Marcia L. KraftMarcia L. Kraft (1945-2019)

A pioneer for female attorneys heading their own multi-associate law firms in the San Fernando Valley, Marcia L. Kraft had been in private practice in Woodland Hills and Simi Valley since 1990, representing both plaintiffs and defendants, petitioners and respondents. She was “of counsel” for Kraft Miles, A Law Corporation, Marcia used her wealth of experience to counsel the attorneys of the firm. She understood all aspects of family law, including divorce, child custody, and property issues including complex asset division. She also guided the practice of legal matters involving personal injury and employment law. With her depth of legal experience along with her ability to represent a diverse clientele, Marcia formed a highly effective law firm committed to achieving favorable results, handing over the torch to her daughter Joy, who is now the successive leader of the “matriarchy.”

Marcia was a member of various referral services including the San Fernando Valley Bar Association, the Ventura County Bar Association, and numerous others.

Marcia served as an Arbitrator in the Ventura County Superior Court, a Mediator on Probate and Family Law matters for Los Angeles County Superior Court, and had sat as Judge Pro Tem in both Small Claims and Traffic courts.

In June of 2018, Marcia received an award from the Valley Community Legal Foundation (“VCLF”) of the San Fernando Valley Bar Association for “Exemplary Community Service” related to her outstanding philanthropic contributions to the San Fernando Valley. The VCLF does charitable work providing scholarships and grants to the community. In addition to serving a term as its President, Marcia chaired the development and installation of the Children’s Waiting Rooms at the Van Nuys and San Fernando courthouses.

Marcia earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and her Juris Doctor from Southwestern University in Los Angeles, California.

  • Words can't express how thankful I am to have found this Law Firm.

    “My review is long overdue!

    I met Joy Kraft Miles around July 2019. I had a prior attorney who did not help me one bit and I needed an attorney to represent me for my next hearing that was coming up quickly so I yelped Family Law Attorney's near me and came across this Law Firm.

    While Joy was reviewing the documents submitted in my case, she was very professional yet caring and extremely helpful. I knew instantly I was going to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Not to mention the very reasonable price for the quality of work they provide!

    I ended up being represented by Leyla Zerehi, another Attorney in the Law firm and I'm so thankful for her. She's very knowledgeable, professional and very nice. She truly does what's right and I felt taken care of as far as my wants and needs for a high conflict custody battle and keeping me in the loop of things. I never felt alone, I knew Leyla was taking care of things for me.

    Words can't express how thankful I am to have found this Law Firm. I hope I never need Family Law services again, but if I ever do, I know exactly who to call! I've even recently referred my cousin to Leyla and I would definitely recommend anyone to contact them because they will definitely help you solve your problem.”
