I was arrested for a serious alcohol related trouble late last year . For someone like myself, it was a huge shock and a very stressful event because I have never been in trouble before or even had the slightest intention to jeopardize myself with the law. After interviewing over 10 attorneys, my ins...tinct told me to keep on looking. I stopped when I found Michael Kraut. He was very different than other attorneys because he insisted on an initial meeting in person while other attorneys will just accept a case over the phone. During our meetings and communications, he took the time to learn about my entire situation and advised me on an ongoing basis. He gave me confidence due to his respectful, trustworthy and professional demeanor as well as his experience and relationships with others in the court system.

Michael Kraut has been a God-send to me. My case was very unusual involving blackmail and extortion covering more than one state. He has been forthright, informative, knowledgeable and very reassuring to me. He quoted me his fee and told me that if it takes 4 days or 4 months, that would be his fe...e. Well, one year later, my case is still active and he has never asked me for any more money. He has been available to me nights and weekends. He said he would stay on this case for as long as it takes and he has lived up to his word. He responds to phone calls and emails promptly in spite of time zone differences. I have never talked to a paralegal or secretary, only to Mike. His expertise and advice in my case has been spot-on. I had used several other attorneys in my case who did not always give me the best advice. Even when I didn't think Mike was giving me the best advice, in the end, it turned out that he was always right. I highly recommend Michael Kraut to anyone in need of an intelligent, honest and candid attorney.

I hired Michael Kraut after calling around to lawyers in the Los Angeles area. I scheduled many consultations but no one made me feel as comfortable as Mike did. His entire demeanor, knowledge, experience and overall ability to personally relate my decision a no brainer. I was extremely distraught ab...out the entire situation as I was going into my senior year of college. I was charged with a drunk in public and resisting arrest charge and I knew that if I didn't obtain proper representation that these charges would ruin my chances of getting a good job. Many lawyers made me promises that I knew shouldn't have made and quite frankly probably wouldn't have been able to be kept; however, I had my full trust in Mike. We kept constant conversation and he kept my mind at ease throughout the entire process. I vividly remember speaking with Mike on the 3rd of July 2013 while he was on vacation and he answered the phone and spoke with me. I don't know many people that would do that. He went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process and we achieved the result we aimed for. The charges were later dismissed and I got my dream job out of college which required an extensive background check for which I passed. Although the case has been dismissed for almost a year now, Mike always answers his phone/email immediately to answer any questions I've had. I also referred him to a friend that was charged with a DUI because I know Mike is the best and only option you should consider!

We recently used the services of Michael Kraut to defend a DUI case. When we first called him, he called us back the same day and gave us a consultation over the phone with a face to face meeting a few days later. He expanded the DUI process from the DMV and criminal perspectives and what to expect a...nd how he could help. He gave us an overview of the possible outcomes and that he had handled cases like this in the past with favorable outcomes. Our case was a little more complicated than some and he gave us an overview of how he would handle it. He said that he would handle everything and that he would let us know when to be in court. He followed through on this. Once in court, he able to get two of the charges dropped and a good outcome, all things considered, for the single remaining charge. He helped us through a very difficult process and we would use him again if a DUI lawyer was needed.

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 !
