I had been arrested and wrongly charged with a felony. It was the scariest position I have ever been in my whole life. My entire career was at stake plus my ability to stay in the United States was in the balance. Through the actions of another person my whole future was at stake. I had no one to hel...p as I was completely alone. I knew I had to seek legal help to resolve my situation. I hadn’t had anything to eat for days and was suffering from panic attacks and severe anxiety. In short I was a total wreck. I went online and in desperation booked an appointment with an attorney who I thought I could help. I sat in front of an adviser (not an actual attorney) I handed over a retainer and received quite possibly the worst advice I could ever had got for my money. The advice I received was so potentially damaging that the outlook of my situation was very grim. All hope was lost until I decided to look out there for help. I went online and found Mike’s information and decided to give him a call. He answered straight away! Not a secretary or an assistant but Mike himself. He was just coming out of court having won a case and he spoke to me about my situation and gave me his full attention. I was terrified as I said before and hadn’t eaten for days. Mike immediately knew the situation I was in mentally and physically and was such a calming force. Through all of this he was the only person I felt was truly on my side. I went to his office the same day as he arranged to see me straight away. He walked into the office and immediately shook my hand and went and got me some chocolates for energy and a box of tissues! I immediately felt secure and in the right hands. Before we stared he made sure I ate at least three chocolates to get my energy levels up! Mike genuinely cares about your welfare. Mike stopped all my fears and anxiety in their tracks. He talked me through my case and I immediately hired him. I knew I was in good hands, leagues ahead of the last attorney in every way! Just a total different class! Mike is extremely well connected and knows everyone. He even made a few calls while I was sat there to help resolve my case! Mike worked on my case instantly and was always available every call, every email it’s unbelievable. I even recently got in a situation where someone was trying to break into my house (linked to the case) and Mike answer my call late at night as it was an emergency. Gave me excellent advice AND checked up on me the following next few nights! Words cannot express how grateful I was! Mike recently defended me in court and I have to say I haven’t seen anything like it in my life! This man is truly at the top of his game. From the moment he walked into court he controls the room and usually knows everyone in there! He kept me calm directed me through the process and won the case despite the odds being severely out of our favor. I was truly stunned! My advice is to hire this man! Do not hesitate. Look no further and DO NOT WASTE MONEY ELSEWHERE!!! He is the best in his game and I am first witness to this. He has truly saved my life and gave me the future back that was almost ripped away from me. He goes absolutely above and beyond where he needs to and it is a pleasure to know him. I will say again do not hesitate, look no further and hire him! That is the best advice I could ever give another person in a traumatic potentially life changing situation.

I hired Attorney Mike Kraut and I'm am so happy and grateful that I did! I was arrested for a DUI because my BAC level was over the .08 limit. I did not know what to do as I have never had a DUI or let alone got arrested before. It was a very scary experience. My friends told me to hire an attorney a...nd I was referred to someone "who knew a good attorney" and went with it because I had no idea what else to do. After a few months of going back and forth with that attorney he asked me to plead guilty to a DUI with 3 months of classes and probation. That did not sit well with me. I did not want a DUI on my record and did not want it to affect my career. That attorney was extremely hard to get a hold of and out of frustration I started looking for other attorney's to take on my case. I was introduced to attorney Mike Kraut through a friend. My friend called him and explained to him what was going on with my case and that I was looking into hiring someone else. The very next day I met Attorney Kraut and he was very confident that he could help me. He reassured me that he would communicate with me as he knew that was a major issue I had with the previous attorney. So I decided to have Mr. Kraut take on my case and since he knew that I had already spent a good amount on my previous attorney he gave me a really good deal, even less than what I paid the previous attorney. Attorney Kraut made me feel more comfortable and at ease. He answers all his own calls and emails. Sometimes it's better to get a hold of him through email, and although they might not be very detailed he will let you know what's going on and what you need to do. He won't hold your hand through the whole process as he is a busy man, but he gets things done! I ended up getting a wet and reckless instead of a DUI. I still have to do some classes and I'm on probation, but I do not have a DUI on my record. This was a big relief as my career is extremely important to me. I even called him a month after my case was settled because I had questions about a background check for graduate school and he answered all my questions and didn't even charge me for it! I am extremely grateful for attorney Kraut! I was able to see a huge difference between the first attorney that I hired and Attorney Kraut. If you have a DUI hire Attorney Kraut, he definitely knows his stuff!

