I was given Mike's phone number by a friend, who told me to give him a call.After speaking with multiple attorneys, who really didn't seem to care,or had the knowledge about the situation. Facing multiple felonies, I felt as if I had nothing to loose.I realized I still had Mike's number, so I gave h...im a call.I explained to him my situation which he listened very carefully, as we conversated Mike said very comfortable"I can help you". I met with Mike the next day, I was greeted by his staff who are ALL very friendly and knowledgeable.Mike was hired,and I was confident with my decision. Mike knows the law, and knows it well.I felt elated after leaving his office,now knowing I have in my opinion the best attorney in California.With that being said,Mike didn't disappoint.He was able to produce in the courtroom the outcome we wanted,ALL FELONIES DISMISSED! I'm glad I made that call, Mike is excellent at what he does ! He's truly the best attorney in California.

If you're in charged with a criminal allegation in Los Angeles, retain Michael Kraut immediately! He is hands-down the best criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles! I recently had the misfortune of being falsely accused of a very serious crime. It was imperative I retain the best legal representat...ion available and fast. I felt my entire life was over. I was facing a loss of career, a loss of reputation, and most important a loss of freedom. The stress was enormous, but Michael came to the rescue immediately after I hired him. Michael knows the system well and understands where to apply the most effort in order to be effective. He gave me clear instructions regarding what I had to do to beat this thing. All charges against me were rejected by both the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office and the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. No matter what, you must follow his instructions to the letter. I cannot thank Michael enough for this result and am eternally in his debt. When I first called Michael, he was very comforting and told me there was a way out of this. I just needed to follow his lead and do what he said. I know from first-hand experience that feelings of uncertainty and fear can cloud one’s judgment and even prevent one from sometimes doing everything that one is told to do. You must absolutely listen to Michael and everything he says to do. It may seem sometimes that you’ll want more explanation or that you don’t understand, but it’s important to trust him. Throughout our time together, I called him and he fixed things for me and very quickly. I don’t know how but he did. For example, there was a party that wouldn’t meet with me – he called them and reassured them that I was not dangerous. There was another matter in another city that was damaged because of the matter in Los Angeles. He coordinated there and put me in a much better position. He advised me regarding how I could stand up for my rights in other areas and helped me build a case to that effect, which may ultimately put me in a better financial position that I initially was in prior to the incident. There was also a matter at my work that was launched after these false allegations. He contacted them and ensured that they knew the true situation and ensured that I was amply compensated. And finally, of course, he got all my charges rejected. Within 3 weeks of the accusation, I was cleared with only minimal action being taken on my part as Michael did the rest. Therefore, I highly recommend and endorse Michael for his legal expertise, strong network within Los Angeles, and stellar results. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

About 2 months ago I got into a bit of trouble. No need to go into the details aside from saying it was a combination of me being stupid with someone falsely accusing me of something. Anyway when things calm down I was able to get ahold of Michael. By the time I talked to him I've already spoken with... five or six Attorneys at Great length. True, Michael was very assertive on the phone. But he knows his stuff! He was not demanding nor was he unprofessional or pushy in anyway. He is an absolute professional that is incredibly connected with people he needs to be. He acted swiftly and aggressively and with integrity He told me to just trust him and let him do his thing. Which he did! He took care of all I needed to get done. Yes, possibly a bit pricier than the others I spoke to. However, in hindsight I don't think I would be this comforted if I had chose anyone else. I would very very highly recommend Michael anytime you or your loved ones get in trouble. And absolute Rockstar lifesaver.

Michael is a pro. He is an assertive, professional and extremely efficient attorney. I hired Michael in regards to a misdemeanor, vandalism charge. Michael was handled with respect and care in the downtown LA court system. He provided precisely the outcome he predicted, kept himself available for... all of my communications and concerns. I highly recommend Michael.
