I was arrested for very serious charges in 2014. I’ve never been in jail and I was very scared for the first time. I called my family member and I asked them to find one of the best lawyers in LA. My bail was 1.1 million dollars and I wanted to get out of jail immediately and Michael informed my pare...nts if we can wait for little bit he would help us to save our money and drop the charges. Michael ended up dropping some of my charges and I have received only probation when I was expecting to go to prison for at least few years. Michael helped me to finish probation early from 5 years to two and half and also he helped me to expunge my record. He saved my life and helped me to start a new life. He is a wonderful, intelligent and the best criminal defense lawyer I’ve ever encountered in my life. I can honestly say if you hire Michael Kraut you are making the best choice in your life. Thank you Michael for helping me to start my life! If it wasn’t you I would be in prison right now. I appreciate you so much.

Michael Kraut was hired to represent a family member by myself and my husband. From the first phone call, I understood the level of professionalism, experience, and support I would have with him as our attorney. Michael was dedicated and determined to get the facts, obtain the research, and move the ...case forward to get the truth. I was very lucky to have not only his assistance but his support through a very difficult time for my family.

If you are looking for a "nice" lawyer, you may want someone else. BUT if you need a good lawyer, a professional, he is the one. I was arrested for a domestic violence case. It may be less critical compared to other felony cases, but it was critical enough to complicate my situation given my immig...ration status. I had called a lot of lawyers for consultation - I had to either talk to the assistant or leave a voicemail. I was very frustrated because I did not get any calls back from those lawyers. But Mr. Kraut called back. I made an appointment right away and went to his office the next day. In less than five minutes, I immediately knew that he had a lot of experience and that he loves his job. He walked me (and my husband who was on speakerphone) through the process and listed out possible consequences, etc. He was constantly reassuring and confident. Again, in less than an hour after signing a contract, he and his staff was able to figure out exactly where my file was and what to do to make my case rejected. And he did. I’m very thankful to him - words cannot describe.

Thank you Michael for all your hard work! He had my case dismissed! He fights for you! The first day I came into his office I immediately felt comfortable and trusted him on handling my case and decided to hire him right then and canceled the other consultations I had scheduled. Whenever we spoke (m...e always being worried about the case) he always comforted me and said not to worry.

Mike Kraut was exactly what I needed for my case. He went to bat for me from the moment I walked into his office and was consistent with his work ethic and communication. He was able to get me the best possible outcome for my case, one that I never even imagined was possible. I felt completely comfor...table with him beside me in the courtroom and knew that he had my back 100%. Thanks a million Mike!!
