Firm Information
Overview
A criminal case can introduce difficult questions about what comes next, from potential legal penalties to the effect an allegation may have on your career and personal life. At Kraut Law Group Criminal & DUI Lawyers, INC., serving Pasadena, California, we help individuals confront these challenges with informed legal guidance and focused defense representation. We understand that the circumstances behind every case are different, which is why we place importance on listening carefully, evaluating the details and identifying an approach suited to each client's needs.
Our firm was established by Michael E. Kraut, a former senior Los Angeles prosecutor. His professional background brings an important perspective to our work defending people accused of criminal conduct. We consider the allegations, review available evidence and examine the legal issues that may affect a case. Throughout this process, we aim to communicate clearly, prepare thoroughly and help clients understand the choices available to them.
We represent individuals charged with felonies and misdemeanors, including allegations involving assault, violent crimes, sex offenses, burglary, theft, arson, manslaughter, criminal threats and weapons offenses. Our practice also includes DUI and other driving-related charges, warrant matters and assistance with expungements for qualifying criminal records.
In addition to traditional criminal charges, we handle cases involving financial offenses and allegations of fraud. These matters include identity theft, credit card fraud, workers' compensation fraud, insider trading, money laundering, forgery, bribery and conspiracy. We also provide defense representation in elder abuse cases and matters involving medical marijuana and prostitution. Workers' compensation matters are another area of our practice.
We appreciate that the legal process may feel unfamiliar, particularly when the possible consequences are serious. Questions about court proceedings, defense options and the impact of a case deserve careful attention. We work to provide practical explanations and thoughtful guidance, allowing clients to approach important decisions with a better understanding of their circumstances.
At Kraut Law Group Criminal & DUI Lawyers, INC., we believe dedicated representation requires both a careful legal strategy and an understanding of each client's concerns. Whether you are facing an investigation, defending against criminal allegations or considering whether an older conviction may qualify for expungement, we are committed to protecting your rights. We work to assess each matter individually and pursue the strongest available defense in light of the evidence and applicable law.
