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.

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.

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...

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...
