A message from Eric: "Thank you to all my generous friends who assist me in getting fundraising for the OC Marathon each year. With Covid, the marathon and fundraising efforts had to go in a different direction. The holidays are meant to be a time of togetherness and joy but with the coronavirus pandemic this year, the holidays could be even more stressful for some families. Project Youth OCBF is a local nonprofit with a 50-year history of serving youth and families with education, health and diversion services. Now they are doing more than ever for our community and we need to support their efforts. Project Youth OCBF’s goal is to Feed the Need and help families who are struggling to put food on the table by distributing holiday meals for Thanksgiving. To make this goal a reality we need your help. Please join me in raising funds for Project Youth OCBF. Every dollar donated will help provide food towards a holiday meal for families in need."

Eric received praise from OC ABOTA regarding his panel with Hon. Kirk Nakamura, Hon. Linda Marks, fellow attorney Deborah S. Tropp-Thompson and OC ABOTA Chapter President, Hon. Nancy Zeltzer. Says Peter Gates from OC ABOTA "...on behalf of our ABOTA chapter...Yesterday’s webinar was very impressive and informative. My take-a-way was how lucky we are to have a lawyers like you who are willing to take their valuable time from their practice in order to keep the rest of us informed."

Every year, Project Youth OCBF makes a considerable difference in hundreds of OC families' lives, and sponsoring the golf tournament helps make this possible. This year, Nalia represented Traut Firm at the 24th Annual John C. Herklotz SHORTSTOP Golf Classic on September 25th at Strawberry Farms Golf Club. The firm sponsored hole #16 and provided snacks, drinks, and our firm's informational folders. Eric's friend, Todd, even stopped by to poke fun at us!

Eric received an awesome review from a former client on his Avvo profile. Says the client, "I will be more than happy to refer any family and friends to Eric and the great people at Traut Firm. I was stuck with a horrible firm trying to deal with a case for over three years. When I met Eric and made the move to Traut Firm within a week, Eric was able to complete my case and have results for me that the other firm didn't come near in their 3 years on my case."

Eric received another great review from a former client on his Best Lawyers profile. Says the client, "I was originally not going to hire an attorney for my case which was a rear-end collision case. A friend, who is also an attorney, recommended Mr. Traut as he is one of the best trial attorneys in our area. I'm so glad I found him. From the moment I hired him Mr. Traut was wonderful to work with, and I would highly recommend him to anyone involved in a personal injury case."

YELP Review: Mamma Melina Ristorante + Pizzeria

Says Eric on Mamma Melina Ristorante + Pizzeria: "Excellent neighborhood gem just a few miles from downtown Seattle. Sometimes pizza restaurants do pizza well, but not pasta, and vice versa. This place nails both. The wood fire oven, slightly tangy sauce, and flavorful crust help assemble a memorable personal sized thin crust masterpiece. "
