I was very fortunate to have Michael Kraut as my lawyer. Michael Kraut is an outstanding criminal defense lawyer. From the moment I spoke to him on the phone I felt a sense of comfort and relief. He asked the right questions, acted with a sense of urgency from the first moment, he seemed genuinely in...terested in helping me out. Michael Kraut has a good heart, he really cares about people and understands how we are only human and do encounter unfortunate circumstances. I was able to keep a peace of mind because I know that my case was being handled properly. Mike Kraut took the case and even though I could not afford all of his fees at the time he was willing to work something out with me. Mike was very helpful and highly effective in getting the job done. His knowledge and experience in the criminal justice system is amazing. I am forever appreciative of Michael Kraut’s representation and can go on with my life, because of him.

Michael Kraut is capable of working wonders. I had a stupid lapse in judgment that led to the Burbank DA pressing charges against me. Upon receiving the letter stating the charges i was immediately sent into a state of panic. I couldn't believe that i had possibly ruined my life over a few seconds of... stupidity. With a court date approaching quickly, i started searching for help. After much time i decided to call Michael Kraut. When i called i was shocked that he actually answered the phone (i thought someone from his office was going to pick up). He said he was busy in court with a different client, but that he would call me back when he was finished. A few hours later i received a call from Michael, and within two hours of that call i was sitting in his office having a face to face meeting. Needless to say, the meeting was a bit difficult, as i had to explain what i had done and how scared i was (i nearly cried in his office out of fear). Michael assured me that he would be able to help, and that i did not need to torture myself anymore. When i was getting letters of reference from various people, i ran into a bit of a problem. One of the people wanted to be sure of exactly what i had done. Michael quickly contacted this person and explained the situation. The person said that they had a great conversation with Michael, and that they would be more than happy to write a letter for me. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Michael Kraut was able to get the charges reduced from major jail time to community service and counseling. Needless to say, i am relieved. Not only was Mr. Kraut able to help me out in the courtroom, but he also made it so that i can have a productive life, and not have to worry about being able to get a job in the future. If you need help, there is no person better than Michael Kraut.

I myself am an attorney and chose to use Mr. Kraut to handle an investigation being conducted by The State Bar of California. As another attorney once stated, "We attorneys make the worst clients," and I was no exception. Nevertheless, Mr. Kraut handled my situation impeccably. Not only was he k...een on the law and the manner in which to handle my case, he excelled in the role of "Counselor at Law". He handled my personality perfectly. I did not always like it, but it was in my best interest. At the end of the day, I found myself not only thanking him, but hugging him. My case was closed without ANY action by The State Bar of California. Which, any lawyer will tell you, is a miracle in and of itself. Thank you, Michael Kraut!!!

I am an attorney writing a testimonial for another attorney which is probably somewhat unusual but also significant in that one attorney might have a better appreciation of another attorney's work than someone who is not familiar with our "justice" system. In the spring of 2009 the police came to ...my home in Las Vegas and arrested my husband on several felony charges. The charges had been filed by the Los Angeles District Attorney and were numerous to say the least. Our immediate reaction, even though we are attorneys, was to defend ourselves and fight to the finish. We immediately hired a nice gentleman in Los Angeles who eventually informed us that he had some type of conflict though we knew he simply felt that the case was beyond his level of expertise. We began the search for new counsel and were fortunate enough to locate Michael Kraut. Mike made us feel that we had someone who really knows what he is doing and who would give us the advice that is in our best interest even if it is not what we wanted to hear. Mike Kraut managed somehow to get the District Attorney to drop almost all the charges and eliminate a California State prison sentence. He obtained an agreement that permitted us to return home to Nevada and to make monthly payments on a reasonable amount of restitution. As a practicing attorney I know how critical the right counsel can be in any kind of case. I recommend Michael Kraut without reservation of any kind. If you are reading this because you are searching for competence and experience, consider retaining Mr. Kraut.
