Jeffrey Daniel Muntz

After leaving a physically abusive relationship, I attempted to negotiate parenting issues amicably; however, it was short lived. My initial interviews with family law attorneys consisted of both male and females, small to large firms, cheap to expensive counsel, and a couple recommendations. I ultim...ately chose Goostree Law Group based on their professionalism, cost-effective guidance, and willingness to listen. I have been extremely pleased with Jeffrey D. Muntz’s support and guidance. I professionally retained Mr. Muntz in late 2014 and he helped me secure many rights as a father. I now have major decision making authority over healthcare and mental health, first right to schedule and attend routine medical appointments, daily communication with my son, among many more. Understanding we all need work-life balance, Mr. Muntz has eased many emotional situations with simple communication emails on nights and weekends, although this has not been an expectation. But let’s get down to where rubber meets the road for most reviewers… Jeff doesn’t schedule unnecessary meetings, phone calls, or other reasons to simply charge clients more billable hours. Contrarily, Jeff and Goostree Law Group have worked with me on outstanding monthly balances through the years. Furthermore, Jeff professionally advocates on my behalf and is thoughtful, putting my son’s best interest first. For example, when I have wanted to escalate various issues, Jeff has provided legal counsel and ways to navigate the “system” to help us achieve desired outcomes. My ex-girlfriend and family have tried to financially bully me into litigation, but Jeff’s keen understanding of the law has aided in justification of submitting petitions at the “right” time. While Jeff and Goostree Law Group cannot change family law, they sure in hell can help you get the appropriate outcomes you need.

I have worked with Jeff Muntz for over four years in the post-decree matter of my former marriage. While having to file numerous petitions and motions, and he took the lead the whole time and knew exactly what to do and what would be most effective. He was very professional and proactive in communi...cations with me and explained strategy so that I could get the best possible outcome given my situation. He is very familiar with the Illinois family court system and his experience as a former Assistant State’s Attorney and current Guardian at Litem proved valuable in his recommendations each step of the way and being able to properly advocate for me with opposing counsel(s) and most importantly our Judge. As with any litigation, it was not a short process, but I am thankful as a father to have had Jeff by my side when I was awarded custody of my son. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone looking for great representation.

Mr. Jeff Muntz is an outstanding attorney. When your life has been incomprehensibly and irreversibly altered or even destroyed, you will need to rely on an ally that can keep a cool head….sometimes to help you curb your short term impulses, sometimes reorienting them, and your money, towards a better... outcome. Because when the fog clears.......it will matter, just who you picked to represent you and your family. I have dealt with the legal system most of my life, I'm no rookie. I've gone through quite a few attorneys, Jeff is different. He can operate in short-term and long-term modes seamlessly. He is remarkably cool, calm, and sharp. His knowledge and application of the law is at the cutting edge. I recommend him highly. You will need this one to get you through the absurd and challenging family law system in Illinois

First, and foremost, I want to thank you, Jeff Muntz, and your staff, for helping me through the most difficult time of my life. Hearing that this is finally over is something I have thought about and wished for every single day for the past 1.5 years. I feel like divorce has taken years off my lif...e due to stress I still can't comprehend. I just want a simple and normal life, and to focus on being a father and my job. Thank you for all that you did - particularly your professionalism, honesty, integrity, legal expertise, for being direct with me, and for being supportive. Divorce is an unfortunate part of life, but I would recommend anyone and everyone I know who may go through this to contact you.
