Professional, Supportive & Knowledgeable

Divorce is never easy especially with kids, Philip and his team were incredibly supportive and ready to go to bat for what was in my children's best interest the entire time. The communication was timely and professional, they were extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I am incredibly grateful... for having hired him in such a crucial moment in life.

Attorney Trampe Representation

Attorney Trampe is an extremely professional and dedicated attorney. From the initial consultation through the duration of the custody case, I felt Attorney Trampe truly listened to the facts and understood the difficult custody situation I found myself in. Attorney Trampe was superb in his explanati...ons of the process and next steps. Although not a perfect legal outcome, the results were the best I could hope for considering the legal system and situation. Attorney Trampe was amazing making sure that the proper legal protections going forward were in place to prevent or at least provide actionable grounds in the event of future harassment and/or inappropriate behavior not beneficial to the well being of my child from the mother. I would highly recommend Attorney Trampe to any parent who is trying their best to ensure their child has the most healthy environment despite a contentious and toxic "co-parent". If future custody issues arise, I will definitely be seeking out Attorney Trampe's services.

High-Conflict Divorce, Custody & Placement Case

Thank you to Philip and the rest of the staff at MJT Law. You have been an integral part of protecting me & my children. Philip worked tirelessly through my high-conflict divorce & custody/placement case. His insight & pragmatic approach helped solve many of the issues outside of the courtroom. Once ...in the courtroom, Philip’s knowledge of the law and technique to expose duplicity was flawless. To say it simply, Philip is an excellent attorney & a good man.

Phenomenal performance from day 1

What impressed me from the first time we met and still holds true today is that Phil listened to me. He understood my concerns and knew how try prioritize my specific set of circumstances and led me down the path step by step. Going through a difficult process when children are involved is very stres...sful. However, Phil clearly explains the situation and lays out the options. He always seems to know what will happen before it happens and planned a strategy that protected my best interests. Furthermore, his calm demeanor during stressful moments is more comforting and reassuring than one can ever imagine. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Phil for his service. I can honestly say that there’s absolutely nobody else that I would want by my side guiding me through what could easily be described as the most difficult days of my life. Phil please keep up the good work. People need and appreciate your efforts!!

Could not be happier with Phil

Phil was my attorney for my divorce which included a custody battle over our four children. I could not be happier with the job that Phil did in and out of the court room. Worth every single penny! My ex went with an attorney who was much cheaper but he definitely got what he paid for! When it come...s to attorneys, you do not want to skimp! It is absolutely no surprise to me that Phil has the high rating that he does. He is smart, competent, well-spoken and extremely prepared. I would use him again in a heartbeat.
