I was very fortunate to have Michael Kraut as my lawyer. Michael Kraut is an outstanding criminal defense lawyer. From the moment I spoke to him on the phone I felt a sense of comfort and relief. He asked the right questions, acted with a sense of urgency from the first moment, he seemed genuinely in...terested in helping me out. Michael Kraut has a good heart, he really cares about people and understands how we are only human and do encounter unfortunate circumstances. I was able to keep a peace of mind because I know that my case was being handled properly. Mike Kraut took the case and even though I could not afford all of his fees at the time he was willing to work something out with me. Mike was very helpful and highly effective in getting the job done. His knowledge and experience in the criminal justice system is amazing. I am forever appreciative of Michael Kraut’s representation and can go on with my life, because of him.

Michael Kraut is capable of working wonders. I had a stupid lapse in judgment that led to the Burbank DA pressing charges against me. Upon receiving the letter stating the charges i was immediately sent into a state of panic. I couldn't believe that i had possibly ruined my life over a few seconds of... stupidity. With a court date approaching quickly, i started searching for help. After much time i decided to call Michael Kraut. When i called i was shocked that he actually answered the phone (i thought someone from his office was going to pick up). He said he was busy in court with a different client, but that he would call me back when he was finished. A few hours later i received a call from Michael, and within two hours of that call i was sitting in his office having a face to face meeting. Needless to say, the meeting was a bit difficult, as i had to explain what i had done and how scared i was (i nearly cried in his office out of fear). Michael assured me that he would be able to help, and that i did not need to torture myself anymore. When i was getting letters of reference from various people, i ran into a bit of a problem. One of the people wanted to be sure of exactly what i had done. Michael quickly contacted this person and explained the situation. The person said that they had a great conversation with Michael, and that they would be more than happy to write a letter for me. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Michael Kraut was able to get the charges reduced from major jail time to community service and counseling. Needless to say, i am relieved. Not only was Mr. Kraut able to help me out in the courtroom, but he also made it so that i can have a productive life, and not have to worry about being able to get a job in the future. If you need help, there is no person better than Michael Kraut.

I met Mr. Kraut after researching many attorneys in the los Angeles area. As an attorney myself practicing civil law, I found myself on the wrong end of a criminal DUI case. From the moment I research Mr. Kraut's reputation as a former prosecutor, I decided that I would meet with him as well as sev...eral other defense attorneys. Once I compared Mr. Kraut to the other attorneys, I decided that he was not only the most professional lawyer I had met with, but he really seemed to care about his clients and understood the impact that a DUI could have on my personal and professional life. The results were no less then amazing and I have referred many other people to Mr. Kraut. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ATTORNEY

I hired Michael Kraut after researching about a dozen of the top criminal defense attorney's in the Los Angeles area. I met with most of those attorneys. As soon as I met Mr. Kraut I knew that not only is he extremely qualified, but as a former prosecutor, he knew the system from the inside. He wa...s compasionate, carying and met with me and my wife numerous times during the time he handled my case. In the end, he was able to lower the charges beyond anything I thought was possible. I had been charged with a DUI and had a blood alcohol level of .19 when the police tested me. Mr. Kraut met with the police and prosecutors, put together a pre-filing package that explained who I really am, and provided verifiable weaknesses in the prosecutions case. I faced loosing my job, and therefore my ability to pay my mortgage, the loss of my driver's license and a criminal record. After Mr. Kraut was finished, none of those bad results occurred.

Michael Kraut was an excellent lawyer to me . I have a felony DUI. I had a 0.08 but instead of just going through the check point I tried to turn around because I was scared. Bad mistake. A officer approach my car at a high speed and crashed into my car. I had been smoking marijuana and was facing up... to a year in prison. Because of his insight and experience he was able to get me off without any jail time. My whole life could have been destroyed. I have to do 30 days community service and 3 months DUI classes. I would have lost everything. My job, my apartment and my self worth. He fought hard for me and was able to help me get my life back. I can not thank him enough. He was very nice and he was very kind to my friend and my father. I would recommend him to anyone because I can not thank him enough for fighting so hard for me.
