We recently used the services of Michael Kraut to defend a DUI case. When we first called him, he called us back the same day and gave us a consultation over the phone with a face to face meeting a few days later. He expanded the DUI process from the DMV and criminal perspectives and what to expect a...nd how he could help. He gave us an overview of the possible outcomes and that he had handled cases like this in the past with favorable outcomes. Our case was a little more complicated than some and he gave us an overview of how he would handle it. He said that he would handle everything and that he would let us know when to be in court. He followed through on this. Once in court, he able to get two of the charges dropped and a good outcome, all things considered, for the single remaining charge. He helped us through a very difficult process and we would use him again if a DUI lawyer was needed.

I hired Michael E. Kraut for an unexpectedly complicated case derived from a completely stupid, mistake. I had been looking at a few different lawyers recommended to me by acquaintances, who would have argued my case by the book and gotten the process over with quickly but painfully like pulling off ...a band-aid; therefore, I very well knew the repercussions of my law infringement. However, when I met with Mike, I realized how motivated and confident he was in working within the system to minimize the blow-back of my momentary act of weakness. Despite my felony charges and an aggressive prosecution, I was able to receive a manageable punishment and probation sentence. Mike is one of the smartest and most dedicated lawyers I have ever encountered. He is able to deal with any challenge that comes his way; even the crotchety probation department. When there was a mix-up in the clerk's office about my probation, the matter went to court the very next day I contacted Mike and was quickly resolved. In conclusion, Mr. Michael Kraut will get you back on track with your life despite your momentary transgressions. Lessons will be learned, but Mike will keep you from the worst of what the criminal justice system was created for.

I recommend you to hire Michael Kraut for your case now! Dont hesitate to call him. Hes always courteous, imformative, educative, knowledgeable and professional with his clients. I hired Mike back in Feb 2013. He took the time to make me feel safe and out of trouble. He gave me the peace of mind that... my DUI case was going to be resolved. He fought for what it was needed and helped me by answering all my questions. His follow up is great. Hes sometimes busy and will call you back. :) Im greatful i found him online and hired his services to represent me. Mike is not an average attorney. Hes a very experienced, honest and straightforward person that is there for you !

While living in Florida, I became aware that there was an outstanding warrant for a family member that was also currently living in Florida. I retained Mr. Kraut as our attorney based on the reviews on this site. I am blessed because so many people took the time to review this lawyer and led me to ...the perfect choice. Because everyone's case it different, I will review what applies to everyone. I left a voicemail with Mr. Kraut explaining my situation and telling him that it was not "time sensitive." I received a callback within 2 hours. I immediately knew I had made the right choice. I never spoke to a secretary or paralegal throughout this process...only Mr. Kraut himself. He kept me informed on the status of our case, which was essential since we lived 3,000 miles away. His exponential legal knowledge and experience allowed him to fight our case without us ever being present. After standing for us at two court dates and arguing our case, all charges were dropped. I am beyond grateful for Mr. Kraut. He put me at ease during a very difficult time when I felt helpless 3,000 miles away. Although I personally hope to NEVER need his services in the future, I am glad that he is there to help those that are in need of legal service. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

I hired Michael Kraut to represent me on 2nd DUI with very harsh consequences according to the law. Michael goes above and beyond to take care of his clients because he really understands that good non criminal people can have their lives destroyed by the law. He got me the bare minimum sentence po...ssible. Without his representation, I could have been in jail for months to a year, lost my job and have my life severely turned upside down. But due to him and his legal talents, I am ok. He took time from his family and weekend to make sure I was treated fairly. I owe him my life and sanity. I honestly feel that I could not have survived this without him. He is well connected in the Los Angeles legal system and people in that system like and respect him. And with that, they are willing to work with him in his representation of his clients. But that is not where his services stops because once sentenced, he does not leave you. He worked to get me out of a very horrible situation in jail and for that I am forever thankful. So if you need legal representation, Michael Kraut is the one you should hire. Look no further...this is your guy. He will be honest with you about the possibilities. He will always respond to your questions. And most importantly, he will go above and beyond to make sure you are treated appropriately in an extremely scary situation imposed by the legal system. The legal system does not always get it right in their prosecution and sentencing but he makes sure they do. I cannot say enough about my thankfulness for his services. I made a severe mistake by driving with alcohol in my system but I can say that without a doubt, I did not make a mistake in my decision to hire Michael Kraut to represent me. Thank you, Michael.
