Michael Eric Kraut

I hired Attorney Mike Kraut and I'm am so happy and grateful that I did! I was arrested for a DUI because my BAC level was over the .08 limit. I did not know what to do as I have never had a DUI or let alone got arrested before. It was a very scary experience. My friends told me to hire an attorney a...nd I was referred to someone "who knew a good attorney" and went with it because I had no idea what else to do. After a few months of going back and forth with that attorney he asked me to plead guilty to a DUI with 3 months of classes and probation. That did not sit well with me. I did not want a DUI on my record and did not want it to affect my career. That attorney was extremely hard to get a hold of and out of frustration I started looking for other attorney's to take on my case. I was introduced to attorney Mike Kraut through a friend. My friend called him and explained to him what was going on with my case and that I was looking into hiring someone else. The very next day I met Attorney Kraut and he was very confident that he could help me. He reassured me that he would communicate with me as he knew that was a major issue I had with the previous attorney. So I decided to have Mr. Kraut take on my case and since he knew that I had already spent a good amount on my previous attorney he gave me a really good deal, even less than what I paid the previous attorney. Attorney Kraut made me feel more comfortable and at ease. He answers all his own calls and emails. Sometimes it's better to get a hold of him through email, and although they might not be very detailed he will let you know what's going on and what you need to do. He won't hold your hand through the whole process as he is a busy man, but he gets things done! I ended up getting a wet and reckless instead of a DUI. I still have to do some classes and I'm on probation, but I do not have a DUI on my record. This was a big relief as my career is extremely important to me. I even called him a month after my case was settled because I had questions about a background check for graduate school and he answered all my questions and didn't even charge me for it! I am extremely grateful for attorney Kraut! I was able to see a huge difference between the first attorney that I hired and Attorney Kraut. If you have a DUI hire Attorney Kraut, he definitely knows his stuff!

When I received my DUI, I was just 21. It happened in May 2013 and I had only been in LA for 2 weeks. I was arrested in Beverly Hills and taken to their jail for the night. Luckily, my parents are out here as well and my dad had been told to hire Mike Kraut as my attorney. Immediately after my da...d called him, he spoke to the Beverly Hills jail and I was actually released earlier than I was supposed to be. Might I add that my BAC was very high. More than 3x the legal limit, so I basically thought I was screwed even worse. Right after my parents got me out of jail, we went to Kraut Law Offices. We sat down, and Mike made me feel at ease. I am sure I looked like a mess and had been hysterical but he seemed to calm me down. He told me that we were going to fight this together. He also told me how extremely connected he is to District Attorneys etc. in LA. He is extremely knowledgeable concerning DUI's and alc. related charges. The case took about 6 1/2 months AND WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. He miraculously got me a lesser charge than I could have ever thought possible. For someone with a BAC like mine, I should have to take a 9 month alc class, a ton of AA's, even jail time. I walked away with only having to complete my 3 month alc. program as well as a few handful of AA's. I was extremely stressed out and nervous throughout this process. I was constantly worried. Sometimes couldn't even sleep! I would constantly email and call Mike asking him a million questions, and he always got back to me. Keep in mind he is a very busy man so if he doesn't email back right away, he will! Don't worry. Thank you so much, Mike! This man is a Life saver.

Look no further! Long story short, I was hit with a DUI/Refusal. I knew I need a powerful attorney so I went on the internet to do my research. After hours of search I ended up calling Michael to discuss the matter. He returned my phone call within minutes. Once I retained him I got nervous because I... did not know if he could help me with my case because I knew there were a lot against me and I know some of my friends got lawyers that didn't do much. Then the time came for the DMV hearing. I showed up and once it started I was impressed. This guy knows his stuff. He was persistent and found everything little thing to argue about within the law. He really does protect his clients. Just trust him.

I was pulled over in the City of Orange in 2007 and charged with a DUI. Because all the notices were sent to a wrong address I could not respond to the charges and I thought they were dismissed since I don’t have a valid CA driver’s license and my immigration status is questionable. In May of 2013 I... was pulled over again and the DUI charge came up. I was sent court summons and told that I will go to jail for 60 days for the DUI and for not responding to the court summons. I retained the services of Michael Kraut who was able to negotiate 60 days of at home electronic monitoring for me instead of a sentence served in jail, which would have meant deportation for certain for me. I am able to work while being electronically monitored, as I can leave the house for 10 hours every day.Mike was very professional and reassuring. He did not make any promises he could not keep but got me a better result than I ever expected. Of utmost importance to me was that my immigration status was not questioned and Mike was able to use his contacts to make that happen. I have no doubt that very few lawyers would be able to do what Mike did. Mike is worth every penny and I very grateful to him and his staff for helping me through this difficult situation.

I was charged with a DUI in Orange County about a year ago. As soon as it happened I was so unhappy and stressed out because I have seen a couple of my friends get DUIs and I know that it comes with very high costs, both monetarily and criminally speaking. I had no idea what to do so I called up on...e of my friends before they took me to jail for the night and asked him to call around and look on the internet in order to find a good DUI lawyer in Los Angeles. He spoke to a couple people that he knew and they told him about the Kraut Law Group. So naturally he looked them up online and found that many people had used the Kraut Law Group and had excellent things to say about them. As soon as I got home from jail, I gave Mike Kraut a call so I could set up a meeting to tell him about my DUI experience and see if he could help me. I met with him in person that week at his office in LA and after speaking with him, my mind was much more at ease and I really liked how professional and courteous he was. He seemed to actually care about me and my situation where other law groups just see you as a potential pay check. So naturally I hired him to defend my on my DUI charges. He handled all the paper work, court filings and court dates (along with all other pain in the ass administrative things that come with a DUI). I literally did not have to do anything except wait for him to tell me when my court date was. I finally had my big day when I had to go to court and had the privilege of watching Mike Kraut defend me in the court room. He was extremely well spoken and knew the law inside and out. And after all his hard work, my DUI charges were dropped and I was able to walk out of the court room with no criminal charges and a free man. He truly cared about me and my case and did everything he could to get the charges dropped and he was successful in doing so. I remember how scared and unsure of what lawyer to chose after I got charged with a DUI. I am so happy that I decided to hire Mike Kraut and the Kraut Law Group. Looking back on it, I would hire him again in a heartbeat and I recommend that anyone who reads this does the same. He will work hard for you and will give you the time and care that you deserve.
