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 time 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.

Jeff represented me in a custody dispute and he was outstanding in every way. I ended up with an outcome that exceeded what I had even hoped. Always professional and great communication. Highly recommend.

Jeff Muntz represented me in a case following my divorce. It seemed to be easy at first, but since the other party kept making things difficult, it took a bigger effort to get me what I deserved. Jeff guided me through the whole process, was always very knowledgeable about my case and kept me informed. He never sent an email without giving me the opportunity to review and approve. When our court case finally went in front of the judge, he argued and won my case. This was very important and emotional to me. I can only say good things about how I was treated and the outcome was fantastic. I have a lot of respect for Jeff Muntz. He is a great and fair lawyer.

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 well. Your deserve a 6 star!! Thank you Jeff!

I have been working with Jeff on and off since 2013. He was assigned to my Divorce case and helped work out an fair settlement, always looking out for my best interests, as well as, listening to me for fairness to the other party. I then had to bring him in to a Severance case to help ensure I was being treated fairly with "sharing". Lastly, and hopefully for the Final time, I had to request his services to help settle child support upon completion of my maintenance at the same time of loss of work. He is an excellent resource, he has good relationships with the courts, and he is always sensitive to my needs. I have recommended him and the firm to friends who are looking in to hiring a lawyer for divorce. I have no problem retaining him again if I would need.

Jeff Muntz and his team provide exceptional service. I felt completely comfortable in an otherwise very foreign environment. Jeff was thorough, approachable and diligent in all of his efforts. He made sure I understood my options every step of the way and I felt assured he had all of my best interests in mind. I would recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal representation.

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 dealing with more sensitive parts of the process. I was very happy with Jeff and Goostree Law Firm in handling my divorce.

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 ultimately 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.
