OWI

When facing an OWI it can bring on uncertainty and stress. Who do I turn to for help? I asked a friend who faced a similar situation and they mentioned the name of Craig Kuhary. I called Craig, discussed the charges on my citation and I immediately felt comfortable after our conversation. He asked m...e to come in for a conference and after we talked I knew I was in good hands. I found throughout my ordeal that Craig was compassionate, understanding and he clearly explained things and developed a strategy to deal with my particular case. Given my situation I got the best outcome and I really appreciate all the time and kindness he showed me.

Couldn't have been represented any better.

I would highly recommend Craig for any legal defense you may unfortunately come to need. From the onset of my case, Craig calmed my nerves by explaining in the simplest of terms, what happened, what will soon happen, and the potential outcomes. After allowing Craig to handle all aspects of my case, I... was professionally represented, and kept informed as the process went from it's initial stage, to its conclusion. Craig gave me his honest opinion of what I should do, and I obtained the best result I could have. In the future, I hopefully won't need the services of an experienced attorney like Craig, but if I do, I will definitely obtain the services of Craig again.

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.

DUI/REFUSAL - - Milwaukee County

First of alI, if you are looking for counsel, I am sure you are scared and confused, especially if you were arrested and booked, and never gone through that before.... Been there. I called a few attorneys in the area in the beginning of my "ordeal" and even met with a couple. I did not have a good f...eeling about any of the ones I met with, I felt like I was just another number to them. I contacted Mr. Kuhary after searching for an affordable attorney to handle my case. Sparing you the details, I will tell you that Mr. Kuhary listened to my situation and was willing to "step outside the box" in a logical way in order to handle my case. He listened to what I NEEDED the outcome to be and spent 1.5 yrs coaching and helping me through it. In the end, a refusal and DUI were both dismissed through a very lengthy process. His ideas and action plan were the sole reasons I received this outcome. The legal system can be unpredictable and many times, courts are just looking for a quick end to the case, whatever the outcome may be. His communications were only when needed and he always got back to me within a day or so. I appreciated his open but confident demeanor and felt very comfortable giving him all the facts in order to best represent me. In the end, I was spared thousands of dollars, my license, and the unknown future impacts an DUI may have. Thanks to Craig, I have another chance. This changed my life.

Craig M. Kuhary OWI Case

Mr. Kuhary did a fantastic job for me in my case. I am an Illinois resident that needed a lawyer for an OWI case and I am beyond pleased with the amount of work Mr. Kuhary did for me, and the outcome of my case. He was honest and straight forward with me regarding the entire process, and about my opt...ions, and offered his assistance in a variety of ways, including helping me had I received a conviction, and being available to me for the foreseen future after my case was complete. It can be at times relatively difficult for Mr. Kuhary to respond to emails and/or phone calls, but it is understandable considering his workload, and he eventually managed to respond. While I hope no one ever needs a lawyer, if it does happen Mr. Kuhary is an excellent choice.
