Lawyers Jim & Taylor Traut

We Have a Reputation for Results

The Traut Firm has had exceptional verdicts in more than 250 jury trials, with over 100 six- and seven-figure verdicts and settlements. What’s significant is that the defendants’ settlement offers in these cases were only a fraction of the final verdicts awarded to our clients. This clearly shows that our success comes from our litigation skills, not just the strength of the case. Our reputation as skilled litigators allows us to negotiate top-dollar settlements because insurance companies know that if our clients aren’t offered what they deserve, we are fully prepared to go to trial and win.

We win over 95 percent of our cases. Other lawyers routinely refer clients to us because they know we will get the results the clients deserve, whether in settlement negotiations or in the courtroom.

You Can Afford Us

Affordable Legal Representation

We do not charge consultation fees. You pay no legal fees or litigation costs out of pocket. If we win a settlement on your behalf, our usual fee is one-third of that amount. If there is no verdict or settlement recovery, there is no fee. Talk to one of us about your serious personal injury case, or your legal malpractice case. No pressure. Just explanations. Then you can make an informed decision — when it suits you.

Medical Expense Coverage

Addressing Your Medical & Financial Needs

We have connections. Need medical treatment? No insurance? Can’t afford it? No problem. We can arrange treatment for you with first-rate healthcare providers who will defer payment until we win your injury claim. Need money to get you through this rough patch? We can arrange that too. Again, the lender will defer repayment until you win your lawsuit.
