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.... I told him 2 things, 1) this didn't happen and 2) review the video recording made by the police. He did, then he went to the district Atty to review and they both concurred, this didn't happen. The cost was reasonable compared to the cost of my reputation. He was quick, efficient, kept me in the loop and knew what to do. Domestic issues are tough to get out of, but when you are innocent it's nice to know there is someone out there that gives a hoot and listens to you. Thank you Craig, I know I will never need you again, but if I know someone who does you are the one I will recommend

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.

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.
