of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) was instrumental in navigating these legal hurdles and ensuring that my children’s best interests remained the priority. She skillfully countered tactics designed to manipulate the system and fought hard to ensure my rights as a father were recognized. Too often, fathers face an uphill battle in custody disputes, but Tricia never backed down. She was always well-prepared, realistic, and strategic in her approach, giving me the confidence and legal support I needed to push forward. She and her team were responsive, thorough, and truly invested in the outcome of my case. If you’re a father seeking a strong advocate who truly understands family law, I highly recommend Tricia Goostree and her firm. She fights for fairness, knows the law inside and out, and delivers results when it matters most.

Tricia Goostree is awesome. I’ve been through 2 other attorneys and they were not nearly as diligent as her. She knows what she’s doing. The only mistake was not having her through my entire divorce process. She’s helping in the aftermath of a 3 year divorce. I do not think the other attorney’s believed what I told them about my ex husband but as time passed, he showed his true colors. Now everything I should have received in the divorce proceedings such as sole custody has finally happened. She’s helping change things in the divorce decree that never should have been there. I trust her and her expertise in the law.

In my opinion, my recent journey with Goostree Law Group, P.C., stands in sharp contrast to the praise I once gave them—see the attached image of my own 5-star review from six years ago. Back then, I believed in their support, but now, I feel that the firm has taken a disappointing turn. It seems to me they reassigned my attorney mid-case without my input, and I felt that the new lawyer, Marcee Duvall, showed little care about my son’s alienation, which pained me as a father. This shift left me uneasy about their commitment. Moreover, it appears to me their fee practices were overly harsh. I felt pressured when they repeatedly threatened to abandon my case over payment delays, which, to me, felt unjust given my financial struggles. This, in my view, soured our relationship, and I believe their February 2025 withdrawal worsened my legal standing. The communication, to my mind, was lacking, and the service quality dipped, especially once they knew I was stretched thin. I once recommended them highly, but now, I think hiring them today isn’t worth the turmoil. It seems to me others should beware to avoid my heartache. This is my personal take, shared to guide others.

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.

I am incredibly grateful for the legal support I received from Jeff Muntz during my divorce. From our very first consultation, it was clear that he not only has a deep understanding of family law but also genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients. Throughout the process, Jeff was always patient and clear in explaining my options and strategic in handling every step of the case. His paralegal, Pam Meech, also went above and beyond to help finalize my case, with frequent updates and moral support. I am so grateful for the outcome, and I know that it wouldn't have been possible without Jeff's expertise and dedication. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal guidance during what can be a very challenging time. Thank you again for everything!
