Michael Eric Kraut

I met Michael Kraut after meeting with several other attorneys. He made himself available during a holiday weekend when I was still in town. He was honest sincere and discussed a strategy that the other lawyers did not think of when I met with them. What I think set Mr. Kraut apart from other law...yers I met with was his knowledge of law. I also did my homework before meeting with him. I spoke to a judge that my family knew in Los Angeles. He told me that Mr. Kraut was really well respected in the court system and that as a former District Attorney he knew the system from the inside. I ended up hiring Mr. Kraut and I am.so happy with the result. To be honest, I made a very stupid mistake the day I was arrested. I could have ended up in prison. I have professional licenses and a career that I love. During the process Mr Kraut kept me updated after every court appearance we would speak in the phone. He also sent an email reminding me of what happened in court that day and when the next court date was going to be along with a future strategy. There were times I was panicked during the process and I would call him. His voice was calming and reassuring. I was always surprised when I called him he would personally answer the phone. In today's busy world I thought was such a personal touch. Well the end of the case came many months later. I know Mr. Kraut put in way more ttime in the case then was expected for then price I paid. He never upped his price or asked for more money. Thank you Kraut Law Group for getting me through the worst time of my life. In the end my case was dismissed and I had my world back. I was able to keep my job and career. After the case was over I stopped in to personally thank Mr. Kraut. In my line of work I am given a bonus based update job performance. I tired to give Mr. Kraut a small thank you bonus and he refused to accept it. He said he has never accepted a bonus because he never wanted to think he would have tried harder on a case of he got more money. Mr. Kraut's ethics and style matched his connections and results.

About 2 months ago I got into a bit of trouble. No need to go into the details aside from saying it was a combination of me being stupid with someone falsely accusing me of something. Anyway when things calm down I was able to get ahold of Michael. By the time I talked to him I've already spoken with... five or six Attorneys at Great length. True, Michael was very assertive on the phone. But he knows his stuff! He was not demanding nor was he unprofessional or pushy in anyway. He is an absolute professional that is incredibly connected with people he needs to be. He acted swiftly and aggressively and with integrity He told me to just trust him and let him do his thing. Which he did! He took care of all I needed to get done. Yes, possibly a bit pricier than the others I spoke to. However, in hindsight I don't think I would be this comforted if I had chose anyone else. I would very very highly recommend Michael anytime you or your loved ones get in trouble. And absolute Rockstar lifesaver.

Michael Kraut is an outstanding, thorough, responsive and effective attorney. I literally found him through an online search, yet he was a godsend and I am so thankful. Not only is he an utmost professional, but he listens, and was ahead of the curve on all fronts. He was responsive at all times, ...but didn't waste my time with small talk. From the moment I first called him, he was ahead of the curve with my case and while the cards were stacked highly against me, he was able to handle the situation and get me to a successful place on all fronts. This is the best money I've ever spent. If you need a criminal defense attorney, RUN to him.

I am from out of state and was arrested for public intoxication in California. I found Michael off of the internet through sites such as AVVO. Right after our first call Michael pushed for me to hire him due to his connections from him being a former DA and his confidence in his ability to get my cas...e dismissed. Michael was immediately concerned about my case due to the fact that it could effect my job as well as my professional license. Michael did not hold me hand through the process and was very straight to the point--a good trait to have as a defense lawyer. Michael made contact and provided updates when new information was available. Although Michael was more expensive than the other options we saw online--I decided to hire him due to his confidence in getting my case dismissed before the court date and his concern over my professional license. Ultimately, Michael was able to get my case dismissed before charges were even filed and I could not be happier!

I was arrested for very serious charges in 2014. I’ve never been in jail and I was very scared for the first time. I called my family member and I asked them to find one of the best lawyers in LA. My bail was 1.1 million dollars and I wanted to get out of jail immediately and Michael informed my pare...nts if we can wait for little bit he would help us to save our money and drop the charges. Michael ended up dropping some of my charges and I have received only probation when I was expecting to go to prison for at least few years. Michael helped me to finish probation early from 5 years to two and half and also he helped me to expunge my record. He saved my life and helped me to start a new life. He is a wonderful, intelligent and the best criminal defense lawyer I’ve ever encountered in my life. I can honestly say if you hire Michael Kraut you are making the best choice in your life. Thank you Michael for helping me to start my life! If it wasn’t you I would be in prison right now. I appreciate you so much.
