Michael Eric Kraut

I recommend you to hire Michael Kraut for your case now! Dont hesitate to call him. Hes always courteous, imformative, educative, knowledgeable and professional with his clients. I hired Mike back in Feb 2013. He took the time to make me feel safe and out of trouble. He gave me the peace of mind that... my DUI case was going to be resolved. He fought for what it was needed and helped me by answering all my questions. His follow up is great. Hes sometimes busy and will call you back. :) Im greatful i found him online and hired his services to represent me. Mike is not an average attorney. Hes a very experienced, honest and straightforward person that is there for you !

While living in Florida, I became aware that there was an outstanding warrant for a family member that was also currently living in Florida. I retained Mr. Kraut as our attorney based on the reviews on this site. I am blessed because so many people took the time to review this lawyer and led me to ...the perfect choice. Because everyone's case it different, I will review what applies to everyone. I left a voicemail with Mr. Kraut explaining my situation and telling him that it was not "time sensitive." I received a callback within 2 hours. I immediately knew I had made the right choice. I never spoke to a secretary or paralegal throughout this process...only Mr. Kraut himself. He kept me informed on the status of our case, which was essential since we lived 3,000 miles away. His exponential legal knowledge and experience allowed him to fight our case without us ever being present. After standing for us at two court dates and arguing our case, all charges were dropped. I am beyond grateful for Mr. Kraut. He put me at ease during a very difficult time when I felt helpless 3,000 miles away. Although I personally hope to NEVER need his services in the future, I am glad that he is there to help those that are in need of legal service. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Short Story: He's an excellent attorney and he knows what he's doing. My mom was in an unfortunate accident. The unfortunate part was someone died in the accident. She was charged with DUI/Gross Negligence Vehicular Manslaughter. This case could have ended with my mother dying in prison. I spoke... to a few people while we were deciding if we should bail her out immediately or wait for arraignment. One of which was Michael Kraut who personally answered the phone and gave me the advice of bailing her out immediately and the reasons why- he did not try to solicit us or anything- just told us exactly what to do. After bailing her out, I scheduled 6 different appts to meet with attorneys in a 48 hr period- all attorneys with high reviews on avvo or references. They were all very sympathetic and tried to convince me that they could take the case, but none had the years of DA experience that Michael Kraut had so that was our determining factor to go with him. It was also clear that he has good/personal relations with a lot of DAs and Judges. After signing the retainer with him, another high profiled criminal defense attorney finally called me back and I explained my position. He told me to call his friend who “knows everyone” since I hinted that I was not sure if we made the right decision by hiring him the day before. Although awkward, I was desperate to hear an opinion of Kraut so I did call him. And this attorney did know Kraut and said that he knows how to do a trial and he's at a different level from all the other attorneys. This case went on for almost two years and I went to almost all of the court appearances so I was able to personally watch Michael in action. He is a very nice person, but is also serious when he needs to be... he is truly serving Justice and after our experience with the unethical DAs and incompetent judges, you need to have a good criminal attorney... Now I understand why he moved from the prosecution to defense side. He's known as being a "fighter" and he really is. My mother's case ended with a misdemeanor and no jail time.

After I bailed out my child, I was very sad, depressed, nervous, and I could not sleep at nights for more than three days. She was charged with multiple felony credit card fraud charges. I saw the world as a dark place and my lives had completely turned upside down because I was terrified to even thi...nk for a second that my child was going to prison, or even have a black mark on her name for the rest of her life. My heart was not beating well and my stomach had sank until I found Mike Kraut. I arrived in Mike Kraut’s office in despair and I had lost all hope that things would be normal again. During the first meeting with Mr. Kraut, I was constantly crying and I could not stop. Mr. Kraut was kind enough to provide me with tissues and to listen to me (and he jokingly told me that it’s ok to cry, but not too much because he does not have enough tissues to provide and because they are $1 each), Mr. Kraut’s gentle humor, and his unimaginable intellect and confidence, and the tremendous love that he has for his job made me feel much, much better. This man is the true definition of what an attorney is. When I was leaving his office he assured me that he would get the best outcome possible. After I left his office, my intuition and conscience told me that this man is the only one who will save my child. Mr. Kraut did not disappoint me. He kept his word throughout the whole process. His unwavering commitment to fight for his client was superb. No one can stand against him because of his knowledge, experience and his desire to vigorously fight for his client. I was amazed how Mr. Kraut always answered his phone and he always answered any questions. The last appointment that I had with Mr. Kraut was about one month later in his office, when he made me cry again but this time my tears were tears of joy, happiness, disbelieve, celebration and relief. My Kraut had completely dismissed all the felony charges against my child. As I am writing this to tell about Mr. Kraut, I am crying again, and I can’t find enough words in any language to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to Mr. Kraut. If you want the best criminal attorney in the world, Mr. Kraut is the only choice. He is the BEST attorney in this world. Save your time, save your health and get Mike Kraut. You will never regret it! Thank you Michael from the bottom of my heart, you will always be in my thoughts and my prayers. You are God’s gift for your clients. I can never thank you enough.
