Best possible outcome!

A few years ago, I got into some trouble and made the mistake of using a public defender instead of hiring a professional. As a result, I had probation as well as a criminal record. As someone who has freshly graduated college, having that kind of stuff show up in a background search is absolutely de...vastating for someone trying to start his career. Fortunately for me, I was able to find Mr. Kraut, who was able to get my probation terminated and my record expunged. From the beginning, he was extremely sensitive and understanding of my situation, telling me he would help me get the outcome I needed. Mr. Kraut is an exceptional communicator and always responded to my emails quickly. My only regret is not hiring him sooner, before my case ended in a conviction. Do yourself a favor and get a consultation with him, your case will be in very good hands.

"There's not enough words to describe how amazing Mike is!"

Hi, I'm Lawrence and this is my story( I posted this as well on Google reviews just now and i will post this here as well so many people will be able to see this and realize that Mr.Kraut is the best Lawyer you should have to defend you!). I was in Junior year of my previous High school when things w...ent terribly bad. other students at my school made allegations and false stories about me bringing harm to them and to the school. fast forward to April 13, 2017, I was arrested at school for "Criminal Threats" at the age of 18, I've experienced the feeling of being in jail and the horrible memory of being in that lifeless cell. I was released on a 5k bail by my dad after the whole overnight in Jail. that was not nice at all. my dad and I spent the next few days thinking what could possibly happen ,and what my faith would take me to, if either I'll go to jail or not, since "Criminal threats" is a felony, I was so scared that if I went to jail, my life will never be the same and i will have a record and i may never be able to go to a Nursing or Med school and I was so lost through the whole nightmare of thinking every night where I would end up in, that was just one of the most horrendous and terrifying periods of my life. Also knowing that the gravity of my case was extreme. until we found Michael Kraut and we talked to him. Michael's confidence is amazing and when he says he'll work hard enough to give you the best possible result, you should know he will, because that's what he did for me. I've always been anxious and stressed and often spammed Mike with a bunch of emails thinking i would get an update every second and the direction of my case would shift right away, i was so paranoid. But you have to trust Mike and you have to let him do his work, that's what he does best and he's the best at what he does! it's amazing how fast time went by, 6 months after the whole incident, I could've been thrown in jail and be sentenced to 2 or 3 years in correctional facility, and do God knows what. Michael Kraut changed the very direction of my life. today I'm only under probation for 6 months and my case will be dismissed, all I need to do is stay in school and stay away from trouble, and meet up with my Probation officer whenever necessary. no jail time, no record, nothing. Thank you so much! to you for everything you've done for me,Mike!. and you all need to trust him.

Miracle worker

Michael is nothing short of a miracle worker. He helped me through a very difficult situation. From the moment he answered my call on a weekend on the first ring, I knew I was in good hands. He listened carefully and provided invaluable counsel. He was eminently available and responsive throughout my... case. He has built and maintained relationships throughout the system that give his clients a unique advantage, and which were key in helping me. I could not have asked for a better outcome in my case, and owe it all to Michael. I strongly and wholeheartedly recommend Michael Kraut to anyone who finds themselves in need of a strong and effective advocate.

A Great Criminal Attorney!

Michael was wonderfully responsive to our legal issue. We contacted him on a Sunday of a holiday weekend and he met with us on the late afternoon of Labor Day to discuss the case. He was realistic, giving best and worst case scenarios so that we knew what confronted us. He outlined a plan of action a...nd described it to us so we understood the process. Michael came across as sincere in his desire to seek the best possible outcome. We hired Michael that same meeting. He then worked very quickly to file paperwork and used his network of contacts to ensure a successful outcome. From initial contact to a joyous resolution was 9 days! Hopefully, we will not need attorney services any time in the near future, but if we do, we would not hesitate to contact Michael again.

Call him

I can't be more specific. If you are reading this and need solid advice, call Mr. Kraut. Please do not argue with him or think you know better. He is very short and wants only the facts. Keep it short and sweet when talking to him. He is a family man and has little time for games. He will do all it t...akes to help you.
