The Traut Firm

The Traut Firm is a family-founded personal injury and legal malpractice law firm based in Santa Ana, California. Led by father-and-daughter attorneys James Traut and Taylor Traut, the firm provides hands-on representation to individuals and families throughout Orange County and Southern California. Rather than operating as a high-volume practice, James and Taylor collaborate on every case with support from an experienced team of paralegals and legal assistants. The firm represents people—not corporations—and places a strong emphasis on personal attention, responsive communication, and developing meaningful relationships with its clients.

With 47 years of experience, James Traut has established a substantial record of success representing injured individuals and clients harmed by attorney negligence. He has obtained numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements in complex legal malpractice and personal injury matters. Taylor Traut brings 15 years of experience and a determined, compassionate approach to advocacy. She has recovered millions of dollars for clients while earning recognition for her professionalism, preparation, and commitment to helping people rebuild their lives after serious injuries and financial losses. Together, their complementary strengths provide clients with the benefit of James’s seasoned strategic judgment and Taylor’s tenacious, detail-oriented representation.
