Verdicts & Case Results

Why settle for anything less?

Traut Firm believes in transparency. We will not try to impress you with big dollar settlements. A big dollar settlement is not a tell-tale sign of a highly skilled litigator but rather an indication that the defendant deserved a large settlement. The evidence and facts presented may have been indisputable. Furthermore, the plaintiff’s life may have changed drastically and irreversibly due to the defendant being at fault. In this instance, being awarded a large sum has little to do with litigation skills.

On the other hand, achieving a large verdict when the plaintiff and defendant are at odds is a much bigger task. This happens when facts and damages are disputed or the evidence needs to be clarified. The litigator who tackles this and wins is the one you want on your side. When so much is on the line, an experienced lawyer and legal team, like Traut Firm, are a must. Why settle for anything less?
