Mr James Traut, Mrs Traut and Chris are truly amazing! Went to them after my original lawyer was a complete waste and was not fighting for me. Found them and wow!!! They fought for me. I truly appreciate them. If I truly need help again I will contact them asap. I have told my family and friends about them as well Thank you read more

Chris, and James Traut are hands down the best assistant and lawyer. They got me the maximum penalty for my accident in just 4 to 5 months. Definitely recommend. read more

Attorney James TRAUT , The service I was rendered was the best I could have ever imagined. My calls where always answered or returned on a timely manner. Any documents I had to sign or approve were always explicitly explained. In my case the time frame that can never be certain for a court or settlement agreement was surprisingly a short time. Mr TRAUT was not going to settle with any amount less than the amount I needed to continue my medical needs. The Firm is nothing short of the Best. Thank God , he was referred to me, no regrets. read more

Had a horrible experience talking with James Traut on the phone. Very rude and condescending. Has zero manners and is disrespectful in his communication skills. Save yourself some time and work with a different law firm. read more

Highly recommend to this place, Best Lawyers in OC, make you feel happy, no worries..They do a very good job.I Thank You

Eric Traut is the only person I would ever want to represent Eric Trout. 10 out of 10, would hire again.

Eric Traut provided our family legal services which resulted in a great insurance settlement on our accident injury claim, the best possible outcome. He and staff were timely and professional, providing great communication, making a difficult process manageable and less stressful. Thank you read more

The Traut Law Firm's reputation precedes them. Very happy I hired Jim Traut and his team!!! Jim was recommended to me by my own lawyer brother who practices Family Law but not Personal Injury as my case would be. Was involved in an accident with injuries...I'm not a litigious person but the insurance company for the person who hit me in the car accident would not cover my injuries past a 3 month period. Turns out, I was severely injured and my medical rehabilitation could not be taken care of in just 3 months. I called The Traut Firm. Spoke with Melissa who was very pleasant. She took my info and soon after the man himself called, Mr. Traut. Very calming, very soothing conversation. Alleviated so many of my initial concerns at the start. Well, I could relax now. I was put in touch with Chris Emerson, the Traut's Litigation Paralegal professional. WOW! She is fantastic. On the ball. Handled everything. I was even more relieved. Chris kept in constant contact with me throughout the process to actually take this to the end for damage recovery but more importantly, get me the medical attention necessary. I got to pick my own doctors. Cannot say enough good things about this fantastic woman. The other side, the defense, was going to fight me on an obvious case of neglect on their part. Jim Traut and Chris Emerson then put me in touch with Taylor Traut bringing this team to a full head. Taylor was impressive. She listened. She advised. I mean, Taylor is a fighter; does not take any lip from other attorneys. If it was not for her and of course the whole team, my case would not have settled as it did. POINT: As I was told by one of my doctors, "Once the other side hears about the Traut Team as your lawyers, they will settle. Their reputation is outstanding." This was true! All in all, after the required surgery and pre and post follow up's, I am near back to physical 100% AND...without the worry of all the legal issues involved in a Personal Injury lawsuit. The Traut Firm is outstanding and I stand by my review of this team. read more

Class act, nothing short of amazing counsel and Firm. As soon as I met them I knew I'd be taken care of. And I was. I can't thank them enough!!! read more

Everyone was great! Jim Traut, Chris Emerson, Melissa Hall were all super nice and professional. They got my case settled fast. I would definitely recommend this law firm. Sincerely LT read more

I was able to directly talk to my Lender and represent my self to negotiate a new Loan at a 2% Interest rate for 30years.....FYI don't hire Traut Law Group Sincerely , ARD..... read more

I like many have had good lawyers and bad. When I got into a car accident with a semi truck I knew I had to do my homework. Therefore, I went on several different websites for reviews and narrowed my list to 10. I interviewed all 10 and picked Eric Traut, which was the definitely the best decision. He is the most kind, down to earth and respectful lawyer I have ever met. He is professional and doesn't treat you as if you are a number. He and his staff are very efficient and they didn't price gouge me as most lawyers do. They really care about you and are honest and considerate of you. In the end, I got a really good settlement even after my massive medical bills. I appreciate all the effort and work that was put into my case. Just as important as the settlement, I was treated as a person should be! I highly recommend this firm. Thank you, Mr. Eric Traut. read more

