Hands down best criminal defense lawyer! Beyond Excellent!

Craig genuinely cares about his clients and is with them every step of the way, I can speak first hand. I had called Craig the very next day after I found out I had an assault pending charge against me. The very next day he contacted me and we met to discusess the case. This was my first charge and I... had never been more scared in my life. Craig walked me through every step of the way. He was very professional and helped me know what to expect and what we needed to do. This charge would ruin my career, but Craig was able to get it significantly reduced to where I could keep my job. Words will never explain how greatful I am for him and his assistances. Having this be my first criminal charge, and not knowing where to start, I thank God I had resources who highly recommended him. Because of Craig, and his great work, I'm able to move on with my life and work my dream job. No words can justify how thankful I am. If you are like me, and going online to find the best reviews on the best lawyer, I hope this saves you time because Craig truly cares about what he does.

Amazing Attorney! Must read this review!

Earlier this year, I was charged with a Felony. If you were like me, you are probably freaking out, thinking your life and career are over. I called a lot of attorneys and many of them were going to charge tens of thousands of dollars. I received countless letters with scare tactics to tell me how “s...erious” the charges were. I had “radio known law firms” treat me like I was just another number, and others that told me they would “get everything dropped”. IF you’ve never been in trouble before like me, where do you start to find a good attorney? All I can say is Attorney Craig Kuhary is the REAL DEAL. Craig never gave me false hopes, and never promised me anything. He was, however, compassionate and helped me through the ebbs and flows of the emotional roller coaster. Craig is very well respected in the courthouse, where even the bailiffs know him by name. He is a no-nonsense experienced and knowledgeable attorney that gets the job done. I had unique circumstances to my case, where he was able to work with a private investigator and co-counsel to get the charges significantly reduced. Craig SAVED MY LIFE TOO. I say this because he saved someone else’s life in these reviews and these reviews are EXACTLY why I chose him to represent me. Craig will make sure you are prepared, dressed appropriately, and represented properly. He speaks up when he needs to and fights for a win. I can never thank Craig enough and am happy I placed my future in his hands. Thank you Attorney Kuhary!!

OWI dropped!

Craig Kuhary is a great attorney! I was unfortunately facing my 2nd owi and certain financial strain. But my man Craig came through in a big way. He was able to get my case dismissed via dash cam footage! He was very meticulous, exhausted every possible option, and put forward a solid plan. I couldn...'t be happier! Craig is a great attorney who tells it how it is and does everything in his power to help the client. If you want someone to fight for you then Craig's your guy!

Straight forward and follows through

I received a ticket that I wanted to see if I could contest and based my decision on which lawyer to choose off the reviews/feedback of this website. Thank you to the ones who left Craig a review in the past because those reviews pushed me in his directions! Right from the first consultation, Cra...ig's thorough questioning and knowledge gave me confidence/hope. Most importantly, his relate-ability and personality reassured me during a very difficult time. Even when the DA wanted to settle, Craig sis not accept their plea bargain. He got my case completely dropped and advised me on how to get my arrest record removed. I would call Craig in a second and suggest him to anyone I care about! Thanks Craig!

Bottom Line – Attorney Mr. Craig Kuhary is an EXCELLENT Criminal Attorney

I hired Criminal Attorney Mr. Craig Kuhary to represent my daughter for Revocation Hearing. I was referred to Attorney Craig Kuhary by a friend. After hearing what Mr. Craig Kuhary was able to do for his daughter I knew I needed to hire him to represent my daughter. Like my friend helped me, I wa...nt to help others looking to hire an attorney. Mr. Craig Kuhary, is the one. Attorney Craig Kuhary is a very confident attorney and knows the law very well. He is a very good listener and is an excellent communicator, which includes returning phone calls the same day or within 24 hours. Mr. Craig Kuhary did an outstanding job representing my daughter and won her “Revocation Hearing”. I couldn’t have hired a better Attorney! It is very difficult to win a Revocation hearing. I encourage you to check out the statistics with the Department of Correction and see for yourself. What Mr. Craig Kuhary was able to do for my daughter speaks volumes for how great of an attorney he is. I can’t thank Mr. Craig Kuhary enough for all he did and his fees are very reasonable.
