About Traut Firm

There's a reason why most of our cases are referred by other attorneys. Orange County jurors can be harsh. We know how to deal with them.

Serving residents in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, and San Bernardino counties, our law firm provides unmatched legal counsel to client with needs in the following practice areas:

▪ Legal Malpractice

▪ Personal Injury

▪ Motor Vehicle Accidents

▪ Truck Accidents

▪ Wrongful Death

▪ Traumatic Brain Injury

For over 45 years, Traut Firm has been helping individuals across Southern California secure justice after legal malpractice, vehicle accidents, and personal injuries. Founded by James R. Traut, he prosecutes all cases with his daughter, Taylor Traut. As a family-founded, family-focused law firm, we know that when you come to us, you’re not just looking for legal representation, you’re seeking support during a difficult time of your life. We have the resources necessary to handle any case regardless of the circumstances. Over the years, we have secured substantial, multi-million dollar awards and settlements for our clients.

We will treat you with the same dedication, compassion, and determination we would want for our own family.

If you were injured in an accident or lost a loved one due to another party’s negligence or wrongdoing, we can help you secure your rightful compensation and hold the responsible party accountable for his or her actions. While no amount of money can replace a beloved family member, obtaining a settlement will help with medical bills, lost income and other financial hardships that you may face. We also represent clients who need to file suits against attorneys for incompetency and inadequate counsel. You can expect clear communication, honest guidance, and tireless advocacy. Every case is treated as our most important, no matter the size.

No matter the legal need you have related to one of our practice areas, Traut Firm can help. Our law firm offers free initial consultations as an added measure of convenience for our clients.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
