Honest lawyer in Racine.

I hired Mr Trampe to help me with a custody/placement dispute between my x and myself. The process was gruelling, took about one year to complete. During my time with Phillip, I found him to be very competent. He (with help from his assistant) achieved the exact results I wanted. He never wasted a ...moment of my time and was very professional. I considered 3 other attorneys and went with Mr Trampe and do not have one regret. I'm writing this review not just because he asked me to, but because I hear about horror stories with attorneys and I think people deserve the quality representation Phillip Trampe offers. Sincerely, thank you Phillip. You helped secure my sons future.

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.

Absolutely the best

When going through the unpleasant times of a divorce a person is forced to take a gamble on putting their future in someone else's hands. Especially when there are children involved. There are huge issues at hand and often large monetary items that must be protected or divided fairly. Even more im...portantly, if there are children are involved you need an attorney who will get you the most time with your kids as possible. A mistake by choosing the wrong attorney can mean losing thousands of dollars and priceless time with your children. All of these things crossed my mind before I hired Philip Trampe. These are HUGE and important things in my life! Let me assure you that Attorney Trampe far surpassed even my large expectations. He was able to get me EVERYTHING I asked for. His tenacity and thorough knowledge of family law were immediately evident the first time I met him. I cannot say enough great things about Attorney Trampe. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to get things done as fast and efficiently as possible. Not to mention that he truly is a nice guy. You absolutely will not regret speaking to this man. Period.

Great attorney, Honest, Trustworthy. Met All Expectations

Attorney Trampe represented me in my divorce. It was a complicated divorce with child custody, child support, high assets, and maintenance issues. We worked together to set goals for the outcome and those goals were met. Attorney Trampe kept me informed every step of the way and always offered sou...nd advice. He was very professional in all meetings with the court and always treated me with respect. I feel without him, the case would have turned out much differently. He was always looking out for my best interest and the best interest of my child. I highly recommend him for anyone needing an attorney. My case was complicated with a lot of factors and he kept working for my best interests. Because of this, a settlement was agreed to that met my goals.
