At the Traut Firm, we represent the victims of negligent attorneys, serious personal injury, and the families of people who have been killed in accidents of all kinds. We know that a serious accident or loss can turn your life upside down. Although we cannot undo what was done, we can get you properly compensated. Achieving this requires experience, skill, resources, and relentless determination.

Getting you the compensation you deserve after a financial loss, a serious personal injury, or a death will mean that your lawyers must hire highly qualified experts who testify on your behalf. It can mean having these experts visit the scene of the accident and reconstruct the events to prove another’s negligence. It can mean reviews of medical records, doctor’s visits and predictions about the true impact of an injury on your life. And it can mean hiring specialized lawyers as experts to prove your former attorney negligently caused you damages.

That’s no task for a junior associate in a big law firm, or for a lawyer who is just out of law school, or for an attorney who just occasionally handles legal malpractice of personal injury cases. To get the best possible results, you need an experienced and driven legal team with specialized focus and resources–a team that knows what it takes to get a multimillion dollar settlement or jury verdict. Choosing your attorney is a big decision, and it should not be taken lightly. Before you make your decision, there are a few things that you should know about your attorney.
