Upon opening my DUI case with Kraut Law Group, I immediately felt a sense of security dealing with Attorney Micheal Kraut. As soon as we begun our first hearing he dove right in, asking plenty of questions, and he began to assess my situation. After hearing my story he provided me with the best possi...ble options as well as his plans for my case. In his response, not only was he realistic with his foreseen outcomes of my case but he surpassed my expectations by ultimately fighting for and winning me my full dismissal (the best possible outcome). In my opinion Attorney Micheal Kraut and his firm saved my life, my record, as well as a great deal of finances that I would be obligated to pay if I had not chosen Kraut Law Group to represent me in my case. I am very thankful for their hard work, and would definitely recommend them to anyone dealing with a stressful case such as a DUI.

I was falsely charged with DUI in the City of Pasadena in late December 2011. Ever since then, it has been very stressful for my life since I had never dealt with DUI before in my entire life. I began the searching process. I went through different review websites to find attorneys. such as http:/.../AVVO.com,http://martindale.com...etc. I have to say, it was very time consuming because there are a lot of DUI attorney's out there on the web, and it is very difficult to judge which one is better. Almost all of the websites made the attorney(s) sounded really professional, but how do you know if they are truly professional and knowledgeable or just an Advertisement? I called at least 8 attorney's offices and I highly recommend Michael Kraut, Esq. Attorney Michael Kraut is very different than other DUI attorney's that I had contacted with during this searching process. He would personally answer his call almost 24/7. I remembered the first time I called him was on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm, I was surprised that he answered the call himself. A lot of the other DUI attorney's office I called, they usually have an answering service to answer calls for the attorney, and then answering service will page the attorney, then the attorney will either call, email, or text you back. It is such a long process plus waiting time. Not only he answer the call, he was able to answer all the questions I have regarding DUI case. Michael Kraut also has a resourceful website that is very useful for anyone who has questions regarding DUI cases. I met with Attorney Michael Kraut later on that week following with the first call and he is really professional and well connected. I was glad that I found Attorney Michael Kraut. And the best of all is, I didn't have to go to jail, no DUI records, and no penalties. Life is not perfect sometimes, and if you happened to need a DUI attorney, Michael Kraut, esq. is your #1 choice! Highly recommended for his service. A+

Since you are reading this review I assume that you are likely where I was seven months ago... in search for an honest, trustworthy, and candid lawyer while being overwhelmed with the recommendations from friends and millions of lawyer websites. After many interviews with a variety of lawyers, my wif...e and I met with Michael Kraut at his office. We knew right away that he was our man. I was falsely accused of two misdemeanors. When my wife and I first met with Michael we were overwhelmed, emotional and scared because of the situation that I was in. Michael was the only lawyer who immediately calmed our nerves and put our challenge into perspective. He was like a psychologist, helping us to think through our options and giving us the confidence that our lives would go back to normal as long as we followed a few simple steps. We left Michael's office feeling confident that he had the intelligence, connections, and experience to help me. That feeling was invaluable, as it helped my wife and I to take the necessary steps to start the healing process. Sure enough, months later Michael showed me the "letter" (his delivery was quite a memorable one - he has a very witty sense of humor) stating that the city had dropped all charges! That was one of the happiest days of our lives, and we owe it to Michael. I highly recommend Michael Kraut as your defense attorney. You will not regret it.

I was terrified when the police showed up on my doorstep looking for me. The charge was a misdemeaner vandalism charge. So, I began the search frantically trying to find a lawyer I could trust and who would understand my fears and concerns. I called about 6 different people, and of those, Mr. Kr...aut was the only one who actually took my call. He made time for me, and the very same day I called, I was sitting in front of him at no charge. It took only a few minutes to realize this guy knew what he was doing, and had connections and relationships very few lawyers had. I decided to use him, and then, the news got from bad to worse. The following week, he called me, and told me that they were now booking me on a FELONY vandalism charge + a misdemeanor for lewd conduct, and that I could be labeled as a sex offender. He was blatantly honest with me, and said this was extremely serious, and I needed to get into his office immediately. He told me I needed to turn myself in, or I would be arrested and booked. We worked thru the details, so the bail bondman was there, and I was in and out in a few hours. Now, what you need to know about Kraut is that this guy is busy, extremely busy, and for good reason. He is good, extremely good at getting results. He also will return your call with 24 hours, and typically replies to e-mails as well. Mr. Kraut is an extremely confident and strong lawyer, and will get you the results that other lawyers simply cannot. During the time between the arrest and my initial date, he asked a few things from me. What I learned was to not question him, just do what he asks, and you will be well rewarded for it. Finally, the day came for my arraignment, he goes into the courtroom, tells me to wait outside, 45 minutes later, he says the felony and sex crime are GONE, and was working out the details on the misdemeanor charge. The final result, a plead of guily on a simple misdemeanor, and 30 days of electronic work release, so I don't miss work!! THX MR KRAUT!!

I contacted Mr. Kraut after getting pulled over for and arrested for an underage DUI, a little above the legal limit. I spent a night in jail following the arrest. It was by far one of the most anxiety-provoking situations I have ever been in. I saw my whole future go down the drain, contemplating th...e potential consequences of this charge. Upon getting released, I decided to seek out an attorney to help me out with the case. After doing extensive research on those in my area, I came across Mr. Kraut. Immediately after talking on the phone with him, I knew that I wanted him to represent me. He seemed confident, experienced, personable, and helpful. All these first impressions turned out to be true. After hiring him, he virtually took care EVERYTHING. He is a very busy man, and though at times it seemed like I was not involved enough, he was still able to take the time to walk me through the proceedings of my trial. I came out with my charge reduced to a wet and reckless. I cannot stress how lucky I am that this happened, and also to have picked Mr. Kraut to represent me. He is a great guy, knows the court system like the back of his hand, and really cares for his clients. I could not be happier with these results.
