Michael Kraut is simply an amazing lawyer! My professional career would have stopped if it wasn't for Michael's firm and Michael. I was not arrested, thanks to him and to his quick thinking and involvement. He is very responsive, personable, and hard working. I called him several times about my case..., maybe more then I should have, but I was nervous. Either he or someone from his Law Group helped me out with every issue I had. They responded to every inquiry I had about my case either in person, via email, or phone. I was able to work while he was fighting for my rights, and never had to go to court. He kept me informed when I was out of this country; he kept up with every detail of my case. He got me a good deal, one I never imagined. Good job Michael. I highly recommend his services; he and his group will take care of you when you need them. I am still in the clouds with what Michael was able to accomplish for me. Thank You Michael

The Kraut Law Group is the only criminal legal team within the Los Angeles area you need to retain. I was recently in an unfortunate situation a few weekends ago. I was the victim and attacked by a security officer while being attacked by a confrontational group all at the same time. Ironically,... the police officers sided with the other group due their sheer number of witnesses, and the police officers were not interested in hearing my side of the story. I was heavily pepper-sprayed (eyes/neck/body/chest with burning sensations), assaulted, and battered in several areas of the face and hands, and was even threatened by one of the police officers that if I did not move away from the scene I would be arrested. Fortunately, I has the presence of mind to move back and sit in one of the vehicles my friend drove, thus I was not arrested. However on the police report card that was given to my female friend, one of the officers wrote down that I was being investigated for a battery charge, and not the other group. Not knowing what to do next, I consulted with family, and after interviewing with a few attorneys via telephone, I was able to directly meet with Attorney Michael Kraut in his office on such short notice and on a Sunday. Let me just say this. He is highly experienced professional criminal attorney who has served as a District Attorney for the city of Los Angeles for over 14-15 years. To this day, I cannot believe Attorney Kraut was willing to take my call the following day (Sunday), and also be willing to meet me in his Sunset office for the consultation. He thoroughly went over all the details after I explained my situation, and going with my gut-feeling, I knew Michael Kraut was the attorney to hire. He gladly spoke with a trusted family member of mine, and explained to him all the details and how crucial it was for me to make a decision since we were pressed for time in my particular case. I made the decision to hire Attorney Michael Kraut to represent me on a pre-filing investigation legal service. Meaning, he had the connections and the know-how to quickly identify and consult with the assigned City/District Attorney regarding my incident from the police report which was obviously going to be one-sided in favor of the other party. The Kraut Law Group was successfully able to investigate, consult, and represent my case before law enforcement and prosecution agencies concerning a battery charge based on his recommendations and details. Thus this file was not filed AT ALL. This was only something Attorney Kraut could have done with his extensive years of experience and relationships. I highly recommend consulting with him. At the very least, you will walk away with more information. However, I am highly confident that once you meet with him, you will know that he is the attorney you will want on your side for any matter. I can honestly say that he saved my life. My professional licenses were on the line, and he not only took the time to hear my side of the story, but from the start of the consultation, he took the time to get to know me as a person. He is one of those rare attorneys that care about his clients, and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. Mr. Kraut is the go-to professional, and the most highly-effective criminal attorney in Los Angeles if you want your case to be handled by the right attorney and group. Thank you again Attorney Michael Kraut. I will definitely tell others who may or may not need your services about what you have done for me and my family. Simply incredible. An amazing attorney.

When I came to Michael Kraut, after having drunkenly totaled my car, he promised me that he would ensure that this episode in my life would be nothing more than a “serious learning experience,” as a first time offender. I am happy to say that Michael came through for me in a big way. In almost over a... year of litigation, Michael managed to negotiate a fair deal for me that allowed me to move forward with my life without having made any permanent damage to career. During the process, Michael and his staff were always very responsive and helpful. Whenever I approached Michael with a question or concern, he always got back to me, that day, to ensure that I stayed informed and clearly understood what was going on in my case. Michael is not an attorney that will hold your hand through the process and nor will he sugarcoat it. However, given his experience as a former district attorney, his specialization in DUI related criminal litigation, and his great client communication, Michael is the best attorney, in Los Angeles, to ensure that your DUI-related case reaches its best possible conclusion.

I committed an act that was not a DUI but can ruin families and careers. When I called Michael Kraut I was scared and breaking down.It was my first time ever being arrested.  He told me to meet him and would not discuss it over the phone, this showed he cares about the people in the case and not just... the fees. We talked and he felt he was going to represent me. I honestly let him know I couldn't afford an attorney of his caliber....he responded with setting me up on monthly payments. This allowed me to live and work and have an elite criminal defense attorney represent me. He showed up in court and I never had to miss work. He contacted me through email and phone. Keeping me up to speed. He asked for things from me that I wonder why at the time, but this man was at work doing what he does best. My case was at a courthouse most attorneys said was very difficult as they were severe towards offenders. Michael never batted an eye.  We knew what the ideal outcome was but he prepared me for all circumstances. Today as I paced back and forth he calls me asking for final details and says stay by your phone. Few hrs later. .he calls......the DA supposed "deal" (life and career ruining) was not what I got. The ideal outcome is what he got me...I HAVE A SECOND LEASE ON LIFE!!!! Instead of hearing convicted..i heard dismissed Thank you Michael Kraut for all you do...I can't thank you enough! Although I n hope to never need his services, I recommend Kraut law group to anyone in need!!
