He is a great attorney. He took care of us and did a great job. Answer all our questions and explain everything in detail. In a time that we needed so much guidance. I recommend him to anyone that's looking for a professional and kind at the same time. We are so grateful he could help with our case....

Michael Kraut is an excellent attorney. We heard that Michael is a very well-respected attorney, so we hired him to be our son’s lawyer. Michael helped our son avoid suspension of his driver license after a DUI and after accumulating too many points in one year. We liked everything that Michael an...d his legal team did for us: from providing great legal defense for our son at all his trials, to keeping us informed on what was happening with the Courts and DMV. Michael and his team did a great job. We couldn’t have done it without Michael’s exceptional legal experience and assistance. Thanks to Michael, our son is driving now.

After calling around frantically to many attorneys we decided to hire Michael Kraut who has a very impressive amount of experience and is very well connected, honestly don't even waste your time calling around Michael is an outstanding ethical attorney who has your best interest! My daughter was arre...sted and being charged with a felony and a misdemeanor with attempting to obtain a controlled substance and fraud, without going into too much detail let me just say this it was well worth the money spent! He is a straight forward type of guy and returned every call within minutes, kept us informed the whole way and 3 weeks later he called us to tell us the charges were rejected! He is without a doubt the best attorney in Los Angeles/Long Beach.

Everyone makes mistakes. Not everyone gets a second chance. When I came to Michael I was an off the wagon alcoholic who had just committed a hit-and-run felony. Knowing full well that if I did not act quickly my once bright future would be a thing of the past, I called the best-rated, most dist...inguished criminal defense attorney I could find: Michael Kraut. Although it was a Saturday morning, Michael called me back promptly and scheduled me for a consultation at his office later that day. At the consultation, I was impressed by Michael’s transparency and non-judgmental attitude. He calmly and succinctly explained to me the significance of what I had done, as well as what he would do to get the charges dropped. While making it clear though no one can see the future, Michael provided an idea of how long the process would take (about six months); what it would be like (slow, painful); and what I should do in the interim (be patient, get my life back on track). So, after both hearing about Michael’s significant experience as a prosecutor and seeing evidence of his recent success in defending a case just like mine, I retained him. Between arriving at and leaving from Michael’s office, I experienced a profound, emotive shift in perspective – my hope had returned. Over the next few weeks, I kept in touch with Michael via email. His response time was quick, and I got the sense that he really was doing everything he could for me. Months went by without a significant development in my case, but Michael was there with me each and every step of the way. Then it happened. As Michael predicted, he was able to stop everything just six months after I hired him. Today, my criminal record is clean, my career is intact, and I couldn’t be happier. In one sense, it’s as if this whole thing never happened. But in another, more important sense, nothing could be further from the truth: I haven’t touched alcohol since the day I almost ruined my life. Thanks, Michael, for giving me a second chance. I won’t waste it.
