About Michael
Biography
At Kraft Law Firm, I practice under the motto that “If it’s a big deal to you, it means a great deal to me.” I am devoted to my clients and their concerns, immersing myself in their issues and providing exceptional understanding and support while servicing their legal needs. Knowledge and experience are critical. Just as important is keeping you closely informed and educating you in a way that empowers you to make important decisions that affect your situation.
I bring over thirty years’ experience to the table in counseling you about your business, corporate and real estate needs. I represent a variety of businesses and individuals advising them on existing strategies, new initiatives and the legal challenges that they face. Whether starting or growing your business, addressing claims, negotiating a lease or purchasing a new home, I will stand by you and provide exceptional service.
The breadth and range of my clients includes a national company specializing in receivables management, a sports club franchisor, real estate developers, a wine distributor with several locations, web site developers, a payroll processing company and many other businesses and individuals.
I received my undergraduate degree in 1981 from the University of Pennsylvania and my law degree in 1984 from Boston University School of Law. I am admitted to practice in Massachusetts (state and federal courts) and in Connecticut.

Extremely knowledgable
