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.

This year has been horrible and it would’ve ended that way if it wasn’t for Michael Kraut. The peace of mind he gave my family & I is something I’ll forever be grateful for. I was arrested and was facing a felony charge which would resulted with me getting deported. Not only did Michael pick up my ca...ll at night, he was the 1st lawyer I spoke to who was confident he could get my charges dropped...and he did! Within 2 weeks of hiring him! Other lawyers I had spoken to were already telling me to preparefor an immigration case in addition to a criminal one, but not Michael and his team. They work tirelessly to get you the best possible outcome. Can’t thank him and his team enough!! If you’re in need of help, CALL HIM. It made the difference between spending the holidays in jail or home with family for me. He’s a terrific lawyer and wonderful human being!!!

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.

We recently found a family member in a very serious legal situation. Because this problem overlapped a previous problem, we knew we needed an excellent attorney. After much searching we found our answer--Michael Kraut. This man listened intently, gave us carefully laid out plans for the process and t...he hope of a lifetime. He immediately went to task and answered any questions we had. He was always there when we needed answers and knew what to say even when we felt unsure. It was uncanny how he unraveled the whole case which could have ended our family member's life due to the felony for which he was being accused. I think being a family man he understood how we felt with the agony of the case. Also we were not Los Angeles natives and had no resources or legal familiarity, a natural fear being in an area where we knew little of the surroundings. But hiring Michael Kraut was the best decision we could have made and a blessing for which we forever will be thankful. E.P.
