Your case may never go to trial. Some clients want their day in court; for others the thought of going to trial is unpleasant. The truth is, regardless of which group you fall into, your best chance of a successful outcome is putting your case into the capable hands of a confident, aggressive, and skilled trial attorney.
At Traut Firm, we carefully screen our cases and limit the number of clients we accept so that we can devote the necessary time to handling your case and fighting for you every step of the way. If your are looking for a personal injury law firm, these are the practice areas our injury attorneys can help you with.

You can expect clear communication, honest guidance, and tireless advocacy. Every case is treated as our most important, no matter the size. As a family-founded firm, we bring compassion, integrity, and dedication to each client.
In the field of personal injury and legal malpractice law, there is no substitute for hard-earned, real-world experience. Whether in a courtroom or at a negotiating table, we have successfully obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements.
Our firm is selective about the cases we accept. If we don’t believe in the merits of your case, we will tell you right away. We are always honest and straightforward with you when handling your case.
Our attorneys and staff provide relevant and timely updates so you will always know the status of your case. We are always here to answer questions and discuss concerns.
Legal victories are earned through meticulous preparation and fearless representation. We prepare each case as though it will go to trial. We use every resource necessary to tell your side of the story and build your most compelling case. We are never intimidated and don’t back down from a fight.
We accept cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win on your behalf. Fees are calculated as a percentage of the recovery. You are not responsible for any fees if there is no recovery.
From Los Angeles to San Diego, Riverside to San Bernardino, and across Orange County, Traut Firm proudly represents clients throughout Southern California and beyond. No matter where you are, our commitment remains the same: to fight tirelessly for your health, your future, and your family’s stability.
If you’ve been injured in an accident, harmed by unsafe property conditions, or wronged by a negligent attorney, don’t wait to protect your rights. Evidence disappears quickly, and strict time limits apply to every case.
