Great Family Attorney

Jeff was a great attorney. I had a very odd child custody agreement from out of state. He brought it into the state and did an amazing job representing me. I didn't always understand what was going on but Jeff made sure I was given a fair amount of time. Jeff put some points in my allocation at the t...ime didn't seem like a big deal, but now over a year later I can use those points he put in to keep everything fair and everyone accountable. Jeff understood what my family wanted and needed and did a very good job on getting us those wants and needs. I am very grateful for all the work Jeff did. My case could have been very different without him.

A Great Attorney

Jeff was an amazingly thorough attorney in helping me fight a very difficult family/divorce case. He reminded me of a bulldog in the way he took on the opposing party and won. I would highly recommend Jeffrey Muntz to represent you if you are looking for someone who listens well and then defends w...ell. Your deserve a 6 star!! Thank you Jeff!

Very knowledgeable lawyer!

Jeff handled my divorce and I was very happy with the outcome. He was very knowledgeable about the divorce laws and my rights. I had many questions and requests throughout the process and he took the time to address each and every one of them. His approach was to the point yet kind when we were deali...ng with more sensitive parts of the process. I was very happy with Jeff and Goostree Law Firm in handling my divorce.

Excellent Lawyer!

Jeff Muntz helped me through my divorce. He has his clients' best interests in mind and goes above and beyond to help them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer.

Best Choice for DuPage & Kane

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.
