Michael Eric Kraut

I found myself in the unfortunate situation of being charged with a felony offence my first night in LA travelling from overseas. The whole ordeal was frightening to say the least. I went to many different lawyers who all told me many different things, which left me confused and unsure. When I sp...oke to Mike he told me firstly that all of the suggested plans of action the other lawyers had suggested could be done, but why not try to get the case rejected before it went to a hearing. Not one lawyer I had spoken to mentioned that. Mike never told me he could guarantee my charge would be rejected, but that he would work as hard as he could to make that happen. True to his word two weeks later my case was rejected by the DA. Mike is a straight talking, no nonsense lawyer, he doesn't want to be your friend, but he get results. I'm glad chose Mike Kraut, now I can put this whole ordeal behind me.

It is without hesitation that I recommend Attorney Michael J Kraut to anyone in the Los Angeles area needing legal services and representation in any criminal matter. Michael is absolutely the finest lawyer our family has ever retained. Upon being contacted, he immediately got down to business givin...g advice and taking actions that were absolutely critical in limiting damage and dealing with legal ramifications caused by false accusations. Whether you communicate with him as a client via phone, email or text messaging, Michael responds immediately with sound advice and gets to the heart of the matter without excessive chatter. He continuously demonstrates that he truly cares about the welfare of his clients and is a strategic genius in charting the pathway(s) through a legal case. Additionally, Michael is compassionate in dealing with the difficult emotions of his clients that are in play. I have the highest regard for Michael as a person and admire him as a highly-skilled and outstanding lawyer dedicated to resolving the issues facing his clients. There is no better attorney anywhere! He is the best! Al P.

If you're in charged with a criminal allegation in Los Angeles, retain Michael Kraut immediately! He is hands-down the best criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles! I recently had the misfortune of being falsely accused of a very serious crime. It was imperative I retain the best legal representat...ion available and fast. I felt my entire life was over. I was facing a loss of career, a loss of reputation, and most important a loss of freedom. The stress was enormous, but Michael came to the rescue immediately after I hired him. Michael knows the system well and understands where to apply the most effort in order to be effective. He gave me clear instructions regarding what I had to do to beat this thing. All charges against me were rejected by both the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. No matter what, you must follow his instructions to the letter. I cannot thank Michael enough for this result and am eternally in his debt. When I first called Michael, he was very comforting and told me there was a way out of this. I just needed to follow his lead and do what he said. I know from first-hand experience that feelings of uncertainty and fear can cloud one’s judgment and even prevent one from sometimes doing everything that one is told to do. You must absolutely listen to Michael and everything he says to do. It may seem sometimes that you’ll want more explanation or that you don’t understand, but it’s important to trust him. Throughout our time together, I called him and he fixed things for me and very quickly. I don’t know how but he did. For example, there was a party that wouldn’t meet with me – he called them and reassured them that I was not dangerous. There was another matter in another city that was damaged because of the matter in Los Angeles. He coordinated there and put me in a much better position. He advised me regarding how I could stand up for my rights in other areas and helped me build a case to that effect, which may ultimately put me in a better financial position that I initially was in prior to the incident. There was also a matter at my work that was launched after these false allegations. He contacted them and ensured that they knew the true situation and ensured that I was amply compensated. And finally, of course, he got all my charges rejected. Within 3 weeks of the accusation, I was cleared with only minimal action being taken on my part as Michael did the rest. Therefore, I highly recommend and endorse Michael for his legal expertise, strong network within Los Angeles, and stellar results. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I was terrified when I received a letter from the Superior Court, charging me with 2 felonies for Welfare fraud. I started looking for an attorney when a friend referred me to Michael Kraut. My friend had a DUI case that was dismissed after hiring the services of Mr. Kraut's Law firm. That was exa...ctly what I needed, have these felonies out of my record. I immediately contacted Mr. Kraut in the middle of the night since I had his cell phone number provided by my friend. I was going to leave a message, but surprisingly, Mr. Kraut answered my call. He scheduled an appointment the next morning. After explaining my case, Mr. Kraut said to me, "I can have those felonies dismissed"... and that's exactly what he did! I was impressed with his connections at the court room! Everybody there knew him and respected him!, including judges!. If you are looking for a champion lawyer, your search ends here! You will be informed of the status of your case, step-by-step. Mr. Kraut is a great negotiator and will find the best possible deal for you as he did for me. I do not have those felonies in my record, Thank you once again Mr. Kraut for doing a great job. I would highly recommend Michael Kraut and his firm.

I was undergoing a domestic abuse case when I called Michael. I had previously paid a lawyer that left me in the dust. My girlfriend had resolved the issues. And inmonths of therapy. But still the law was perusing to take me to court and could loose my job. The law firm of Michael Kraut worked dilige...ntly and tirelessly at my case. With not only me but listening to my girlfriend and out therapist. The case was dropped. I owe my life, relationship, and job to these people. Never any judgement. But clear headed and kind. They are top notch. Forever grateful. Bobby.
