Very happy client!

I had had a previous lawyer that wasn't familiar with the Racine area, and quickly discovered that I needed a lawyer who was. I looked around and from reading the reviews on this site decided to hire Philip. I really enjoyed working with Phil. He's a young guy, energetic, sharp and has a competit...ive streak in him. Phil's initial proposal for financial settlement was more aggressive than I was comfortable with. But that is what I hired him for, to get me the best terms possible! I personally decided to go with a more generous offer, which Phil worked with (after making sure I was absolutely sure!).

Superb lawyer

From the first meeting to end of my case. He was very knowledgable, and caring for me as a client. He followed through on everything for the case. Took his time and explained everything that was going on. And has been a continued help even after the case was complete with any questions I have had. I ...highly recommend Mr. Trampe as to me he's a super lawyer. Thank you Mr. Trampe

Extremely happy with Attorney Trampe and his staff

I went through a difficult placement schedule battle with my ex-wife. Although we have joint custody, because we split before my son was born - primary placement for the first couple years of his life was given to his mother, with the intent that we would be able to increase time on our own with me, ...his father, and make it more equitable as he grew older. Unfortunately, that never happened - and evently I decided that I would need to go back to the courts to ask for more time. I hired Attorney Trampe, and he immediately recognized that the issues between me and ex-wife were basically personality difference but that there was no other reason placement shouldn't be set to be as equal as possible. Attorney Trampe and his staff were incredibly responsive, were willing encourage me to keep fighting, and when things got difficult for with ex-wife and her lawyer - he fought for me hard. Even when I was at emotionally drained and feeling like I should throw in the towel - he motivated me, told me I was in the right and more importantly - he was always right about what would happen in court. And in the end the courts sided with my position and I feel incredibly vindicated and I know I wouldn't have got to where I am without Attorney Trampe and his staff. I will say that in hiring Attorney Trampe, I was also looking for affordability. And in the end I think he was very affordability and I think I got a high quality product for an extremely reasonable price. I can't thank him enough.

Amazing Attorney I Highly Recommend!

Attorney Trampe didn't take no for an answer when it came to getting my child back from her father. Authorities wouldn't even help in the situation so Trampe did everything necessary in just two days to get her back to me. He kept me informed the entire time, even if that meant calling or emailing me... multiple times per day. Without a doubt, he is definitely a lawyer who knows what he's doing and actually cares about helping his clients.

Brillant lawyer!!! Kept custody of my daughter 50/50, showed care and helpfulness. Very good assistant Sharon.

Advised my very well in custody and financial issues. Represented me brilliantly during my first divorce hearing for temporary orders. Fought hard and won with custody, vehicles, child support and bank accounts. Stopped my ex's false accusations from swaying the court commissioner. I feel very c...onfident to have Phil as my lawyer for the rest of my divorce.
