Micheal and his team were great! They were attentive, compassionate, helpful and guided me through the process with ease. The moment I walked into the office, I felt peace and confidence that I was in good hands. I felt comfortable sharing my story with them and felt that they really cared. The team... was positive, friendly and loving. They just wanted to help and so they did. I had 2 charges that were pending and awaiting trial. Michael was always there to answer any questions that I had. Calm me down in times of stress and provide peace of mind when I was in need. Thank you all so much! The end result... The trials were dismissed sooner than expected, the charges were dropped and my record is clean. Wow. I did not expect that but I got it, and I am grateful. I cannot express enough how much they did for me that I really didn’t think was possible and with such ease. It was as if I could just sit back and trust that they would handle it, and they surely did. If I ever need Michael, I trust that he will be there to provide guidance and feedback beyond just an attorney, but as a friend. Thank you all so much for hard work and help. I cannot thank you enough. I would highly recommend Kraut Law Group.

This past year and half has been an excruciating and heart breaking time, I lost my job suddenly for what was the biggest shock of my life while I was the only one working. A month later I got the most disturbing letter of an outrageous accusation from my former employer. I was stressed, distressed, ...to be honest and just plain confused, crying with my wife, trying to make sense of it all. Feeling like I was being extorted and threatened with legal action unless I produce receipts or pay a quarter of a million $($250K). They were looking to destroy my life, my family and my family’s future. We decided to take action before anything had gotten bigger, and a vigorous and wide search started and ended with finding Kraut Law Group. I research and checked all the database of lawyer credentials such as this one to be sure Atty Kraut and his team we're legit, and I then I finally inquired after seeing Atty Kraut's prosecutorial experience in the LA Major fraud division, and Atty Hankoff’s senior defense experience. Believe me, if you have never had to deal with the justice system, you need the best on your side. Boy did I make the best decision possible. Got a call back immediately to get some preliminary information then had an appointment set to discuss in person. Atty Kraut asked me the tough questions and prepared me for a tough fight ahead and gave me the rest assurance after learning of my story. He does not just take anyone on as a client, because of his reputation, he is very selective and my wife and I were glad and grateful when he said “Yes, we can and will help you through this!”. He told what to expect, made sure I was making the right decision, he even asked me and my wife to go to lunch and think of it and make calls as necessary to make the right decision for our lives, because this was a very important one. I come back and we signed the retainer agreement and he immediately contacted them and told them that moving forward they needed to contact him and his office. Which alleviated my stress level. It took a while, since my former employer decided to take their matter to the local police and begin a long investigation, most likely following me around and checking my accounts etc. Then COVID and all this crazy 2020 happened. And then I get a communication from the Sheriff after this whole time that they wanted to speak to me. My stress level as anyone’s would, shot up immediately, my first call was to my Attys. Was again reassured that this was part of the legal/justice system and not to worry, they would find out more details and get back to me. When a date was finally set for the interview/interrogation, my expectations were explained to me and guided me on how it should go and I had a very surprisingly pleasant interview/interrogation with my legal team right there beside me helping me along the way. Again the wait began and I received a letter with a court date since the case was at the District attorneys court, now that the investigation had concluded from the Law enforcement side. This was the climax of my stress levels, imagining all those shows you see on TV. Spoke to the law office immediate and they got a hold of the information right away that it was a premature letter sent, that my case was still in review. I was already preparing for the worst, making plans with my wife and family about a possible long trial and all the grief associated with it. And Atty Hankoff and Atty Kraut did all the communication with the DAs office and Law Enforcement as they always had. Today early in the morning. I get a call from these amazing Attys. Your case has been completely rejected by the DAs office. I am eternally grateful and so is my wife and 4 kids to these Gentlemen.CALL THEM EVEN BEFORE YOU THINK YOU WILL NEED THEM, BEFORE A CASE OR INVESTIGATION. YOU CANNOT PUT A PRICE ON THE BEST TEAM TO GIVE YOU “PEACE OF MIND”. Again a warm thank you to Atty Kraut, Atty Hankoff.

I went home to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She had 2 episodes of 5150 and I wanted to be there for her on her special day. I thought the day was going to be normal. I had a verbal argument with my boyfriend and did not know my daughter was not taking her medications. We did not know she cal...led 911 and the police were in front of my door. The police asked me to come out and I said I wanted to get my N95 mask. He got irritated with me and insisted that I come out without the mask. Next thing I knew I was in handcuffs and was being hauled out to jail. The jailer whispered to me I don't even know why you are here in the first place. I did not have a prior criminal record. I have a pristine record. I did not know what to do. My entire livelihood and reputation were at stake. I was choosing between a cheaper law firm and Mr. Kraut. I met with the family, and I told them I would rather choose a LION than a LAMB. I am so happy I chose correctly and chose the LION in Mr. Kraut's Law Office. Mr. Michael Kraut and his associates worked immediately on my case knowing that I need to get a good job to be on track in supporting my family. Especially during COVID times, this is not the time to lose a job. I am the sole breadwinner in my family. I put my complete trust on Mr. Kraut as I know he will deliver results, especially for the ones in need and are innocent. They initially charged me with felony domestic violence. Mr. Kraut got it down to a misdemeanor. His law office later got it down to an infraction. Now, I dn not have a criminal record and things are right as they should be. Throughout my case, Mr. Daniel Lengeman, who Mr. Kraut has assigned to work on my case, has been very kind and gentle and would inform me of the status of my case. Mr. Daniel Lengeman, just like Mr. Michael Kraut was a former prosecutor. They know how to handle the case and I suggest you put your complete trust in them to do their job and do it well. Mr. Michael Kraut worked behind the scenes and was my little angel. His office is God sent. I will highly recommend you sign up with Mr. Michael Kraut and not hesitate for even one minute. I now have my life back and I couldn't be any happier with them. These people are genuinely capable and compassionate. They went over and beyond my expectations. JOB WELL DONE! Thank you Mr. Michael E. Kraut and Mr. Daniel Lengeman for rebuilding my life, my reputation, and my livelihood. Hire a LION. Hire them. They will get you results and fight for you. Trust them 100%.

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.
