I practice as a criminal defense lawyer because I believe that the rights of all depend on the rights of one. As a result, each person's rights must be vigilantly safeguarded against the powers of the state. An unfettered state results in the very tyranny our Founding Fathers sought to protect us against with the Constitution.
I have devoted the last 30 years of my life as an attorney to this pursuit. With the law firm of Walden & Schuster, S.C., I continue to do so for clients just like you throughout the Waukesha County area in a wide variety of criminal defense matters, including DUI, domestic violence, juvenile cases and drug-related charges.
In doing so, I follow a baseline philosophy: effective legal representation depends on individualized services. For that reason, I have intentionally structured my legal practice in order to enable me to focus on you, the individual.
My focus on each individual client enables me to learn the facts that can determine the outcome of your case. It also means I can help you understand the legal options available in your particular case so you can choose from them intelligently and with confidence whatever the circumstances. Your confidence will stem from the knowledge that my experience means I hold a legal judgment that has been tried and tested many, many times, often by situations very similar to the situation now facing you.

An exceptional, compassionate attorney
It’s important to thank people whose impacts are so very significant at critical turning points in life. We will always remember Attorney Craig Kuhary’s help at an important time of our son’s journey. During the pandemic, while away at college, he made a mistake and was issued 5 tickets, very disprop...

Great results, passionate advocate
Craig Kuhary was easy to communicate with, attended to all of my concerns, and was able to produce results with regards to my case that a year ago I would've have scoffed at the possibilities of. I would absolutely recommend him and I am greatly indebted to his services. Thank you, Craig.

Disorderly Conduct Charge DISMISSED
I had an argument with the soon to be X-wife. Unknown to me she calls the cops. Claims she felt cornered and threatened. That's all they need. First time in my life (i'm in my 50's) I saw the inside of a cell. She filed a false charge, lied like a rug! I was referred to Mr Kuhary by my Divorce Atty....

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 ...

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...
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked as opposing counsel with Attorney Kuhary on dozens of matters including numerous motion hearings and trials. I have always been impressed with his skill, knowledge, integrity and professionalism. I have personally referred a number of friends and clients looking for a criminal or drunk driving defense attorney to Attorney Kuhary."
"I endorse Craig Kuhary because I have observed him in the criminal courts on multiple occasions. I would have no hesitation to refer a criminal client to Mr. Kuhary."
