Craig Kuhary simply the best lawyer!

My son was charged with robbery and assault in a first time offense. He was only partially guilty and a minor. Craig got my son and our family through this ordeal with the absolute best possible outcome and helped my son become a better person in the process. Craig is simply the best lawyer and advo...cate for his clients.

Excellent, Experienced Representation

I got myself into trouble at the beginning of the year, and it was the first time I’d ever done so. I was looking at some ugly charges, and I knew that I need help quickly. I talked to a few of the “big name” attorneys in the area and the numbers that they provided left me almost in shock. That w...as until I spoke to Craig Kuhary! He was much more helpful and a great listener, and provided an honest price that was less than half of what the other firms wanted for an experienced lawyer of his caliber. He was able to reduce my Class A and Class B criminal charges to a non-criminal ticket, pre-trial! He always got back to my inquiries and questions and kept me calm during the whole court process. Very thankful to have him as my defense in a stressful situation!

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.

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...'t be happier! Craig is a great attorney who tells it how it is and does everything in his power to help the client. If you want someone to fight for you then Craig's your guy!

GREAT LAWYER!

Attorney Kuhary represented me in a criminal defense case involving Battery (dv)-misd, Disorderly Conduct (dv)-misd and Resisting/Obstructing a police officer-misd. The DA wanted to give me 90days in county jail on each count, fines equaling more than $2500, supervised probation for 1 year following ...release and several different forms of treatment at my expense. Craig was able to fight my final charges down; Battery-DISMISSED, misd DC(dv)--lowered to just a Disorderly Conduct ticket and I plead guilty to Resisting arrest, but the court agreed that after 1year I could have it expunged. My punishment for the above: fines of $1000 and letters of apology. That's it! No probation and No jail and in 1 year the only thing that will be on my record is a disorderly conduct ticket. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Through the entire process Craig kept me up to date on exactly what was happening with my case. He clearly explained all my options to me and informed me what he felt was the best coarse of action. He is very reasonably priced for the great service you received. I want to be a RN and obviously cannot with a violent criminal record, thanks to Craig's hard work I can now still pursue my desired profession. I would highly recommend Craig to anyone trying to save their criminal record.