I could not recommend James Traut more! My family was involved in a car accident earlier this year. We had never been in one before and it was 100% not our fault. We were told to find a lawyer and James came recommended and I understand why he was. When I called i was nervous and had no idea what to expect. He was so upfront and honest with me about the whole process and what i should expect. He sent over the contract and immediately after we sent it back we got a call from Chris Emerson. I can not express my gratitude to Chris. I told her i was willing to do anything i could to make their job easier. She gave me a list of all the things that if i could get for her it would save everyone time and money. It definitely paid off. She was always in contact with us. Whether it was giving us updates or asking questions. James whole team was so wonderful to deal with from the first conversation to the end of our case. Our accident was our first one and traumatic for our family. They were compassionate and helped us find a sense of peace. If anyone who is reading read more

I was referred to the Traut firm by a friend after looking for a lawyer to help me resolve a motorcycle accident. My experience with the firm was a good one. They were all very professional, helpful, and communicative. Before contacting the Traut firm, I spoke with several billboard lawyers. Save your time and the headache give the Traut firm a call and let them help you out. My case was resolved in a timely manner and the Traut firm help me obtain fair compensation. At the end of the day, the Traut firm provided me peace of mind. I'll be referring them to friends and family. read more

James R Trout firm is one of the best I have ever had the experience of working with. He gets five stars for me maybe even six. Plus his helper Chris is not only good, but she's amazing. And it was a blessing to experience. a person in the law fill that was so knowledgeable in the law fill to be able to help me with my problem. read more

If anyone is looking for a personal injury attorney, this is your crew. Pamela Liosi-Traut always responded back quickly and, quite frankly, just made me feel calm after being side slammed at a stop sign. It was a really scary experience and having Pamela on my side made me be able to focus on my recovery while she took care of the rest. At a time where I feel incredibly vulnerable (not to mention in pain) it felt so good having this firm with me. read more

While traveling in California from another state, I was in an auto accident. I hired an attorney after I got home. After a year, he had done nothing on my case, as far as I could tell. I never heard from him and he didn't return my phone calls. So, I hired Jim at the Traut Firm. He immediately filed my lawsuit and shortly thereafter, my case was settled for the defendant's policy limits. His staff was very helpful and friendly and when I called Jim, he always returned my phone calls. I highly recommend Jim Traut. Lexa H read more

I'm not the type of person who ever wanted to sue anyone, but after a terrible car accident, which left my son and I with major injuries, I am happy that we did. Jim Traut was referred to me by a close friend who went through a very similar situation and highly recommended the Traut Firm. Jim and Chris Emerson were fantastic! They fought hard for my son and I more than I could have ever imagined. They were responsive and trustworthy. My family felt their authentic compassion for our situation and guided us through the difficult and dark time of recovery. I don't think any other law firm would have worked as hard as they have or would have won as much money as they did for us. Through Jims knowledge and Chris's tenacity, they were able to cover all of our medical expenses, with more than enough left over as well. From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for the entire Truat Firm, Jim, Chris, Taylor and Melissa! They were more than professional, they truly care about their clients. read more

From the first call placed to the Traut firm to the day the case was settled, the entire Traut Firm and Eric, consistently remain polite, professional, efficient and transparent. Emails were responded to a timely manner, phone calls were returned, questions were answered with accuracy and efficiently. Eric explained everything as needed and left me with no unanswered questions. No one from the Traut Firm made it seem as an inconvenience with any questions or concerns I had. The Traut Firm exceeded my expectations not only with the outcome of the case but the efficiency, friendliness, knowledge and professionalism. read more

Despite a wild 2020, Mr. Traut was successfully able to negotiate and close my case in a timely matter. All communication was professional and precise. I appreciate his direct communication and thoroughness. I would highly recommend to anyone if you have been a victim of someone else's negligence read more

Jim recently handled a dispute with my homeowners association and I was very impressed with how easy it was to talk to him about the circumstances, he quickly advised me what he thought I should do and from there he kept me informed during the process. I am happy with the service I received from Jim. He's a consummate professional and I'm happy with the outcome. Would recommend him highly. Shelley H read more

