Save your TIME/MONEY..!

Craig was a waste of my time and funds, poor excuse for a criminal attorney! He DID NOT challenge the DA on my case at all.. for starters was 25min LATE to my FIRST court hearing. I was left in the dark when it came to plea barging and in the end after spending over 4k I was found GUILTY. SAVE YOUR ...TIME AND MONEY AND DO NOT HIRE THIS CLOWN!

Facing a false domestic violence charge

Searched for an experienced family lawyer that knew the Waukesha legal system. Craig had all the qualities I was looking for. I wanted to get a quick start on my case. We were able to address it in the pre charge phase. I retained Craig on a Monday and a week from the following Tuesday the charges w...ere dismissed. I cannot rate him higher than 5 stars or I would. Thank you Craig you are a God send.

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.

Craig M. Kuhary handled my case in a professional and compassionate manner. He provided solid legal advise that led to my not guilty verdict. I highly recommend this attorney. He is very organized and knowledgable. He lifted an enormous weight off of my family and I. He is a great man!

OWI Dismissed

I was charged on a felony case by mistake. I was confused on how to defend myself from this case, so I was looking for an attorney who can handle this in a better way. I came to know about Mr. Craig Kuhary through Avvo and immediately approached him. He took my case. With his great experience, case ...was skillfully handled and the case was dismissed. I would definitely recommend Mr. Craig Kuhary.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