I don't have enough words to praise Michael Kraut. I was accused of a White Collar complicated crime in Los Angeles. I felt paralyzed and without hope with the "allegations" and "fabrications" throw at me. After discussing my situation with several Lawyers and 5 days prior to my Indictment, I go...t in touch with Michael Kraut. He was firm, very personable and took the time to hear my side of the story. Thanks to Mr. Kraut's excellent reputation with Law Enforcement he was able to obtain time to prepare my defense. He was always available for me in the phone, thru the ups and downs of the case. He was able to show real facts to Authorities instead of fabricated speculation and obtained a Full Dismissal of the case without even getting to Court. Michael gave me back my life and I proudly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong Defense.

I was up on burglary charges and started to think I had no hope. Then I met Mike Kraut. There aren't enough words I can say about what a great lawyer and a great person Mike Kraut is. I had hired another lawyer prior to Mike Kraut, only to find that not all lawyers are created equal. My first law...yer took my money, and I barely saw or heard from him. Mike's take-charge attitude was completely different. When I first called him to tell him I needed help, he asked me about my situation. I told him what had occurred, and what my lawyer was (wasn't) doing for me at that time. He did not disparage the other lawyer, he simply and firmly told me what I needed to do and what he felt he could do for me. His parting words that day to me were, "I love my job and I love what I do." Over the next few weeks, he turned around my entire attitude. I felt hope again. I followed his guidance verbatim, and he was able to get my case all the way down to a misdemeanor. I am confident if I had contacted him in the first place, I wouldn't even have the misdemeanor. He gave me my life back, and even gave me a new frame of mind. I am a better person for knowing Mike Kraut. I would entrust anyone with his expertise, knowledge, and above all, compassion. I will recommend him with pride and confidence. Just a side note, he was a very well respected DA, and when he walked in the courtroom, he was greeted with smiles and old stories. You can't get any better defense than that. Even the judge knew who he was and you could tell there was a lot of respect there. I cannot recommend Mike Kraut enough, and please don't waste money on a lawyer who will tell you what you want to hear until you pay him, then give you minimal support. Trust the best, trust the person who loves helping people and loves what he does. Trust Mike Kraut.

When I received my DUI, I was just 21. It happened in May 2013 and I had only been in LA for 2 weeks. I was arrested in Beverly Hills and taken to their jail for the night. Luckily, my parents are out here as well and my dad had been told to hire Mike Kraut as my attorney. Immediately after my da...d called him, he spoke to the Beverly Hills jail and I was actually released earlier than I was supposed to be. Might I add that my BAC was very high. More than 3x the legal limit, so I basically thought I was screwed even worse. Right after my parents got me out of jail, we went to Kraut Law Offices. We sat down, and Mike made me feel at ease. I am sure I looked like a mess and had been hysterical but he seemed to calm me down. He told me that we were going to fight this together. He also told me how extremely connected he is to District Attorneys etc. in LA. He is extremely knowledgeable concerning DUI's and alc. related charges. The case took about 6 1/2 months AND WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. He miraculously got me a lesser charge than I could have ever thought possible. For someone with a BAC like mine, I should have to take a 9 month alc class, a ton of AA's, even jail time. I walked away with only having to complete my 3 month alc. program as well as a few handful of AA's. I was extremely stressed out and nervous throughout this process. I was constantly worried. Sometimes couldn't even sleep! I would constantly email and call Mike asking him a million questions, and he always got back to me. Keep in mind he is a very busy man so if he doesn't email back right away, he will! Don't worry. Thank you so much, Mike! This man is a Life saver.
