25 years as a prosecutor. The experience you want, the wisdom you need.

A career courtoom attorney committed to helping good people caught up in bad situations.

My practice is dedicated to criminal defense. No case is too big. No case is too small.

A former California prosecutor, now fighting for you.

I have 28+ years of experience in the courtroom handling criminal cases. You can say that I have handled just about every type of criminal case imaginable – from DUI’s and Petty Theft to Murder and Sexual Assault. For me, there is no case too big or too small. To find out more about the significant cases I have handled, visit this page. Over the years, I have developed expertise in handling DUI cases, domestic violence cases, and cases involving strike offenses and serious felonies.

Feel free to have a long look around on this site. However, nothing beats a face to face conversation to help me understand your case and your unique situation. So, give me a call and I’ll get started on your case right away. (805) 723-0711

“Matthew Kraut was hired by my union to represent me in a case where false allegations were made against me. Matt was great to work with. He was fair, reasonable, and very professional. Matt was always quick to respond to any issues or concerns, and he was very knowledgeable of POBAR. Even though I hopefully will not need his services in the future, I would highly recommend Matthew Kraut as a defense attorney.”
