Mike Kraut was able to give me a second shot at life. There is no doubt in my mind that my case would've taken a turn for the worse if I didn't hire Mike. Mike was honest and gave it to me straight, but did so in a very empathetic and sympathetic way. He told me all the possible outcomes and that he ...would do his best to get me the best deal and that's just what he did. Mike did not even bother asking me for my opinion on some details because he knew it wasn't good for me, but rather, informed me that he pushed back and explained why he didn't like the deal. By doing so, he protected me from my own emotions and stress that I was under and if he hadn't done that, I might have took a bad deal. He is very level headed and looking back, has a great sense of humor (he uses humor to try to disarm you, which at the time did not work for me because I was stressed beyond imaginable), Mike will fight to get the best deal for you. He responds in a very timely matter and will always make time to discuss details. In the end, he was able to get my case to settle out of court. I was given a second chance at life and it will not be wasted.

Thank You Mr. Kraut!! Michael is hands-down the best attorney in Southern California. From the time I hired him, Michael and team were very aggressive in fighting the charges, which resulted in getting the charges rejected. He is very straight-forward, pro-active, and hard-working. Michael is wel...l respected by his peers and the entire legal community. He treated me with care and integrity through the whole process. I would highly recommend retaining Mr. Kraut to anyone in any sort of legal trouble!!

Michael took on my case during a very dark moment in my life. He clearly explained what my charges were and how he would appeal my case. After consulting with Mike, I had no reservations in allowing him and his team to defend me. I'll let the results speak for themselves. 100 hours of community servi...ce, with practically no fines, and 26 counseling sessions over the course of 1 year. After completion, my case was dismissed and a great weight was lifted off my shoulders. No additional jail time was served. Michael and his team helped me in more ways than I can say, and I'm forever indebted to them. GREAT result!
