Whitney Morrow

By suggesting that I seek counseling as part of my legal strategy, attorney Hitchcock helped me to take the necessary steps to both get help with my drinking, and reduce my charge.

Impeccable Lawyer

From the moment I hired The Maine Criminal Defense Group it was all hands on deck! The team was incredibly helpful, involved, organized and responsive. My experience with Attorney Nathan Hitcock was nothing but positive! He is genuinely kind, and through the entire process, I always sensed he wanted ...the best outcome for me while keeping my expectations realistic. In the end, he delivered the most excellent outcome, and I am truly grateful to him. I highly recommend Attorney Hitchcock.

Deferred decision

Nathan served me extremely well. This group saved me from a criminal charge and represented me to the fullest. Can’t thank Nathan enough for fighting to provide me with a very favorable outcome. I’d highly recommend him and the entire group. Fantastic job! Couldn’t be happier with their work

Thank you for exceeding expectations!

I hired Atty. Nathan Hitchcock for my teenage son, who was arrested for OUI charges after telling the officer he was the driver, when in fact he was not. As soon as he was assigned to our case, he quickly went to work on our behalf! He asked all the right questions, and provided excellent suggestio...ns on what we could do to help our case. He was able to obtain video footage from a local convenient store and has been very proactive in getting this resolved & charges dropped! He has been in constant contact and is always extremely approachable, responsive, empathetic & professional. I would highly recommend Atty. Hitchcock to anyone & everyone who needs a lawyer that will represent them to the fullest extent that they are able!

Exceeds expectations...

After accumulating my 4th OUI at a BAC of .21, I was left with facing severe jail time, loss of license for many years, and steep financial hardship, not only for fines but for vehicle adjustments including alcohol testing equipment. I spoke to several lawyers that would take my case and found only ...one that treated it as a family member would. The ENTIRE office at the Criminal Defense group stepped up quick and took over! Mr. Hitchcock along with Mia in the office kept me in close contact about any and all information and made me feel like a part of their family. To make a long story short, I not only never lost my license, my charge was reduced and 15 hours of community service was my ONLY penalty. Mr. Bly's team of professionals are absolute miracle workers! I thank them all so very much and would recommend anyone in need of legal assistance to rely on this team and Mr. Hitchcock.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Hitchcock began his legal career working as a law clerk for WTB LAW prior to the start of his 3rd year of law school. During his law school experience, he worked at the State Attorney General's Office prosecuting drug crimes. During his time working for WTB LAW as a law clerk, I had ample time to observe him and review his work. I was so impressed with his skill set that I offered him a position as a 1st year associate at WTB LAW. Attorney Hitchcock's experience runs the gamut of criminal cases and includes argument for sentencing on a high profile arson case, assisting me in a high stakes felony sex case, arguing motions to suppress evidence in OUI cases and conducting a multitude of bail hearings. In addition to the great deal of experience he's gained since becoming a member of WTB LAW, he has attended numerous CLE events, including a DUI seminar in Boston and a 4th Amendment seminar in NYC. Attorney Hitchcock is truly a rising star."
