I came to Michael distraught over two misdemeanor charges I hadn't been able to shake with my former attorney. Like any person who's already placed their trust and future in someone else's hands only to be let down, I was hesitant on going with a change of counsel. It had come down to the wire, with ...my former attorney trying to push a plea deal on me I could not accept that finally pushed me to see Michael. My experience throughout my short time with him is he's direct, no-nonsense, no holds barred type of attorney; and you can best believe that will work in your favor. If you are even the tiniest bit hesitant to go with him, then please be rest assured you have found the right man for the job. I hired Michael on 3 months ago and within that time he has been able to get me a deal where as a long as I complete a program, I will have my case dismissed in May. I was with my former attorney for almost a year and the best deal he got for me was a lesser misdemeanor conviction or go to trial. I am beyond glad I went for that second opinion and put my trust in Michael. It's hard enough going through something as stressful as this, let someone who honestly cares about your future help you. You will not be disappointed.

Michael Kraut is the best criminal attorney that money can buy. It's very difficult to find a good attorney. Mr. Kraut was referred to me by a friend who is a high ranking LAPD officer. Mike is the attorney the department the hardest time getting convictions with. He has a great demeanor, and is ...a straight shooter. He has more contacts and affiliations than any attorney I know. This is very helpful when in front of a judge or next to a prosecutor. He seems to know everyone, from judges, deputy district attorneys, court reporters, to bailiffs. He is adept at looking into the details, and finding a way to get the desired results. He was very reassuring, and the ultimate professional. I was very happy with the way he operates and the outcome for my son who was facing two felony charges. I would definitely use his services again and would recommend him to friends and family.

Michael knows the law and is willing to fight for you and the best outcome. He was always quick to respond to my emails and calls. The past two years were very difficult for me and my family as i was wrongfully charged. However, our trust and confidence in michaels ability to present the true facts g...ot us through this. He is truly a professional and works very hard and does everything he says he will do.

A had been identified as the driver in hit and run complaint. The detective assigned to the case interviewed me over the phone. I knew it was a false complaint, but I didn't seem get that across during the interview. I contacted attorney Kraut two days after the interview. He met with the city a...ttorney before charges were filed and the complaint was dropped. It was resolved very quickly, about three days after the retainer was signed. Michael is available after hours and weekends to answer questions and he projects a confidence that made me feel he was the best choice to represent me. I could not have asked for a better outcome.
