William T Bly

Atty Bly couldn't promise exact results, but predicted the course of actions and likely results. He got exactly what he targeted for results. He comes through as he promises. Make sure to participate and provide as much backup, info and additional resources for his work. I got extra letters and did extra (driving safety) courses for him to use. This kind of jam is painful and expensive, and it was ++ expensive to make it better/settle... but well worth it while facing the alternative. Its best to stay out of trouble, but if you find yourself in a spot, calling Atty Bly is the best move.

I came into Bill’s office a completely broken down mess in early June 2017. The night before I had pulled over on the side of the road during a panic attack. I wanted to keep myself and others on the road safe. An officer pulled behind me to do a wellness check. He had seen I had a history of a previous OUI conviction and seemed to assume that I was driving under the influence. I have had major knee surgery and have some physical limitations, unable to perform physical sobriety testing. The officer arrested me, believing I was intoxicated and took me to the county jail. Upon arrival to the jail, I asked to use the bathroom as I take diuretics for high blood pressure. This request was denied repeatedly without any valid reason. The officer confirmed that urinating would not effect the breathalyzer result but would not budge. At almost 10 minutes into the wait period, I really had to go! In frustration, I said once, that if he wasn’t going to let me use the bathroom I wasn’t sure I was taking his test. I was then hauled off by guards and thrown into a holding cell. I was now facing a second OUI refusal and was devestated. Bill was honest right from the get go. The penalties I was facing were severe. After hearing my story, he reassured me that he believed me. The DA made no reasonable offer so we prepared for jury trial. Bill spent 4-5 hours prepping me for trial. We went to trial in December 2017. I could not have asked for any better defense. Bill was able to bring into serious question the officers’ memory, documentation and knowledge of field sobriety testing. The trial went unexpectedly into a second day. After almost four hours of deliberations, the jury was hung so a mistrial was declared! The DA’s office eventually offered a driving to endanger plea which I happily accepted. The other part of my case was the BMV portion. It took four rescheduled hearings for it to finally be heard on the fifth. Of note, the hearing was after my trial. The officer failed to appear, my license suspension was rescinded and it was over! Unbelievable! I could not have hoped for better outcomes. Regardless of our victory and even if my case had ended differently, I was very impressed with Bill and his office staff. Always polite, sympathetic, responsive and informative. A plus communication! I very much appreciated Bill’s honesty, even when it may have not been something I wanted to hear. He’s extremely knowledgeable and a strong advocate. I highly recommend him to anyone faced with this terrifying predicament that has significant and potentially life changing consequences. I am beyond grateful!
