The day that I most want to forget happened this summer in my own home as police arrested me for possession of narcotics and 2 misdemeanors. I had never been arrested before and didn't know where to turn. I became depressed, stressed, and felt like scum of the earth. I searched the internet and ...went to AVVO review of lawyers and saw Mike Kraut with glowing reviews. I then consulted with some personal friends about lawyers and rolled the dice with Kraut because something felt right. The first being he picked up the phone himself on a Saturday and got me right in. I expected an answering system for monday but not him. After 6 months of hell and I mean not knowing what would happen with my career as we all know you DONT want a felony on your record, I realized Mike knows the law inside and out as he steps on the front lines for you and fights to the bitter end. The day I sat in court with him confirmed his assertive and passionate representation to get the best deal for his client he could. Well my gut was right as Mike was able to get all charges DISMISSED. My life is finally back to normal and I can rest easy and I owe it to him. Do yourself a favor, dont look. I'm sure there are very good lawyers out there but make the call and know you got a heavy weight boxer in your corner and this is like Tyson in his prime.

Look no further! Long story short, I was hit with a DUI/Refusal. I knew I need a powerful attorney so I went on the internet to do my research. After hours of search I ended up calling Michael to discuss the matter. He returned my phone call within minutes. Once I retained him I got nervous because I... did not know if he could help me with my case because I knew there were a lot against me and I know some of my friends got lawyers that didn't do much. Then the time came for the DMV hearing. I showed up and once it started I was impressed. This guy knows his stuff. He was persistent and found everything little thing to argue about within the law. He really does protect his clients. Just trust him.

I was pulled over in the City of Orange in 2007 and charged with a DUI. Because all the notices were sent to a wrong address I could not respond to the charges and I thought they were dismissed since I don’t have a valid CA driver’s license and my immigration status is questionable. In May of 2013 I... was pulled over again and the DUI charge came up. I was sent court summons and told that I will go to jail for 60 days for the DUI and for not responding to the court summons. I retained the services of Michael Kraut who was able to negotiate 60 days of at home electronic monitoring for me instead of a sentence served in jail, which would have meant deportation for certain for me. I am able to work while being electronically monitored, as I can leave the house for 10 hours every day.Mike was very professional and reassuring. He did not make any promises he could not keep but got me a better result than I ever expected. Of utmost importance to me was that my immigration status was not questioned and Mike was able to use his contacts to make that happen. I have no doubt that very few lawyers would be able to do what Mike did. Mike is worth every penny and I very grateful to him and his staff for helping me through this difficult situation.

I was charged with a DUI in Orange County about a year ago. As soon as it happened I was so unhappy and stressed out because I have seen a couple of my friends get DUIs and I know that it comes with very high costs, both monetarily and criminally speaking. I had no idea what to do so I called up on...e of my friends before they took me to jail for the night and asked him to call around and look on the internet in order to find a good DUI lawyer in Los Angeles. He spoke to a couple people that he knew and they told him about the Kraut Law Group. So naturally he looked them up online and found that many people had used the Kraut Law Group and had excellent things to say about them. As soon as I got home from jail, I gave Mike Kraut a call so I could set up a meeting to tell him about my DUI experience and see if he could help me. I met with him in person that week at his office in LA and after speaking with him, my mind was much more at ease and I really liked how professional and courteous he was. He seemed to actually care about me and my situation where other law groups just see you as a potential pay check. So naturally I hired him to defend my on my DUI charges. He handled all the paper work, court filings and court dates (along with all other pain in the ass administrative things that come with a DUI). I literally did not have to do anything except wait for him to tell me when my court date was. I finally had my big day when I had to go to court and had the privilege of watching Mike Kraut defend me in the court room. He was extremely well spoken and knew the law inside and out. And after all his hard work, my DUI charges were dropped and I was able to walk out of the court room with no criminal charges and a free man. He truly cared about me and my case and did everything he could to get the charges dropped and he was successful in doing so. I remember how scared and unsure of what lawyer to chose after I got charged with a DUI. I am so happy that I decided to hire Mike Kraut and the Kraut Law Group. Looking back on it, I would hire him again in a heartbeat and I recommend that anyone who reads this does the same. He will work hard for you and will give you the time and care that you deserve.

I was in a really bad situation. I was arrested on two outstanding warrants in November of 2012 out of the Burbank Courthouse, one for credit card fraud and one for harassing phone calls. I made bail but it took almost three days before I was finally released. The offer on the table from the p...rosecutor's office was for a guilty plea and subsequent conviction on both counts, a total of 75 days jail time, and huge fines. I freaked out at the thought of going back to jail again and my professional career would certainly come to an abrupt end if I had one conviction on my record, let alone two. I knew I was innocent and if I did not find a great attorney to fight these bogus criminal charges then my life was going to be totally ruined. Things could not have been more stressful. And then I made the best decision I ever made in my life by hiring Michael Kraut. Michael Kraut knows the Burbank courts inside and out. He worked for the City Attorney's office for many years and personally knows the people who are sitting at the other side of the courtroom who will decide your fate. He really has a commanding presence in the courtroom and everyone respects him and looks up to him. The results he achieved for my two criminal cases could not have been better. Both counts have been dismissed, no fines, no jail time, my bail was exonerated, and I will not have a single conviction on my record. I could not have asked for better results. Michael Kraut really does go above and beyond for his clients, and I can say that he pretty much saved my life as going to jail and having multiple convictions on my record would have been devastating to my personal life and my career. Hopefully, you will never need to hire an attorney but if do, do not hesitate to call Michael Kraut. Hands down he is the best criminal defense lawyer out there and he is committed to get you the best possible outcome possible for your criminal case.
