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.

Wonderful Attorney

Attorney Trampe took over my case after the previous Attorney I had failed to do his job right. Attorney Trampe came in and got my divorce done to my liking and in a quick manner. He understood the financial burden on me with this case and got it done in the most cost effective way for me. I highly r...ecommend Attorney Trampe to anyone involved in a divorce. I have already recommended him to other people. You will not regret hiring Attorney Trampe.

A lawyer to trust

I have been back and forth to family court for five years now with a few attorneys that for various reasons had me going back pro-se over and over again. Then, I met Mr. Trampe. Not in all the years in court have I ever met an attorney that actually had mine and my kids' best interest at heart. He wa...s caring in a way that most people want to believe all lawyers are. This last time back at court with him, would have left me with emotional scars that would have taken a long time to heal had it not been for Philip Trampe. He gave me hope when I thought there was none. I had tried to fight this case on my own and was torn apart by my ex's lawyer and knew I was going to have to get a lawyer this time around if there was going to be any hope of me getting the assistance I needed. I don't think there are enough words in the english language for me to be able to express my gratitude for all he did for us. I can guarantee that if anyone should ever ask me for a good attorney, I will direct them to Philip Trampe and tell them that he IS one of the good ones. I can honestly tell you that a few months ago when I walked into court with him for the first time with this last case, I had almost lost my faith in the justice system. Philip Trampe restored that faith and I know that if ever I need to be back in court... I know I have someone to call on that will make sure I have a fighting chance.
