I hired Michael Kraut and his team to help with my DUI case. It was a really bad situation because in addition to getting pulled over for my DUI, I also was speeding. Michael assured me that he would take care of me and make sure this DUI didn't go on my record. From our first contact I knew I wanted... to go with him above the other lawyers I had consulted with. Michael not only had clearly superior reviews online, but also had an INCREDIBLE office with views, awards all over the place, and a wonderful energy. It was a very positive experience, and he did it all with a smile. When we won the case and got the result we wanted of NO DUI, I couldn't believe my ears. I guess just another day at the office for these guys! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I found Michael Kraut in desperation! The first attorney did not help me with my charges of Felony DUI. It took 2 years of hard work By Michael Kraut and Anthony Rios. The outcome was beyond great! Not only did they reduce my charge from a Felony to a Misdemeanor it saved my professional 30 year... career! They were prompt, kind, considerate, and displayed complete professionalism. Every cent I spent was well worth it and I would definitely hire Michael Kraut. Thank You again !

Mike Kraut's law firm treats you like a winner, and a great human being. They were like family, making sure that I put everything in perspective. Mike's technical knowledge and great competence gives him the winning edge. Robert, and Mike the office manager are so cool and great at what they do, that... the whole office's winning and intense positive attitude totally rubbed off on me. I am a better person for having met the whole team. Once I handed over the case to them, there was no more anxiety after that. Could not praise them enough. Professionalism all the way and old fashioned service!

In August of 2018 I was involved in a domestic violence incident and FALSLEY accused of holding an elderly family member at knifepoint. Despite the fact that I never did this, I was arrested and charged with two felonies: elder abuse and assault with a deadly weapon. As I’ve NEVER been in trouble wi...th the law before, after being bailed out of jail, I stupidly hired the first attorney I was referred to. Huge mistake. After several court appearances, this attorney not only wasn’t doing anything for me but was leading me straight into a trial and/or a conviction of both felonies. So I sat down and did some real research and after thoroughly reading about several criminal defense attorneys, I called Michael Kraut. I was very pleasantly surprised that he answered the phone himself and less than 24 hours later I was in his office explaining my somewhat complex and complicated case and why I was seeking a new attorney. Mr. Kraut is pleasant but also a no BS, “just the facts ma’am”, shoot straighter. He will listen to you but he doesn’t want unnecessary elaboration regarding your case. I chose to hire him on the spot because he convinced me he would aggressively fight for me, and he does have a 14 year previous history as a prosecutor; he knows how the other side works. He knows the judges and ADA’s and it is clear he has a fabulous track record as a criminal defense attorney. He and the Kraut Law Group took my case, despite it being a difficult case between two close family members who live in the same house. He aggressively attempted to get me a mental health diversion; he subpoenaed pharmacies for their records and subpoenaed my doctor to testify in court on my behalf. He read countless long emails I wrote him, and while his responses to my concerns were short, he always answered me extremely quickly and acknowledged my concerns. He met with me in his office to address my concerns of potential judicial and prosecutorial bias. During the hearing with my doctor he objected repeatedly as the prosecution stated complete, unproven falsehoods about me and demanded to break doctor-patient confidentiality. He assertively requested repeatedly that after months of being kept out of my home due to a court-ordered restraining order, the judge lift the restraining order. Although I was not granted a mental health diversion, I feel extremely lucky Michael Kraut was my attorney because both the judge and the prosecutor honestly seemed to want me to spend 4 years in state prison or at the very least I was going to end up with two felonies which would ruin my life. After only 3 court appearances, Mr. Kraut finally convinced the judge to lift the restraining order, and let me go home after spending 5 months in hotels and at people’s houses, and the very best part is that Mr. Kraut got me a great plea deal with only ONE misdemeanor for elder abuse (which eventually will be expunged from my record) and three years’ probation. Considering the prosecution wanted a much, much harsher sentence for me, and I have NEVER had anything more than a traffic ticket before this, I feel LUCKY BEYOND BELIEF that I received such a great deal. Michael Kraut will fight for you and not back down. He’s a brilliant man and is a man of integrity and honesty. Yes he’s often blunt, his emails are short, but he does care about you as a person. He made it clear to me he cared very much what happened to me. He is a man with a warm, caring heart. I highly recommend if you find yourself in serious trouble and need a criminal defense attorney, do yourself a favor and call Michael Kraut. You will be very glad you did, I assure you.
