Best decision!

I did my research when looking for a good attorney for my husband. I gave all details and history as honestly as I could, spoke with a few attorneys on the phone, and landed on Craig Kuhary. The way he spoke, the confidence I could hear, the honesty, etc. I just had a strong feeling that he was the o...ne we needed. Fast forward to the end of the case, and I’m so pleased with the outcome! My husband is relieved and thankful as well. As long as you understand that he will get in touch with you when important things come up in the case, take his suggestions to heart and follow through, and stay out of any further trouble, you could have an amazing outcome as well! Make sure you arrive 10-15 minutes early for your court dates because Craig likes to go over everything with you so it is fresh in your mind for your hearing. He is also very affordable, and doesn’t make false promises.

Great results, passionate advocate

Craig Kuhary was easy to communicate with, attended to all of my concerns, and was able to produce results with regards to my case that a year ago I would've have scoffed at the possibilities of. I would absolutely recommend him and I am greatly indebted to his services. Thank you, Craig.

Disorderly Conduct Charge DISMISSED

I had an argument with the soon to be X-wife. Unknown to me she calls the cops. Claims she felt cornered and threatened. That's all they need. First time in my life (i'm in my 50's) I saw the inside of a cell. She filed a false charge, lied like a rug! I was referred to Mr Kuhary by my Divorce Atty.... I told him 2 things, 1) this didn't happen and 2) review the video recording made by the police. He did, then he went to the district Atty to review and they both concurred, this didn't happen. The cost was reasonable compared to the cost of my reputation. He was quick, efficient, kept me in the loop and knew what to do. Domestic issues are tough to get out of, but when you are innocent it's nice to know there is someone out there that gives a hoot and listens to you. Thank you Craig, I know I will never need you again, but if I know someone who does you are the one I will recommend