After losing my husband in a tragic way, Mr Traut and his team went above and beyond to get me through this painful time. He was very attentive on answering emails and phone calls right away. He had a lot of compassion for my lose and worked extremely hard resulting in a settlement we were happy with. I would highly recommend him.  Thank you so much Mr. Traut! read more

Eric Traut is the only attorney I recommend for an auto accident. He is professional and he is extremely knowledgeable about the law. I was fortunate to be introduced to him through a friend who was married to an attorney after I had an accident on the freeway as a passenger. His office is beautiful and we were able to get a settlement from the man who hit our vehicle. I will never attempt to handle medical bills from an insurance company due to an accident ever again. The insurance companies like to stall because they know if you don't file a lawsuit within two years after an accident you can't get paid. I learned the hard way to always hire and attorney and never try to handle getting payments by yourself. Hope you don't need an attorney but if you do Eric Traut is the one to hire. Happy Yelping! read more

Like most people, I am looking for a particular set of attributes when searching for a attorney to trust with my case. Eric Traut checks all those boxes. He is professional, prepared, knowledgeable, and uses due diligence. He combines those traits of competence with a patient, empathetic, & attentive disposition that makes him easy to trust & a pleasure to work with. Maybe most importantly, I want my lawyer to carry some professional pride. I want a genuine desire to win a case that is separate & apart from the desire to collect a fee. I was not disappointed!! I strongly recommend Eric to anyone who values these characteristics the way I do. That being said, I'm very happy with the outcome of my case! I'm reviewing based on experience. Handled like a true professional business man. Also, my settlement was much larger then I even expected. I can't thank you enough! read more

After being hit from the rear by a truck, destroying my car and being badly injured, I knew I'd need an attorney. Looking online it was easy for me to choose the Traut Firm due to past performances and the opinions of other attorneys who ranked them at the top year after year. I wasn't disappointed in any way. Jim and his staff are a smooth, professional business who keep you informed and comfortable as you work the plan together seamlessly. My case took a year and a half and flowed like water. Everything Jim said initially came to pass as he said it would as the case moved forward. The office staff was friendly, comforting, and professional. I just followed our plan and things went smoothly. I couldn't have made a better choice in representation or be more satisfied. read more

I needed help after getting into a car accident and heard from my mother-in-law that Traut Law Firm could help me. And yes indeed they did. Chris was my go to person who helped me in getting my paperwork in order. Chris was not only helpful but Very professional As well. Chris help me in many ways One of them was by her ability to make fun of everything but still getting my case done. Of course Jim was an awesome Lawer who called me everytime there was an update. Love this Law Firm and the worker as well. read more

I interviewed several "Motorcycle Attorneys" before a trusted friend referred me to Pamela Liosi. From our first meeting; I realized I could rely on her completely. Her aura of professionalism and trustworthiness is notable. (During the process, I referred a friend to her also. That friend thanks me for the introduction every time I see him.) Miss Liosi resolved my case amicably and well beyond the expectations of industry experts. She was remarkable. I would strongly recommend you call The Traut Firm and ask for an appointment to see Miss Liosi. Then be sure to tell me how much you like her! read more

Great experience with Eric and his team. After my husband's car accident they took care of everything for us. We wound up with a settlement that I doubt we would have received without their help. We definitely recommend them! read more

I highly recommend The Traut Firm to anyone looking for representation in a personal injury case. Eric Traut represented me and he was wonderful to work with. Mr. Traut and those who work for him were very polite, quick to respond, answered all of my questions, communicated well, and settled my case fairly. I was originally not going to hire an attorney for my case which was a rear-end collision case. As a result of the accident, I suffered major headaches and extensive physical therapy for over two years. The defendent's insurance company was pressuring me to resolve the incident quickly and I didn't know where to turn because I was still facing ongoing treatment for my injuries. A friend, who is also an attorney, recommended Mr. Traut as he is one of the best trial attorneys in our area. I'm so glad I found him. From the moment I hired him, I no longer had to interact with the defendant's insurance company and the pressures they put on me. Mr. Traut was wonderful to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone involved in a personal injury case. read more

amazing lawyers! best representation you can get, definitely recommend! thank you to the traut firm for helping me with my car accident!

