I met with Michael during a very difficult time. I had two charges against me and didn't have much hope. He was quick to understand the situation and come up with a game plan. During the meeting he told me to trust my instinct with hiring an attorney. My instinct told me this was the guy I ne...ed and will get me through this. He was excellent during this process. Always responded promptly to my questions. He kept me sane during the most difficult time. AND most importantly executed our plan and brought me justice. I can honestly say he's a phenomenal attorney and great guy. I was proud to have him as my attorney!

Hiring Michael Kraut to defend a friend of mine in a criminal case was a complete success. I did not know anything about Mr. Kraut. He was highly recommended to my friend by an attorney, who is a friend of mine. Although I was not involved in the case I was present, at my friend’s request, in many... of the interviews and conversations with Mr. Kraut. The case went to criminal court and Mr. Kraut was brilliant. Mr. Kraut succeeded 100% in all the issues. After witnessing what he achieved, I highly recommend him to anyone that looks for an exceptional attorney.

I hired Michael Kraut because I was facing some serious charges in California while on vacation from Hawaii. I was charged with a felony and was facing possible jail time and ruining my life over what was an accident. The accident was serious but thankfully nobody was gravely injured and I owned up t...o the mistake that I had wrecklessly made. Micheael walked me through the process of this nightmare of a justice system and was honest from the get go of what I was facing. He said he would put me in the best position possible and that's what he did. It seemed like everything was going against me and that I would end up taking the full felony charge and going to jail for a period of time. Michael somehow got my felony charge dropped to a misdemeanor with 3 years probation and some community service. You don't know how relieved my family and I were to know that I wouldn't have the felony on my record and I wouldn't have to serve jail time in a state where I don't live. Michael did what he said he was going to do and he defended me to the best of his ability, and for that I am grateful!

I would recommend Attorney Michael Kraut to anyone. While his success as a District Attorney and Criminal Defense attorney speaks for itself, my experience seeing him work with my younger sibling enlightened me to his character. I was amazed by not only his professionalism and his expertise but also ...his ethics and his heart. Many people deserve second chances, especially when they make mistakes when they are so young. My sibling deserved a second chance, and Attorney Michael Kraut gave him one. He worked tirelessly to get the charges dropped and end my sibling's nightmare for good. I cannot tell you how thankful my family is for Michael's help. Hiring Attorney Michael Kraut was the best advice any gave us in our time of need. I am happy to pass the advice along to anyone looking for a second chance.

Let me put my bottom line up here: I wouldn’t have taken the service of 3 other attorneys had they offered to work for free. Mike was a valuable investment that gave me a chance to move on in my life. I’m confident that had I gone with any other lawyer, I wouldn’t have walked away without being legal...ly scathed in some way. Pressing charges is fairly easy. Defending yourself from them is another matter entirely. After landing into my first big legal bind, I didn’t know what to expect, or who to contact. There was no room for compromise if I wanted to get out clean. I needed somebody who knew what they were doing. That’s when I started searching online for a solution, where Kraut Law kept showing up in the top of my results. From the moment Mike directly answered my opening call, to the final court appearance, he was always personal and reassuring, but also direct in his thoughts. There was no nonsense, which I greatly appreciated. On some level, Mike is an influential psychologist. He’s also very confident and arrogant, which I’ll argue are positive traits you should want in a lawyer. He can aggressively bulldoze the opposition, play neutral, and make allies on both sides of the bar – all with a good sense of humor. It’s that crucial and measured level of tact, combined with decades of experience, which makes him so qualified as a legal defender. I might have seen some 20 other lawyers plead their case to the court, each one of them verifying that I had made the right choice. By the end of the whole experience, it was clear that like many things in life, the court is just another arena; another game with rules you have to play by. It’s one where you’ll want the best player on your team. Mike and his staff take pride in their work. Unlike many of the other listless lawyers I observed, he hustles to win. Even on days where you might be unsure of the outcome of your case, let Mike drive and do what he does best. Don’t go with other listless attorneys. Take Mike into serious consideration.
