Tricia D. Goostree’s legal career began with a clear sense of purpose. Her interest in becoming an attorney started when she was only ten years old, and her undergraduate experience at Eastern Illinois University helped turn that early goal into a calling. As a member of the university’s mock trial team, she discovered a natural fit for courtroom advocacy. She went on to attend the John Marshall Law School on a Dean’s Scholarship, where she won the Dean Fred F. Herzog Moot Court Competition, received a Moot Court Executive Board scholarship, and strengthened her advocacy skills through regional and interstate moot court competitions. Her early legal work included an internship with the Illinois Attorney General’s Office in the consumer fraud division and a Supreme Court Rule 711 clerkship with the Chicago Legal Clinic, where she assisted with divorce cases, Orders of Protection, child support enforcement, and appearances in Cook County’s Domestic Relations division.
Since 2002, Tricia has concentrated exclusively on family law and domestic relations, representing clients in matters involving complex financial issues, maintenance, contested custody disputes, and appeals across Cook, Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and DeKalb counties. As founder and managing partner of Goostree Law Group, P.C. in St. Charles, Illinois, she is respected for her courtroom ability, careful preparation, and compassionate approach to clients facing deeply personal legal challenges. Tricia has also served the community through Prairie State Legal Services, the Northern Illinois Food Bank, pro bono work, and leadership roles with the Kane County Bar Association & Foundation. Her accomplishments include recognition as an Illinois Super Lawyer, Illinois Leading Lawyer, and Best Lawyer. Outside of her practice, she enjoys baseball, competitive bodybuilding, and traveling with her husband.

Amazing ethical and empathetic lawyer
I utilized Tricia's services for recalculating child support with my ex-wife. Tricia is very professional, strong knowledge of case law, and provided cost effective ways for my ex-wife and I to get the details pre-agreed upon without my wife's lawyer or Tricia. This was nice to see since it showed sh...

Truly Exceptional!
When unexpectedly faced with a divorce, I felt overwhelmed and terrified. Fortunately Tricia, along with her entire team, provided me with outstanding legal counsel and emotional support.

Very happy
Tricia Goostree was my attorney for my divorce and some issues with my ex-husband after my divorce was final. Although I did not have a very difficult case, she was always willing to help and answered all of my questions quickly. She was mindful of my financial situation and did her best to keep co...
"I endorse this lawyer. Tricia is very experienced and knowledgeable. She knows her cases well, and focuses on trying to find reasonable and amicable solutions to issues in the cases. She does good work!"
"Tricia is a dedicated and devoted attorney who is always willing to go the extra mile for her clients! I endorse her!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I have been on the other side of Tricia many times. I have always been impressed with how she handles a case because she advocates strongly when she feels she is right, but she does not fight about trivial things to run a client's bill up, as many divorce lawyers seem to do. If you meet with her, it will be obvious to you that she is intelligent and confident in her abilities. In my experience, she has always come to court prepared and has vigorously argued for her clients."
