Thanks to contributions from friends, family, and colleagues, Eric was the top donor for the Project Youth Virtual OC Marathon. Eric and Traut Firm raised over $8,000 for Feed the Need. Says Project Youth, "Special thanks to our superstar Eric Traut of the Traut Firm who was our top fundraiser raising over $8,000." Project Youth OCBF will be using the donations from the marathon to provide Thanksgiving meals to 300 families affected by the pandemic.

Eric acted as a sommelier during the Robert A. Banyard Inn of Court November Wine Tasting Mixer. Eric taught members about several Italian wines while members tasted along virtually. All paid Inn members had the wines delivered to their homes in order to taste along while Eric discussed them. The event was the Inn’s way of thanking its members for their continued membership and support while striving to create a shared experience.

Eric and Pamela enjoyed a relaxing getaway in Hawaii where they hiked, swam and enjoyed good times with friends. Says Pamela, "So many beautiful photos to post from our big trip to Hana. I’ve heard both nightmares and praises for this long, winding excursion. I highly recommend it!"

Eric received a review from a former client on Avvo. Says the client, "I retained Eric Traut and the Traut Firm after he was recommended by a friend — and I couldn’t be happier that I did. After being seriously injured in an accident, I thought I was looking at an embarrassingly puny insurance payoff. But Eric stayed on the case, and in the end I was able to secure a settlement that was much more in line with the severity of the accident. Eric and everyone else at the firm who dealt with the case were kind, responsive, and efficient. Couldn’t ask for more!"

Pamela received an awesome review from a former client on Yelp. Says the client, "If anyone is looking for a personal injury attorney, this is your crew. Pamela Liosi-Traut always responded back quickly and, quite frankly, just made me feel calm after being side slammed at a stop sign. It was a really scary experience and having Pamela on my side made me be able to focus on my recovery while she took care of the rest. At a time where I feel incredibly vulnerable (not to mention in pain) it felt so good having this firm with me."

YELP Review: The Restaurant At Hotel Wailea

Says Eric about The Restaurant At Hotel Wailea: "From its perch on the hillside above South Maui's Wailea resort area, The Restaurant at Hotel Wailea provides a panoramic ocean view from the upper lanai. This restaurant falls only slightly short of a 5 star rating because of unusually small portions. While it is often the case at restaurants with a French theme, for the five star prices they charge, portions should be be more satisfying."
