“I Had a auto accident in 1997 and again in 2009 both times I used Jr traut law firm. Jr went above and beyond both times. When I had a issue that his firm did not deal with he gave me great referrals. For friends and family. When you have a accident and your frame of mind can get mixed up. He cares more for ur well being and recovery. He helps you make the hard decision and is there for you at all times to make the whole process much easier. Jr traut is quick to come to your defense and help you anyway he can. He is thourow and leave no detail unlooked. He takes great care with you looking out for your best interest and not his own. I have bad experiences with other firms, where there just out for the money and don’t care what happens. Jr is no way this type of firm he treats you as if you we’re his own family. NOT Just another client or a dollar sign. I have been impressed several times with his services and proficialism. I have been recommending him to several other’s over the years and everyone has thanked me for my recommendation. You our in great hands with Jr traut he will not disipoint and you will feel releaved when all is done the process is quick and painless”

“I could not recommend James Traut more!
My family was involved in a car accident earlier this year. We had never been in one before and it was 100% not our fault. We were told to find a lawyer and James came recommended and I understand why he was. When I called i was nervous and had no idea what to expect. He was so upfront and honest with me about the whole process and what i should expect. He sent over the contract and immediately after we sent it back we got a call from Chris Emerson. I can not express my gratitude to Chris. I told her i was willing to do anything i could to make their job easier. She gave me a list of all the things that if i could get for her it would save everyone time and money. It definitely paid off. She was always in contact with us. Whether it was giving us updates or asking questions. James whole team was so wonderful to deal with from the first conversation to the end of our case. Our accident was our first one and traumatic for our family. They were compassionate and helped us find a sense of peace.
If anyone who is reading this is on the fence about choosing a Lawfirm this one is definitely the one to go with. We have had such an amazing experience with them.”

“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!”

Michael K.

“Traut Firm, what can I say. This firm from the reception desk back to the desk of Mr. Traut himself truly a wonderful professional experience! I started off with another firm 4 plus years ago that in comparison doesn’t hold a candle to Traut firm or his daughter Taylor, she is top notch, I could never ask for better representation. Chris, another member of the team wow, this girl is a workhorse and up to any task handed to her! I can’t shout out enough for this firm and their abilities as lawyers. Awesome Awesome and awesome!!!!!
Thank you all!”

“I’m not the type of person who ever wanted to sue anyone, but after a terrible car accident, which left my son and I with major injuries, I am happy that we did. Jim Traut was referred to me by a close friend who went through a very similar situation and highly recommended the Traut Firm. Jim and Chris Emerson were fantastic! They fought hard for my son and I more than I could have ever imagined. They were responsive and trustworthy. My family felt their authentic compassion for our situation and guided us through the difficult and dark time of recovery. I don’t think any other law firm would have worked as hard as they have or would have won as much money as they did for us. Through Jims knowledge and Chris’s tenacity, they were able to cover all of our medical expenses, with more than enough left over as well. From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful for the entire Truat Firm, Jim, Chris, Taylor and Melissa! They were more than professional, they truly care about their clients.”

Deborah M.

“I got hurt in an accident. I couldn’t think straight; didn’t know what was wrong with me or what I should do. I needed expert guidance and help – which I found at the Traut Firm. James Traut – who took my case; Chris Emerson who researched my medical records and personally helped me with all the testing that had to be done and the fears that I had; Taylor Traut who represented me with expert guidance and care. Incredibly grateful.”

Robert M.

“The expertise and compassion that
Chris Emerson displayed throughout this entire process
was magnificent. She exudes tremendous confidence and went above and beyond to help at every turn. Professionalism personified is what she generously showed and it was so refreshing to be reassured by her at several junctures that were worrisome and would have been very stressful…….but she made me feel so calm and truly instilled positive thoughts and answers to every question I had posed! Bravo Traut firm!!! I even received more than was expected! Thank you James Traut for making a horrendous situation quite smooth due to Chris’ incredible talents! She never failed to call me back! I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!”

“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.”

“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.”
