Highly Recommend

I hired Phil in my 2022 Racine County divorce and subsequent 2023 motions. I originally hired Phil after interviewing many other attorneys because of Phil’s ability to explain the process so that I understood the ramifications of each action/decision path. He listens to my needs and represents me in ...court authentically. Phil has pushed the court to address topics timely, so that my issues do not linger open unnecessarily. With his representation, I have requested and received fair judgment on my divorce decree, and motions regarding child support, variable expense payments, as well as substantial asset recovery. I highly recommend Phil Trampe.

Buyer Beware

It has been over four years since my divorce, and there is no doubt that I was misrepresented. In a subsequent case, the judge suggested I look into malpractice. My ex listed substantial income from the sale of a business(one I worked at etc), under ASSETS on his financial disclosure. A competent at...torney would have challenged that and had the quarterly payments accurately placed under INCOME. This would have opened it up for alimony and child support. Not only did he not do this, attorney Trampe also did not inform me that I had a claim to half of that asset. I have been sick over this as it totaled at least half a million. Apparently giving up my career, taking care of my family and my children, and my ex running off with a mistress was not enough for Mr. Trample to adequately represent me and my children. I paid handsomely for an attorney to represent my interests, not the interest of my ex-husband. I am left with the conviction that I would have been better off with no representation at all. Going before a judge would have probably gotten me half of everything which is the way it should be after a long-term marriage with children, as well as commingling of all assets including inheritance. All I can say, is you better do it right the first time.

Highly Recommend!

I had hired Phillip Trampe to help me in a case where it involved child support and a small claim. I was super nervous about it since My ex-husband seemed to constantly make me feel inferior and that I would lose every time. Things always seemed to work out in his favor mainly due to previous represe...ntation I have had. I was never accurately represented. In fact, I had to basically represent myself. Phillip Trampe changed this experience for me. My anxiety was gone. I felt very at ease and protected. He was there to advocate strongly for me with his feet planted firmly on the needs of my children. That being said the outcome was better than I had imagined based on experiences of the past. He was focused, dedicated, professional, compassionate and fair. I felt we were always one step ahead and for once in my life, I was not taken advantage of by my ex-husband. For once, I was truly represented. My concerns were always answered. He is by far the best I have seen or heard of. I highly recommend Phillip Trampe. He will represent you with the highest level of competence, professionalism and compassion.

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!

Excellent Attorney

I retained Philip Trampe for a child support case. He was professional, thorough and diligent while working on my case and representing me in court. He was able to successfully keep the child support payments owed to me from being lowered.
