Amazing lawyers! When I thought all was lost, I found this firm and saw a light at the end of the tunnel. I recommend them 100%. They have helped me so much, and I thank them with all my heart. I have no words to express my gratitude for what they have done for me. May God always bless them and may they continue helping people in need. Heaven is theirs! Thank you so much! Five stars aren't enough for this firm; I would give them 1,000,000! Thanks, Chris Emerson
The Traut Firm and specifically, James Traut and Chris Emerson have been exceptional representation. They are extremely responsive and detailed and are extremely thorough. I never end a call or a conversation by email with questions unanswered. Could not have asked for a better firm.

The Traut firm is simply outstanding. My experience was dialed in from day one. Christina did an amazing job working through all the medical and insurance details with me. She is a true professional. When you need a lawyer for an auto crash or similar incident, I recommend you call Traut first. The best in the OC. Thank you to Christina and the entire team. Amazing job!

There is nothing fun or easy about working through an injury case but having this team on your side is the best call you can make. I was new to this entire process. I was skeptical and ignorant of what to do. The whole James and Chris of The Traut Firm were the ultimate professionals. Responsive, communicative, and highly active in the whole process.

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.

The Traut firm is the most prestigious plaintiff’s law firm in Orange County. I am an attorney and this is THE firm where I refer my personal injury cases. James Traut and his highly experienced, talented team obtain outstanding results because they truly care about their clients.

I had a really bad slip and fall a couple of years ago and had hired another firm who worked on my case for months. I have numerous injuries from this accident, some permanent and I am still receiving treatment. I thought it would be helpful to those out there looking for an attorney to hear from someone who hasn't had their case settle yet, so it's not like I got a settlement I was thrilled with so now I'm leaving a good review that could be skewed that direction, etc.
When I was with my previous firm, I was not happy. People were unresponsive and dispassionate, and I felt like I was an employee beholden to the firm. So, I called Jim Traut, I explained my situation to him and my frustrations and that I wanted to switch attorneys if he felt comfortable taking me on as a client. I sent him over my files to review, and he offered me representation that same day and handled the transfer himself.
You need to know that this is a very busy firm, and we as clients sometimes like to feel as if we are the only client on their docket. The Traut Firm has been so wonderful to me and has gone above and beyond to this point in my journey with them. I have had every need addressed, and every recommendation and request considered, explored, and honored. I've had so much peace of mind since signing with them 10 months ago and they have shown me nothing but respect and due diligence.
As I said, it's a very busy firm, they vet the cases they take very carefully because of the investment of their effort, money, and time. To have your case accepted by them is an accomplishment in and of itself. If you go with the Traut Firm, your legal matter is in amazing hands, your issues like your medical needs will absolutely be addressed swiftly by Chris, who is amazing, and you will always have your concerns heard and addressed.
I was going to wait to write a review until after my case resolves, goes to trial, whatever is necessary, but I wanted people to hear the perspective of someone still in the fight and still in the process with them, not swayed one way or the other because of the financial outcome.
I've had an amazing experience with the Traut Firm and have already recommended them to friends who know I'm hurt and have asked my opinion on where to go for a personal injury. I have absolutely no doubts that whatever happens with my case, the results for my treatment and my case will be maximized because I found the Traut Firm.
And as someone in a vulnerable position with a need for amazing legal representation, that's all we can ask for.

I have been working remotely with James Traut and his team for nearly 10 years now. They have always been extremely professional, courtesy, and direct with their communications and dealings with me. I am always amazed at the incredible and swift results they get their clientele.
