Harvard-Educated Criminal Defense in the Heart of Hollywood
When your freedom and reputation are on the line, you need more than just a lawyer; you need a strategist who knows the system from the inside out. Kraut Law Group Criminal and DUI Lawyers is led by Michael E. Kraut, a Harvard Law School graduate and former Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles. With over 14 years of experience prosecuting cases before switching to defense, Mr. Kraut possesses a unique advantage: he knows exactly how prosecutors build their cases and, more importantly, how to dismantle them.
