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.

pornography charge

This attorney was extremely professional. When he addressed the court about his client, he knew exactly what the court needed to hear. He had his client fully prepared. He even had an assessment done on his client that wasn't ordered but gave the court a complete report on his mental condition. I hav...e worked with attorneys for 20 years and highly recommend this man!

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.
