Craig always was very professional, and genuinely cared about my needs as a client. I was thoroughly happy with his diligence to address new issues that were raised throughout the time he represented me. Even though the plaintiffs were dead set on a Felony charge, we worked together and were not satisfied with what they were proposing and through his keen insight he managed to convince the plaintiffs to change there charges to a misdemeanor charge. Through hIs diligence and his professionalism this has helped me to maintain a continuous path in my career field. For I am forever grateful to have had such a great lawyer representing me in resolving my issues and wish to Thank him again for his support during this crisis.

We hired Craig to defend our son. Our son was sick and had a drug problem. A DUI charge turned into far more serious charges. After 17 months Craig was able to have our son plea to probation. This was a significant accomplishment considering where we live and the fact our son is bi-racial. Craig was upfront about what our was facing. I have no doubt that another attorney would have encouraged our son to take the initial offer of almost 2 years in prison. Through the process many additional facts came to light that resulted in probation not prison. When Craig met our son he was a young man lost, with a drug problem.. Today, he is a sophomore in college, completed 10 months of rehab and has another chance at life. The only thing left to say is. Thank You!

I hired Craig to handle a criminal case I had. I was nervous because I have never had to hire an attorney for anything before, but Craig eased my mind, and "held my hand" through the process, and made the experience less scary. Great attorney and very experienced, I highly recommend him.

Attorney Kauzlarich was the best choice in an Attorney I could have hired for my case. He was extremely knowledgeable and was very straight and to the point, which I liked. He was very responsive to my e-mails and phone calls. He also billed reasonably, which is a rare find for an Attorney. The staff at his firm, were very kind to work with as well. Made a negative situation less stressful for sure!

Best lawyer I've ever worked with. Completely prepared and able to simplify terms and strategies. Felt like Mr. Kauzlarich was on my side, not just trying to rack up billable hours. Only wish he also did family law as well as his other specialties.
