In addition to his leadership roles, Kraus manages an active practice representing leading national mortgage servicers, lenders, and investors in state and federal actions and appeals. He defends clients against consumer and class actions, litigation, and regulatory compliance matters.

Kraus is committed to service and volunteer work, beginning while earning his law degree at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. He co-founded and was co-president of Cardozo Advocates for Battered Women. Currently, he is actively involved in a local chapter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
