I believe there is no better legal team in Los Angeles than the competent and confident Kraut Law Group. View More

Preserved my SQUEAKY clean record! Proved my innocence and humiliated my accusers! There are some things you absolutely do NOT want to cheap out on, especially when your reputation is on the line! I've never needed a criminal attorney before. My record is completely clean and I'd like to think those around me see me as someone with a good heart, so all of this was very embarassing and stressful. The accusations were VERY wild and hurtful, so after a long search I managed to find California's premier criminal defense law firm. They're not cheap, but you shouldn't place a number on your reputation! Kraut Law Firm not only proved my innocence by drafting a STRONG statement of events, but managed to crush any chance the prosecution had by expertly telling my side of the story! From start to finish, this ordeal only lasted about 1-2 months with Mr. Kraut and his colleagues using their strong connections and Harvard Law education to embarass my accusers and quickly rid me of this nuisance. Kraut Law Firm managed to protect me from and expose the blatant and absolutely DISGUSTING lies brought forth against me. Not only was I never arrested, the district attorney's office REFUSED to prosecute me! I am very happy with the results and will forever recommend them to anyone in need of serious help. Thank you. I'd like to add that Mr. Kraut was very accommodating and forgiving when I hit absolute rock bottom with stress and worry. I will never forget that. View More

Super Lawyer The Kraut Law Group returned my life back to normal after suffering a big injustice in my life. I was going through a very difficult time in my life, I was not sure how to navigate such a difficult injustice in my life. I was in grief, depressed and in deep anguisment. I was facing false allegations for something I didn't do. I needed to clear my name because this problem was not going to go away on its own. I literally felt like everything I had worked for in life was going to go down the drain. I went online and Google best defense attorneys in Los Angeles area and Mr. Micheal Krauts name popped on the Google search. I immediately started to read all the reviews online, he seemed to good to be true. I called him to see if he could help me and we set up a time to meet that same day. He went to work that same day contacting all the right people. In a few months all my problems went away. I was able to clear my name and maintain my reputation intact all because Mr. Micheal Kraut was there by my side. I also want to thank Mr. Mike Seager for helping me, he provided me with the emotional support I needed to continue with my life during my difficult situation. Overall, the Kraut Law Group gets the job done like no other Law Group, they are the best Law Firm in Los Angeles. View More

Look No Further...The Kraut Law Group is the BEST! Look no further....Kraut Law group is THE BEST! And let me tell you why I say this.... I recently was accused of a crime that I did not commit....however all the "evidence" made me look guilty. Knowing this, I knew I needed the BEST lawyer to help me clear my name. So I spoke with a few lawyers I found online and honestly, I wasn't convinced that they would get the job done , so I kept looking. Scared about my future, I decided to reached out to a well respected and connected friend who told me that I needed to talk to Michael Kraut because he was the BEST. I was excited to hear this, but still sceptical... so I booked an appointment immediately with Mr Kraut. And as soon as I met Mr. Kraut, I knew he was going to be my Legal Champion! How did I know Michael was the representation I needed? It was simple... there was no bullship, he cut right to the point, he previously was a DA with lots of connections, he had an excellent track record, and he knew he could clear my name. The man knows the LAW! Once the process started...I was expecting a lot of hand holding because I was afraid and this was my first time dealing with this...but that is not what Mr. Kraut does. At first I was a little annoyed like the other reviewers on here....but I quickly realized that his job is not to make us emotionally feel better...his job is to PROTECT and DEFEND with our BEST interest...and that's what he DOES BEST! If you need emotional hand holding, I suggest a therapist....if you want A BULLDOG of a LAWYER who will WIN your case....then I suggest Michael Kraut and his team. Now, I'm not going to lie, Michael is short and at times treated me like my dad.... but there's a reason for that...he just wanted the FACTS so he could PROTECT me....all the fluff wasn't important...and it took me a little while to realize that...but once I got it...I really appreciated it, because that's what you need in court...the HARD facts... as the JUDGE does NOT want the fluff. As my court date approached, like you would imagine, I was scared and nervous for the unknown...but as the day got closer, Mr. Kraut and his team held my hand and prepared me for what I needed to do....but this was my first time in court so I was still nervous. The entire week prior to my preliminary hearing, I was a nervous wreck...but what really surprised me was how I felt once I got to the courthouse. Having Mr. Kraut by my side, my nerves went away. I know that sounds ridiculous (as I've never told anybody this) but as soon as we met in the Court Hallway, I felt confident I was going to WIN....I just knew it! And I was RIGHT!!! After a few days in court FIGHTING for JUSTICE and my Well Being....Michael Kraut won my case! He not only won, he slaughtered the prosecutor with multiple tactics...I swear the Judge was smiling under his mask because Mr Kraut's knowledge of the law...was incredible...and that DA didn't have a chance. So was I happy with Kraut Law Group??? ABSOLUTELY! Would I call them if I ever got into another situation??? YOU BET, IMMEDIATELY! Thank you Michael Kraut and team....I truly am thankful for all that you did! Hopefully I don't see again, but if I need to, I know where to find you! -JM View More

