Shaw, Matthew G - Shaw Jacobs & Assoc

Tricia Goostree is one of the best divorce attorneys out there practicing today. I had the worst divorce a person could ever ask for and in fact, not only did mine go to trial (not by my choice), it was appealed (again not by my choice). Not many divorces go to trial and certainly not many of them are appealed. I unfortunately was one of the “unlucky ones” but having Tricia and her firm handle the trial and the appeal was the smartest move I ever made. She’s tough, she’s funny but yet she provides a “calming” effect because of her competence and quickness to respond to keep you positioned well throughout the entire divorce. Divorce is personally one of the most difficult situations to go through in your life so having an attorney who knows the law and understands the optimal path of navigation will clearly be an advantage for you. I can make these statements with confidence and accuracy because we literally just finished an appeal and we prevailed on every single issue. It was all about the strategic path she chose from trial through the appeal that created the very positive end result. You want Tricia on your team so make sure you ask for her before your soon to be ex-spouse does! Trust me, you don’t want her against you, you want her as your attorney. more

I wanted to take a few moments to say how pleased I am with the service and professionlism I received from my divorce attorney Tricia Goosetree. I was referred to her by a friend, and on day one, she told me what will happen. And sure enough, that is what happened. As frustrating it is of a process, Tricia guided me throughout. I kept her informed at all times, even though I knew some of that stuff she was hearing would not have mattered in the end. She knew what my goal was at all times and focused in on that goal all the way till the end. For me, the end result happened to be better than what i had expected. I would definetely recommend Tricia Goosetree to anyone who may need her services, and she knows that she can use me as a reference any time. Tricia Goosetree is a complete professional. Thank you! more

Had a very positive experience with Shaw, Jacobs & Assoc. Steve Jacobs was very patient in explaining everything to me - When things got intense, he always helped me put things in perspective and exuded confidence in his approach, which put me very much at ease. Very efficient, in fact he was usually the one waiting for me to get back to him! I did not alway do what he suggested because of my interest of settling peacefully even if it meant financial sacrifices, but he always respected my decision. I had no doubt, however, that had I let him loose, me ex would not be a very happy camper. :) The staff are extremely friendly , professional, and efficient as well. The price was well worth my freedom. more

I am so fortunate to have Shaw Jacobs as my attorney for my child support case. They are proactive, professional, courteous, and I never get the run-a-round. They always return messages promptly and keep me in the loop every step of the way. They never treat me like a number, nor do they give off the ""it's just about billable hours"" attitude. They have done wonders in helping me collect child support for my children and I refer them to anyone I know as the best firm around. more

I know several of the attorneys at Shaw, Jacobs & Associates. They have years of combined family law experience and are one of the best firms in Kane Co. Obviously they want to be paid for their services - that doesn't mean that they don't care or are ""money grubbers."" They provide a service to their clients, and no one expects to go to the grocery store and take groceries out without paying...Shaw, Jacobs does lots of pro bono work in the legal community and the reputations of their attorneys are great. My family members have used their firm over the years for various family law matters, with great results that yes, had to be paid for...remember when reading these reviews that divorce is a very difficult time for all involved, and not everyone gets exactly the result they want. I would recommend Shaw, Jacobs to anyone. more

I would like to say a few words about my divorce attorney, Tricia Goostree. I received excellent results from all of her hard work and dedication to my case. She was very attentive to my needs and was a great listener. She was super responsive whenever I needed her and fought hard for me and my children. I met with several attorneys before I chose Tricia and her kindness and sensitivity along with her dedication are a winning combination. I would also like to mention that I compared attorney rates in the area and I can tell you that she was very reasonable. Choosing the right attorney is a big deal and I could not be happier! more

Sometimes my reluctance to cooperate caused delays in my case - Tricia and her associates were always patient and understanding. It is important to realize that every case is different, and I have referred many friends and family members to Shaw, Jacobs as they have my full confidence and gratitude. Pros: Caring, courteous and professional Cons: None for me more
