Excellent lawyer! I am so thankful I had Attorney Philip Trampe fighting for me.

Justice was served! Attorney Philip Trampe represented me through my divorce from a very difficult man and his equally difficult lawyer. Even though they tried every nasty, ridiculous thing they could, Attn. Trampe remained unphazed, professional, and extremely effective. He helped me be strong on... the stand and not let the other lawyer get to me as she disrespectfully spewed unbelievable nonscence in her obnoxiously rude way. Throughout my time working with him, Attn. Phillip Trampe attentively listened to my situation and took detailed notes. He worked to fight for what I wanted, but also what what realistic based on the law. He knew what documents and proof I needed to bring to trial. He then presented a very thorough case. His closing statement was awesome. He stated the facts and showed how ridiculous my ex spouse and his lawyer's demands were. I'm so very happy I hired Phil. I feel like he's been a trusted friend on this journey with me. He is an honest man who cares about his clients and representing them with honesty and dignity. The whole office staff is great. They are personable yet professional. Communications were clear and understandable. Thank you Phil and everyone on your team.

I would highly recommend Philip Trampe. He did an amazing job on my incredibly complex, difficult, high conflict divorce and child custody case. He was calm, empathetic, knowledgable, and thorough throughout my nearly 2 year divorce process. Phil was always professional, patient, and fair, even in... the most challenging moments. He successfully tackled a wide range of complex and difficult situations and was thoroughly prepared for every surprise, setback, attack, or argument. He stood his ground and protected me while maintaining a comprehensive, strategic framework that was always one step ahead. Phil was thorough, ethical, and realistic throughout the process and consistently acted with integrity and high moral and personal character. He helped me stay focused on the most critical issues and was able to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of revealing the truth for the judge and winning every aspect of my case at trial. The outcome of my case was better than my highest expectations, and I attribute that 100% to Phil's outstanding ability, hard work, dedication, character, and uncompromising professionalism.

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.

Amazing job every time!

Attorney Trampe has represented me more than once and every time, he exceeds my expectations. He is extremely skilled at what he does and I always feel confident sitting in the courtroom with Trampe representing me.

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.
