Mike's team was very professional and timely in their response to my needs. He explained the process and the best plan/approach for success and then kept me informed throughout the entire process while the process unfolded. Mike's team delivered the results we had discussed in the same time fram...e we discussed. As I had questions about the process and procedures, Mike would get back to my queries and explain the important and less important phases of the process. He has relationships in the DA's office of the case we worked on and definitely was able to shift the case to a court / judge he was familiar with. I believe this was critical to dismissal of charges.

I would highly recommend Mike if you or a family member are facing a legal challenge. He’s bright, knowledgeable, forceful and responsive. Most importantly, Mike thankfully delivers positive results. Mike successfully arranged a pre-filing diversion program for our child after a recent legal skirmish.... This was the best possible outcome we could have hoped for. Mike was responsive and took quick action to help medicate the matter. When we were originally contemplating his services, Mike took the time to answer all of our questions in a calm and confident fashion. Most importantly, he ultimately did what he said he was going to do. Mike is a consummate professional but he does have a great sense of humor which can help during tense times. As a family, we feel fortunate that we chose Mike to represent our interests. Good luck with your particular challenge.

I was arrested for a serious alcohol related trouble late last year . For someone like myself, it was a huge shock and a very stressful event because I have never been in trouble before or even had the slightest intention to jeopardize myself with the law. After interviewing over 10 attorneys, my ins...tinct told me to keep on looking. I stopped when I found Michael Kraut. He was very different than other attorneys because he insisted on an initial meeting in person while other attorneys will just accept a case over the phone. During our meetings and communications, he took the time to learn about my entire situation and advised me on an ongoing basis. He gave me confidence due to his respectful, trustworthy and professional demeanor as well as his experience and relationships with others in the court system.

I'm sure if you are reading this you've seen better days and are desperate to find the best possible representation you can. That was my situation a couple months ago. Because of an argument and roll of the dice with my telling my girlfriend to call the police to get me to leave, I ended up getting... arrested on felony domestic charges. Apparently that's sort of a mandatory thing he in LA. I had no idea how I ended up in this situation let alone who I could call to help tell our story. This was easily the most stress I've had in my 37 years, the charges for these sorts of crimes are VERY serious. I actually ended up finding the Avvo site during my research and found a number of criminal defense attorneys that specialized in this area of law. I called and spoke to 3 attorneys and met 2 in person. I can tell you now that I was even more terrified after speaking to some of these people and that some of these attorneys will make you understand the stereotypes associated with the profession. I ended up meeting with Michael last and knew immediately that I wanted him in my corner. He was extremely professional, understanding, and went over and above from the moment I stepped into his office to help get things resolved. Michael let me know that we could be together through this process for 4-5 months. He was actually able to work with the detectives and DA to get the charges dropped, within about 3 weeks of my walking into his office! I can't say enough about his knowledge of law, experience, and network within the Los Angeles Court system. Thank you Michael!!!

I got arrested in for a DUI during a music festival, was partying a lil bit too hard that weekend and got pulled over with a .19 BAC which included some other illegal substances in my blood. I was FREAKING OUT!! Could not sleep, worried about my job, worried about going to jail, high fines, and a pub...lic record bc of the high BAC etc and I live in LA county. I called 10 attorney's in the hopes of rolling the dice and finding someone good, got referred to Mike by a friend who said he never takes no and never quits on you. I called him and he said I had to come on and talk face to face not like the other shame lawyers, who just wanted my money and hand it off. We spoke he talked me down and explained the entire process, was concered bc of the extra substances in my BAC but said ti would take time but he would do all he could to figure it out. Well, after a few months of going back and forth with the court, he was able to get the BAC down .08 and a first time DUI, no jailtime and 3months DUI program. I still don't fully understand how he was able to do all he did. But I am SOOO thankful, he saved my life, me money and he fought for me unlike anyone else I could have imaged.
