Professional in his Trade

Michael Kraut was incredibly professional, effective and responsive during my time working with him. My family contacted Michael on a Saturday and he responded immediately despite the fact that it was a weekend and he was spending time with his family. He then made sure to get all of the background i...nformation he needed and he continued to closely monitor my case throughout the process. Michael was easy to reach and made sure that I stayed calm and in good spirits throughout the proceedings. Because he has spent so much time in this profession he also seemed to know a lot of people at the courthouse and was very knowledgeable generally, which also helped put me at ease. Michael ended up achieving a result better than I had hoped for and I can’t thank him enough.

Felony dropped to misdemeanor.

If you're looking for an attorney, the search stops here. God bless Mr. Kraut and his family. Where shall I begin? Prior to obtaining Kraut's services for a felony which I felt I was wrongfully charged, I had hired and fired a clown of an attorney. Needless to say, he was a complete waste of mone...y and advised me to take the felony charge or go to prison. Which at that point, I could tell he gave up the fight for me and I knew I needed to seek help elsewhere. Fast forward to meeting Mr. Kraut, I explained my situation and automatically felt at ease and more confident in my case. At no point did he guarantee me anything but, if there was a way to drop the felony he was going to find it. So here we are today with the final outcome, I got the felony dropped to a misdemeanor , I get to keep my job, continue to raise my child and only 45 days of community labor. Honestly, if we would have taken it to the box, I believe we would have won but I did not want to risk my freedom, and I was happy for the process to be over. Thank you Mr. Kraut, you will forever represent me in any legal matter.

An honest review

Hiring an attorney is tough. Hiring the right attorney is even tougher. In the sea of criminal lawyers its hard to differentiate the best lawyer for yourself. I too had the struggle of figuring out which lawyer would work best for my case. I was arrested for some serious life altering allegations. I ...was scared, shocked, and confused on my allegations. I must of interviewed over 13 lawyers and being an analyst made me overanalyze every lawyer. Every lawyer can claim he or she is best representation for your case. Before meeting with Mr. Kraut I read all 241 reviews. Yes. every single one of them. When I met with Mr. Kraut we spoke about my case and the importance of time in retaining a lawyer for my allegations. Mr. Kraut seemed confident that he would be able to dismiss my case. But after speaking to over 13 lawyers I was skeptical. Only 3 out of 13 claimed that they 'might' be able to dismiss my case. So my chances were slim to begin with. Most lawyers just want to settle anyways. Its easier and less work for them. But Mr. Kraut emphasized he would be able to dismiss my case and my gut feeling was telling me to give him a chance. I signed the paperwork and let God take its course. Within the first few minutes after signing he started working on my case. We stayed 2-3 hours past office hours and immediately attacked my case. The next day he was able to put together a concise package for the DA and detective. A week later I received a call from Mr. Kraut saying he was able to get my case dismissed. I was shocked and stunned. I didn't think it was possible but it happened. Michael Kraut is a very skilled attorney. His background as a DA for 13-14 years and his experience in several years of handling criminal cases, not only makes him one of the best attorneys but an attorney that will fight for you. You cannot put a price on freedom.

White Collar

I can not express the gratitude I have towards Michael and his team! I am so grateful I came across his firm when I was in need from the services of a good attorney. Don't be fooled by him not responding to every single question you have, he will always keep it short because he will not worry you wit...h unnecessary information but he will work hard to help you! I put all my faith on him and he truly came through for me. My case was a little complicated and I was offered 2 to 4 years in prison! Michael fought hard to reduce that time, he never gave up on my case. From 2 to 4 years he worked out a plea deal and that time was reduced to 90 days which I only did maybe 20 hrs! I am extremely happy with the results! I can finally put all this behind me and live my life again! Michael thank you so much!
