Successful Cases

Brad Kraus is a dedicated criminal defence lawyer, proudly serving clients throughout Calgary, Red Deer, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, and surrounding southern Alberta communities. Raised in small-town Alberta just south of Edmonton, Brad grew up in a law-enforcement household—his father served with the Edmonton Police Service for 35 years. From a young age, Brad envisioned becoming a lawyer, and he never wavered from that goal. Today, he practices criminal defence exclusively, bringing a rare blend of insight, strategy, and real-world experience to every case.

Brad’s law-enforcement upbringing gave him an inside understanding of how police think and operate—knowledge he now uses to protect his clients. As a criminal defence lawyer with hundreds of successful cases, Brad knows how to challenge the evidence, identify weaknesses in the Crown’s case, and fight for the best possible outcome.

Before entering the legal profession, Brad excelled as a high-level salesman. He believes almost everything in life is a negotiation—and criminal law is no exception. Whether he’s addressing a jury, crafting nuanced legal arguments for a judge, or plea-bargaining with a Crown Prosecutor, Brad uses his communication skills, quick wit, and strategic mindset to protect your rights and strengthen your position.

Brad’s work ethic was forged long before his legal career. He has operated heavy equipment in harsh Alberta winters and worked shoulder-to-shoulder with cooks and labourers in demanding environments. These experiences shaped his ability to connect with people from all walks of life. As a result, Brad is known for explaining complex legal concepts in clear, straightforward language, ensuring every client understands precisely what he recommends—and why.

Brad believes that he and his clients operate as a team. He is committed to open, ongoing communication and prides himself on being accessible. He understands the stress that comes with being charged with a crime, and he strives to ease that burden by making himself available when clients need reassurance or guidance.

Outside the courtroom, Brad is active in Alberta’s boxing community. He proudly sponsors undefeated professional boxer Kent Polines—check out Kent’s training and fight updates on Instagram.
