Highly recommended!!

When I need quick child placement changes I had contacted a few attorneys to see what I could do. Attorney Trampe was on it and the only attorney that believed emergency orders needed to be filed. I’m so happy I went with him, orders were changed within hours of talking with him and a court date set... not even a week later. If I went with any others, I believe I still would be fighting this. Because of attorney Trampes work, my daughter is now safe and happy, and it was all said and done in less than a month.

If you need a family attorney, hire Philip Trampe.

I hired Philip to handle some issues pertaining to non-compliance by my ex-wife in regards to our divorce agreement. Philip was very professional and efficient in representing me. He was also extremely effective. He responded quickly to all of my calls and emails. He was honest about what I could ...expect in regards to outcome, and he delivered. I highly recommend contacting Philip if you are in need of a family attorney. He will represent you with high levels of competence, professionalism, and compassion.

Honest and ethical attorney

My friend who was going through a very difficult child custody case referred me to Attorney Trampe when I was ready to file for divorce in my second marriage that was toxic and abusive. Phil not only saved me alot of money in the property division area of the divorce where he caught a major error... on my ex's assets presented, he also logically helped me figureout placement of my daughter with contingencies in place in case there are problems in the future. He presented to me areas that were worth a fight and areas that were not, for the attorney costs it with accrue. Phil is also an ethical and kind attorney who after my friend had gone through 3 years of hell with the father of a child not acting in the best interest of her child, finally got her sole custody of her child. He also took her case back on with no retainer as she could not afford it.... Such a good person.

Trusted Advisor

Promptly understood my case, circumstance, request, and most importantly understood the law to advocate for my family's best interest and well being. Respectfully worked well with court commissioner, representatives and from a position of strong knowledge and experience, reasonably negotiated with op...posing counsel. Promptly answered questions throughout the duration of the case. Acted with integrity. Courtrooms and preparations prior to/after hearings can be stressful and potentially intimidating. With Phil's representation, there was confidence that the matter would be settled professionally and correctly - regardless of any stressful "unknowns" that naturally manifest during the course of a case - especially in a courthouse setting.

Beyond Grateful

I was fortunate to have Phil represent me for approximately eight months through incredibly difficult family court proceedings involving my young child. From our initial meeting I felt at ease and in good hands; he was well-versed in the law, experienced, honest, confident without being arrogant and ...personable. Throughout the many tribulations in my case Phil was thorough, compassionate and always took the time to listen, answer my many questions and reply in a timely manner to issues that arose with my ex. His fees are fair and he is diligent in keeping things as cost effective as possible. At each court date he was well prepared, professional, knew the ins and outs of my case and truly fought for what was best in our situation. Not only did Phil represent my child’s interests in placement and child support, he also successfully petitioned the court for a no contact order between her and a family member who put her well-being at risk. This was an answer to my prayers and an incredible relief! I will be forever grateful to Phil for helping me get through what was easily the most stressful and horrible period of my life; hiring a dedicated and highly qualified lawyer such as Phil was the best decision I made and I give no hesitation in highly recommending him for your legal needs. Thank you so much for everything, Phil!
