Very nice staff and on top of amazing lawyers

James Traut of The Traut firm is excellent, organized and he will provide the help you need. I highly recommend the firm to handle your personal injury accident!

My case finally settled late last year and I am so happy with the outcome. The Traut Firm took on my case and did a marvelous job. Jim Traut is one cool guy, he is extremely thorough, honest, direct, resourceful and extremely knowledgeable, and has his client best interest at heart. There was moments I had doubts, but Jim Traut and his team did an awesome job keeping me abreast on my case and ensuring me that there is light at the end of the tunnel even after experiencing such painful on the job accident. I am very grateful to have known Jim in the capacity which I have. He is a man of his word. The Traut Firm team consist of outstanding group of individuals that know their role and excel. I would absolutely recommend anyone in need of legal services to reach out to the Traut Firm.

These guys are terrible! Cold, slow, impersonal, distant and uncommunicative. They are not knowledgeable or lied to me! They are everything you don't want in an attorney!

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!

Huge waste of time! Very disorganized..

Everyone at Traut Firm was amazing. They helped me with my case. They are there to answer any questions at anytime. I highly recommend Traut Firm to my family and friends.

I seriously had a wonderful experience with the Trout firm! Staff is amazing, sweet, and very on top of things! Available whenever I needed them or had question. James Trout made sure him and his staff took very good care of me! 100% satisfied ......l would not hesitate to recommend Trout firm.

I personally had a great experience with the Traut Firm. They were up front with me and let me know how my case would proceed from the beginning and they lived up to it. I would recommend the Traut Firm to anyone.

Very polite, and professional service

Be very very careful choosing this firm. Information told may be false and the staff can be very disrespectful!!! The bottom line is always what's in their pocket, not yours!

The atmosphere is very upbeat and everyone that works there is really friendly and helpful. My fiance and I always have a great time there!

The Traut Firm represented my business with the professionalism that anyone would want and need from a legal team. Everyone was courteous to me and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Jim took the time to fully understand the nature of my business and moved forward with the knowledge needed to win my case. I highly recommend the Traut Firm.

Awesome lawyers, helped me from beginning to end.

I hired Traut Firm after a debilitating personal injury/car accident. The firm handled the matter professionally and resolved the entire matter expeditiously. I hardly recommend lawyers, but they're superb, experienced, and excellent litigators.

James Traut excellent communication skills
He definitely takes care of you as a person not just a number

In my opinion, and my experience, I was represented by their office, but they were unprofessional and harmful. Mr Traut, his assistant named Alma Fierros, were careless. They are completely disorganized, and have been disrespectful with me on the phone. Not only unprofessional but careless and harmful. I've asked for my file electronically, but no one provided my case file to me. I do not recommend this office, because they might ruin your case the way they did mine.

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!!

The staff at the Traut firm are very professional and amazing to work with.

I've been working with Traut Firm for many months now. They are knowledgeable, friendly and a family oriented business that really creates a pleasant experience. Would highly recommend!

I've worked with the Traut Firm and they are very professional and trusthworthy. Highly recommend.

Never let's u down. Only ethical lawyer left in the O.C.
Know for 30 yrs. Cares about you and your case. Treats u like family.

I have never wanted to write or post anything online. I think this is because I have never experienced something that was so unbelievable that I felt the need to share it to the world. Fortunately I have a forum that will allow me to warn people of the Rip Off tactics, over charging and coursing strategies that are implemented by the Traut Firm in Santa Ana, CA.

When my parents where in a car accident last year, they were injured severely. With not much information of my own, I was scared for them. I search for help and advice. After doing a search in the local area I came across the Traut Firm. The first phone call was nice and Eric Traut lured me in with the ideas of getting justice and the maximum award to cover my parents medical bills and to ease their suffering. I was sort of relieved, both my parents and I went in for a "Free" consultation.

The attorneys appeared to be nice and they played into this "Were a family business firm" moto and we're here for you. Then the conversation became very aggressive with the need to get my parents healthy. The case appeared to be a clear victory in our favor. Most of the evidence proved that my parents were not at fault. When the conversation came up for the retainer, they mentioned they would allow us to make the minimum payment and would take the rest out of the settlement based on the award. I figured that's how it usually works. Boy was I in for a treat.

What there strategy was included was aggressively signing my parenting into physical therapy multiple days a week, which kept them out in the public constantly. They continued to insist that my parents needed more care and influenced them to request it. This continued for months and months.

Finally after about 6-7 months of back and forth, they showed us a settlement, that at first glance, would make anyone happy considering all that my parent had been through. We thought all the expenses would be covered, my parents would be compensated for there troubles and we can move forward, was I wrong. When we were presented with the final figures, we were shocked at all the fees we had incurred. Medical bills, therapy bill and lastly attorney fees, Yes the Traut Firm hooked us, and used us to take more than 80% of the award. The disappointment was tremendous and the nice and professional gentlemen, did not have the same empathy for my parents as they once did. Everything was falling into place. They rack up billable hours for both them selves and there physician partners. Once they payments were arranged the Traut Firm had no time, and did feel the need to explain these results, to a very vulnerable family.

In fact, only the last visit to the therapy physician, we spoke to another family that was referred by the same firm to learn that many, many referrals come though the Santa Ana location from the attorney's at the Traut Firm. This was confirmed by the receptionist. I am embarrassed to say what the outcome of the case was and how my parents where used as pawns in this nasty scheme. I would like to warn others out there of the potential out come of there evil esq's. They will charm you, they will look empathetic, and they will say they want justice, but what they really want is all the money you are entitled to, to fill there own sloppy pockets.

beware of the Traut Firm, they will promise you justice but will leave you with almost nothing.
