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.

Excellent Representation

Take great care to understand my needs and my goals throughout the case. He took the time to explain to me anything that was difficult to understand, so I was fully aware of where I was in the process. He represented my best interests and came to the table with excellent knowledge. He took the time t...o do research for me before each case. I never felt alone. Philip and his team were always there and answered my calls every time. They gave me such a sense of peace of mind knowing I was great hands and truly had solid team supporting me through the entire process from beginning to end. Highly recommend, he took a very sensitive and emotional approach to help me through an uncomfortable and traumatic situation. Thank you, Philip! And thank you to all on your team!

ATTY Trampe, go with him 1st

I was in a divorce case evolving into a more complex divorce case over time as more n more came out that was happening in my marriage behind my back, even when I anticipted a kosher/easy divorce than I had foreseen when I filed. I went to a well know atty that then began to put me on the defensi...ve as his client, I had to prove to this 1st atty that I was not who my atty & ex, & ex’s atty was making me out to be. He seemed to be siding w my ex after a few months rather than giving me full support…it was “just take this, u already are getting enough and who cares that ur husband has had a girlfriend.”. Obviously onto atty #2, this was a flat fee for service….bad idea, it became “forget this and that, let’s just get done and finalized” but I felt strongly on issues I personally had and wanted to address in my case and that need attention by my atty and representation to fight for me. Both lawyers #1 & #2 were afraid of my ex’s lawyer and wanted to look “good” for her, who is/was the President of The Law/Bar Association of WI. So I began to search for atty # 3, which can sometimes look poor in the eyes of some judges (& atty’s), but I needed 100% support for me and my kids, a strong atty and one that help focus on and address my issues I cared about….. that were almost pushed to the way side by my 1st two atty’s. Plus, when calling around for my 3rd atty, I had to find one that was not afraid of my ex’s atty. Atty Philip Trampe’s team assured me he is the one to go w in Racine Co….he was originally referred to me by a Waukesha/Milwaukee co atty and swore that Trampe (represented Racine Co.) will side w me and also be open n honest enough to tell me what truly is fair during negotiations, and since it was a high emotion divorce, atty Trampe was able to me focused if I got off track or reeled me back in if my emotions flared up. I Highly recommend professional atty Philip trampe and his team! Thank you!

Incredibly Professional and Knowledgeable

I retained Attorney Trampe because I wanted someone who could guide me through the divorce process and get results in my case, and he did not disappoint. He was very patient with me and did an excellent job of keeping my case on track and explaining things to me that I didn't understand. I especially... appreciated that he and his team kept after my ex to sign paperwork and keep the process moving along. Overall, I was very satisfied with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great divorce attorney.
