Michael Eric Kraut

I hired Michael Kraut to represent me on 2nd DUI with very harsh consequences according to the law. Michael goes above and beyond to take care of his clients because he really understands that good non criminal people can have their lives destroyed by the law. He got me the bare minimum sentence po...ssible. Without his representation, I could have been in jail for months to a year, lost my job and have my life severely turned upside down. But due to him and his legal talents, I am ok. He took time from his family and weekend to make sure I was treated fairly. I owe him my life and sanity. I honestly feel that I could not have survived this without him. He is well connected in the Los Angeles legal system and people in that system like and respect him. And with that, they are willing to work with him in his representation of his clients. But that is not where his services stops because once sentenced, he does not leave you. He worked to get me out of a very horrible situation in jail and for that I am forever thankful. So if you need legal representation, Michael Kraut is the one you should hire. Look no further...this is your guy. He will be honest with you about the possibilities. He will always respond to your questions. And most importantly, he will go above and beyond to make sure you are treated appropriately in an extremely scary situation imposed by the legal system. The legal system does not always get it right in their prosecution and sentencing but he makes sure they do. I cannot say enough about my thankfulness for his services. I made a severe mistake by driving with alcohol in my system but I can say that without a doubt, I did not make a mistake in my decision to hire Michael Kraut to represent me. Thank you, Michael.

Obviously if you are in need of Michael Kraut's help, your life is going through some adversity as was the case for me. I had a couple drinks and was driving home (yes stupid and will never be doing that again) when I was blind-sided by another car. Though the accident was not my fault, as the police... arrived and went through the usual motions of checking, decided I was also driving impaired and down the DUI hole I went. From the moment I contacted Michael he was calm, confident and fully committed to helping me to the fullest extent possible. His network of knowing most of the police officers, DAs etc. is a huge resource that should not be underestimated. He also handles every case himself so you know you will get the best service possible. Cutting to the happy ending, Michael was able to reduce my charge to exhibition of speed = no DUI on record, no need for classes etc. - Great lawyer - Very personable - Always available - True professional - Passionate advocate - Worth every penny... These are the words that come to mind when I think of Michael Kraut and his legal services. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Michael.

I found myself being charged with a DUI after being pulled over for a "traffic violation" in Glendale. I knew when it was all happening I was in fact a test dummy for the CHP since the officer was being trained. This was the first time Id ever been in a situation like this. Having a charge like this ...on my record would have jeopardized my future since the industry I'm in takes these charges rightfully serious. I found Mr. Kraut through a friend. After talking with him and a few other attorneys in my screening process I choose Mr. Kraut for his confidence in doing what he could to win my case. So glad I did! My charges were in fact dropped due to an unlawful arrest. My case was tried in the Glendale Court house which seems to be one of Mr. Kraut's areas of expertise. After Mr. Kraut viewed and presented the video in court along with his great arguments as to why the report and the officers account of what happened did not match up to their own video, was more then sufficient for the judge to agree to drop the charges. I'm so glad I listened to my friends recommendation and hired Mr. Kraut. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for their best defense in a situation like a serious DUI charge.

My family was shocked and devastated after we received a call that the LAPD had arrested my college enrolled daughter for felony charge for possession of fraudulent credit card, and had taken her to the Van Nuys jail. The police did not understand or realize that she had been the victim of a sophisti...cated scam. Instead of going after the real crooks, who had issued her the bad cards, the LAPD arrested and charged my daughter with very serious felony charges. We had heard about Mike Kraut, but did not know how good he was. Based on his reputation we contacted and hired Mr. Kraut immediately. This was the BEST decision of our life!!! Mr. Kraut met and listened to us with great patience, and talked to us with great kindness, and professionalism. He assured us that he would do his best to take care of our daughter’s case. Mr. Kraut kept his word. Mr. Kraut would answer his own telephone. He never avoided talking to us as his clients. He always kept us informed of what was happening. We felt very good and comfortable being his clients. Mr. Kraut’s phenomenal legal talent, skills, combined with his passionate defense of our daughter’s case resulted in the total dismissal of these scary and dangerous felony charges against her. We feel very fortunate and blessed to have had the chance to hire someone of Mr. Kraut’s caliber. Mr. Kraut will always be our hero, and we will always remember him and forever be grateful to him for saving our daughter. God Bless Mike Kraut!!! I highly recommend Mr. Kraut to anyone who has any kind of criminal accusations or charges filed against them. He is the BEST!!!

Michael Kraut provided me with the closest thing to a miracle than I have ever experienced before. I was pulled over and arrested for DUI with a .16% BAC and I knew there would be a good chance that I would be convicted. Michael utilized his expertise, his utmost prudence of the law, and his dedicati...on to serve the people and scrutinized all of the nuances of my case. He ended up finding the smallest bit of evidence that he could use to my benefit. During the hearing, he owned that courtroom. While demanding respect, he placed a smile on the faces of everyone involved, including the judge and the prosecutor. I ended up not getting a conviction! Nothing. Zip. DUI gone. I never doubted Michael. He knows what he is doing. Just let him do his work and he will try his hardest to get the best deal he can get you.
