We Highly Recommend Attorney William T Bly!!!

I recommend you choose Bill Bly as your attorney and you will not regret the decision for one second!!! We chose Bill Bly as our attorney to represent our son while he was staying in Maine this past summer. We called him after reading all of these wonderful reviews and we have to say everything writ...ten about him here is absolutely true!!!! He is an amazing attorney. Our son was cited with an alcohol violation and we are from another state. We were a little apprehensive about how to handle everything since the laws in Maine for minors are very different than in other states. We were far away from our son and yet Bill assured us that he would help us in any way possible. He was very thorough and professional and always had our son’s best interests in mind. Bill was very responsive and was able to have the case dismissed. He was always very honest about what he would or would not be able to do and assured us he would do his best. Thank you Bill!

Thank you Attorney Bly!

I WOULD TRUST ATTY BLY W/ MY LIFE … IN FACT, I DID! There is very little in this world that scares me more than the jail cell bars being locked and knowing that I am trapped behind bars in prison. However, after a “Hit & Run” accident that I fled and a .289 Breathalyzer Report (over 3.5 times the l...egal limit in the State of Maine), that is exactly where I found myself. Dressed in orange and chains and shackled to another prisoner, I found myself arraigned in front of a judge and facing MANDATORY jail time of up to One Year behind bars. The DA immediately offered a plea bargain of 30 days behind bars in exchange for a guilty plea. 30 days … 720 hours … for a first time offender … I was SCARED! I knew I wouldn’t last in jail. Forget my freedom; I felt my life was in jeopardy. I found an attorney that was eager to take my check, review the facts of my ccase, and advise me that " … there is no way around it; you ARE going to jail." I knew I needed help – much better help than my current attorney was giving me. I did my research. I examined every attorney I could find in the state of Maine. I reviewed areas of expertise, case results, defense strategies, percentages of plea bargain versus trial, and trial records / winning percentage in jury trials. There was one name that stood “head and shoulders” above the rest: Attorney William Bly of Biddeford, Maine. If ANYONE was going to represent me, it was going to be Attorney Bly. I called his office (on a Saturday night @ 1:00am) and left a message. My phone call was returned by 8:30am the next day (Sunday morning!). I met with Attorney Bly the next week – and fired my original attorney after leaving his ooffice, before I even reached my car in the parking lot. Attorney Bly poured over and scoured my background and medical records – and the Maine State Police cruiser video of my arrest – a video showing me barely able to stand and an audio recording of repeated belligerence in which I continually verbally assaulted the Trooper and called him a “F***ing A**hole” on AT LEAST 15 ocassions. Attorney Bly and his Expert Witnesses devoured my medical reports and found that I had been diagnosed with Hyperglycemia only 6 days prior to my arrest and concluded my actions that evening were a direct result of a Hyperglycemic episode. We (Atty Bly & Multiple Expert Witnesses) readied ourselves for a Jury Trial and when the DA became aware of Atty Bly’s strategy, they discarded their original 30 day jail term offer and presented a new plea offer: “Hit and Run” dismissed, plead guilty to a misdemeanor, and ABSOLUTELY NO JAIL TIME. Offer accepted. Jail may very well have (literally) killed me. It is not an overstatement when I say that Attorney Bill Bly saved my life. If you need an attorney in the State of Maine – and if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you do – you would be foolish not to (at least) have a FREE CONSULTATION with one of the most experienced and gifted lawyers in the state. My family and I will never look for another aattorney. You shouldn’t either! RM, Boston, MA

William Bly Won't Let You Down

I will with out hesitation recommend Bill to anyone !!! He fought diligently for a year to ensure me the best results possible and to avoid trial. In the end Bill saved me my career and kept me out of jail. There is really no way to fully express my gratitude. Bill and Ann are always easily assesible... for questions or even a pep talk to clam your nerves. I can’t imagine making it through this process with out them. Thank you Bill and Ann!!!

Attorney Bly was tremendous

Mr. Bly was great in all aspects of defending me in my OUI case. He knows the law very well and is known in the Maine State Court system as a great Attorney. He was honest from the start and fought the whole time during the case. Attorney Bly knows many different defenses to a case and will use any o...r all if he thinks it will help. He also has great judgment when it comes to the court system and how it works. The judges and prosecutors all respect him because of his ethics and knowledge.