Great Lawyer I got in trouble with the law and was looking for a good Attorney in LA.I went and saw Michael at his law office and he put me at ease.When it was all said in done he got my case dismissed.I could not be happier with the results and I would highly recommend him if your looking for help.

Case Dismissed! Mr. Kraut has the confidence and experience you need when dealing with possible criminal charges. He was able to get a dismissal for the charges. I was facing serious charges that would have impacted the rest of my life. He is immediately responsive and very available for questions or concerns.

Beyond Thankful for Kraut Law Group Coming across Mr. Kraut and Kraut Law Group was the best decision I ever made following my circumstances this past year. Proceeding the time of my charge, I was unaware of how to make or go about my next move. Having never been in this specific position before, I was at a crossroads, feeling I was stuck alone on an arduous journey. It wasn't until meeting Michael and the rest of the team, that I felt comfortable and more at ease with my situation. Displaying nothing but true professionalism, a marksman of his craft, I felt that all of my questions were answered in a time-appropriate manner. From the moment of disclosing my case with Mr. Kraut, I was shown proactive care when needed most. They were right on top of matters with the DMV, as well as keeping me up-to-date with court hearings/proceedings that were to follow. Blessed by the knowledge of his specialty, I was beyond grateful for the care they showed in making sure that we came out on top of my case. A true blessing to anyone that comes across him and his team's path. A big thank you to Michael Kraut & Kraut Law Group. View More