I retained Eric Traut and the Traut Firm after he was recommended by a friend -- and I couldn't be happier that I did. After being seriously injured in an accident, I thought I was looking at an embarrassingly puny insurance payoff. But Eric stayed on the case, and in the end I was able to secure a settlement that was much more in line with the severity of the accident. Eric and everyone else at the firm who dealt with the case were kind, responsive, and efficient. Couldn't ask for more! read more

When it comes to professionalism the Traut Firm is second to none! Eric Traut represented me in my personal injury case. I had never hired a lawyer before my accident, so I was very nervous about what i was about to get myself into. Mr. Traut and his team were so great and easy to work with! Quick to respond, answered all of my questions, communicated well, and got me the best settlement we could get! I recommend The Traut firm to anybody looking for an Attorney! read more

I hired Jim Traut to sue for injuries I received in an accident caused by a drunk driver. I was always kept up to date on what was going on. Jim or someone from his staff always took my calls or returned them. Because they file your lawsuit right away, my case was resolved quickly and for top dollar. I would definitely use Jim again! read more

My previous attorney was worthless when compared to Traut Firm. I wish I would have known Jim Traut before. They were all nice, always answering my questions promptly. Jim always called me and dispelled all my fears. I will recommend him to any one I know needing legal help. I had the best experience ever!! read more

Eric Traut is a distinguished, competent, highly knowledgeable and experienced attorney. I was referred to him by another lawyer for an auto accident. He took my situation seriously, waited to assess the extent of my injuries, and then proceeded to accept my "case." I was impressed by his competence, his easy familiarity with all phases of my lawsuit, and his professional demeanor throughout. He clearly instructed me before the deposition and before I was seen by the defendant's physician with pertinent information. I was always treated with respect and dignity by Eric and his other staff members. Even though my case dragged out, he was always confident that my truth would prevail, and it did. With absolutely no hesitation whatsoever, I highly recommend Eric Traut as an outstanding accident attorney. read more

I was represented by Pamela Liosi due to a work injury. After three attorneys, i was very happy that someone finally was responding to my phone calls, my emails and my concerns. She was always prompt to answer, even if she was on vacation. She is very professional and really cares for your case. I am very thankful for all her help as well as of the staff. I highly recommend her!! read more

We recently found ourselves in a precarious situation and in need of an attorney. We were referred to Eric Traut of the Traut Law Firm. From our first meeting to the conclusion of our case Eric exhibited compassion and concern. Eric always made us feel as if we were his only clients and his top priority which lowered our anxiety level tremendously! Eric's knowledge of the law , his professionalism in and out of the courtroom as well as his exceptional litigating skills puts him, in our opinion one of the best of the best ( if not the best). Thanks Eric for a fight well fought and a job well done! If ever I or anyone I know finds a need for an awesome litigator Eric Traut , you will be our first call! Thanks again, Michael and Marty read more

This was my first time having to use a lawyer personally, and my experience with the Traut Firm made the experience as enjoyable as needing a lawyer can be. Between the office staff, Taylor and Jim, I felt that I never needed to doubt the progress of my lawsuit and they were on top of answering my questions, following up with medical records and getting signatures. When it came time to explaining things to me at anytime, they would explain to me until I had no further questions and I never felt like they were rushing. When it came time to the settlement , she worked as hard as she could until I was satisfied with the closing number and I was! If I ever need a lawyer again, they will be the first I call and would recommend in a heartbeat to anyone else! read more

This law firm is absolutely amazing, my attorney was Pamela and she was the most genuine person I've ever met. Most firms will try to get you out of the way as quick as possible and treat you like another number but Pamela actually cares about helping people as much as she is able. She really tries to get the best results from your case. If you have a case go to this firm! You won't regret it 5 stars for the Traut Firm! read more

I was involved in a serious auto accident in August of 2010. The other driver was at fault but their insurance carrier was unwilling to take full responsibility for my injuries. I needed legal representation to protect my rights and to pursue a fair and equitable settlement. Therefore, I retained Eric Traut, Attorney At Law, and a partner in the Traut Law Firm to represent me. Eric did an outstanding job representing me and he was able to obtain a favorable outcome with my case. Eric was responsive and effective. In addition, his team at the Traut Law Firm did an excellent job supporting Eric's efforts pertaining to my case. I would highly recommend Eric Traut to anyone injured as the result of another driver's negligence or for representation in any personal injury case. read more
