This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Car Accident Success

I engaged Mr. Kraft as my attorney in 2014 after another car collided into me at a high speed on the freeway. My car was wrecked, I sustained several injuries and I didn't know where to go to get help. After discussing the incident with Mr. Kraft, what needed to be done became much more clear. He ...handled all correspondence with the at fault party's insurance & made the process very straightforward. Working with Mr. Kraft gave me peace of mind that I was going to be made whole after all was said and done. I now have the care that I need to get by and he was able to negotiate a settlement that I am very pleased with. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Kraft to anybody who sustains serious injury and needs to make a claim. I am forever grateful for the successful results that he provided.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
