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.

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.