Life saved from ruin by these amazing attorneys This past year and half has been an excruciating and heart breaking time, I lost my job suddenly for what was the biggest shock of my life while I was the only one working. A month later I got the most disturbing letter of an outrageous accusation from my former employer. I was stressed, distressed, to be honest and just plain confused, crying with my wife, trying to make sense of it all. Feeling like I was being extorted and threatened with legal action unless I produce receipts or pay a quarter of a million $($250K). They were looking to destroy my life, my family and my family’s future. We decided to take action before anything had gotten bigger, and a vigorous and wide search started and ended with finding Kraut Law Group. I research and checked all the database of lawyer credentials such as this one to be sure Atty Kraut and his team we're legit, and I then I finally inquired after seeing Atty Kraut's prosecutorial experience in the LA Major fraud division, and Atty Hankoff’s senior defense experience. Believe me, if you have never had to deal with the justice system, you need the best on your side. Boy did I make the best decision possible. Got a call back immediately to get some preliminary information then had an appointment set to discuss in person. Atty Kraut asked me the tough questions and prepared me for a tough fight ahead and gave me the rest assurance after learning of my story. He does not just take anyone on as a client, because of his reputation, he is very selective and my wife and I were glad and grateful when he said “Yes, we can and will help you through this!”. He told what to expect, made sure I was making the right decision, he even asked me and my wife to go to lunch and think of it and make calls as necessary to make the right decision for our lives, because this was a very important one. I come back and we signed the retainer agreement and he immediately contacted them and told them that moving forward they needed to contact him and his office. Which alleviated my stress level. It took a while, since my former employer decided to take their matter to the local police and begin a long investigation, most likely following me around and checking my accounts etc. Then COVID and all this crazy 2020 happened. And then I get a communication from the Sheriff after this whole time that they wanted to speak to me. My stress level as anyone’s would, shot up immediately, my first call was to my Attys. Was again reassured that this was part of the legal/justice system and not to worry, they would find out more details and get back to me. When a date was finally set for the interview/interrogation, my expectations were explained to me and guided me on how it should go and I had a very surprisingly pleasant interview/interrogation with my legal team right there beside me helping me along the way. Again the wait began and I received a letter with a court date since the case was at the District attorneys court, now that the investigation had concluded from the Law enforcement side. This was the climax of my stress levels, imagining all those shows you see on TV. Spoke to the law office immediate and they got a hold of the information right away that it was a premature letter sent, that my case was still in review. I was already preparing for the worst, making plans with my wife and family about a possible long trial and all the grief associated with it. And Atty Hankoff and Atty Kraut did all the communication with the DAs office and Law Enforcement as they always had. Today early in the morning. I get a call from these amazing Attys. Your case has been completely rejected by the DAs office. I am eternally grateful and so is my wife and 4 kids to these Gentlemen. CALL THEM EVEN BEFORE YOU THINK YOU WILL NEED THEM, BEFORE A CASE OR INVESTIGATION. YOU CANNOT PUT A PRICE ON THE BEST TEAM TO GIVE YOU “PEACE OF MIND”. Again a warm thank you to Atty Kraut, Atty Hankoff and the team at Kraut Law Center!!! View More

The best LION lawyer who will fight for your cause and get things right. I went home to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She had 2 episodes of 5150 and I wanted to be there for her on her special day. I thought the day was going to be normal. I had a verbal argument with my boyfriend and did not know my daughter was not taking her medications. We did not know she called 911 and the police were in front of my door. The police asked me to come out and I said I wanted to get my N95 mask. He got irritated with me and insisted that I come out without the mask. Next thing I knew I was in handcuffs and was being hauled out to jail. The jailer whispered to me I don't even know why you are here in the first place. I did not have a prior criminal record. I have a pristine record. I did not know what to do. My entire livelihood and reputation were at stake. I was choosing between a cheaper law firm and Mr. Kraut. I met with the family, and I told them I would rather choose a LION than a LAMB. I am so happy I chose correctly and chose the LION in Mr. Kraut's Law Office. Mr. Michael Kraut and his associates worked immediately on my case knowing that I need to get a good job to be on track in supporting my family. Especially during COVID times, this is not the time to lose a job. I am the sole breadwinner in my family. I put my complete trust on Mr. Kraut as I know he will deliver results, especially for the ones in need and are innocent. They initially charged me with felony domestic violence. Mr. Kraut got it down to a misdemeanor. His law office later got it down to an infraction. Now, I dn not have a criminal record and things are right as they should be. Throughout my case, Mr. Daniel Lengeman, who Mr. Kraut has assigned to work on my case, has been very kind and gentle and would inform me of the status of my case. Mr. Daniel Lengeman, just like Mr. Michael Kraut was a former prosecutor. They know how to handle the case and I suggest you put your complete trust in them to do their job and do it well. Mr. Michael Kraut worked behind the scenes and was my little angel. His office is God sent. I will highly recommend you sign up with Mr. Michael Kraut and not hesitate for even one minute. I now have my life back and I couldn't be any happier with them. These people are genuinely capable and compassionate. They went over and beyond my expectations. JOB WELL DONE! Thank you Mr. Michael E. Kraut and Mr. Daniel Lengeman for rebuilding my life, my reputation, and my livelihood. Hire a LION. Hire them. They will get you results and fight for you. Trust them 100%.
