Posted by Michelle | November 24, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.

Recommended!

Phil's experience with the Family Court system allowed him to facilitate a creative resolution under the most stressful circumstances anyone could be in.

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.

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.

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.
