Its unfortunate that in the past i have had experience with numerous attorneys.From high line 1000 dollar an hour firms down to the local attorney at 100 dollars an hour.Some good..some bad..some amazing.Upon recieving my OUI,which i may add was a breathalizer refusal i called probably twenty differe...nt firms.Not being from the area my knowledge was minimal at best.I asked around and was told to call two specific major firms in portland..which i did.After getting off the phone with them i realized my five grand was more important than myself.Which at times the bigger firms tend to approach the courts with their big name and not the real work needed to win.I know this after spending twenty five thousand and recieving very poor representation which left me in a poor situation that could of been avoided.Upon spending two minutes on the phone with Bill i knew i found somebody i felt comfortrable handling my situation.From A-Z i couldn't at any point have asked for a better attorney.All my questions were answered.My calls were returned promptly and the wealth of knowledge on oui defense was amazing.Which carried into the courtroom as the da spit a deal at us i couldn't refuse prior to our suppression hearing.There was no trail,but had we went i'm confident we would of beat them in the court room.My situation just didn't allow a chance of losing my licsense..which i may add i didn't.Nor was my insurance or driving record affected at all.Normally,i wouldn't write a review of this nature,but honestly i just hate to see people make a mistake and suffer for it by making a bad choice in terms of representation.local law enforcment and the court systems are out to hang people these days.Don't hang yourself by hiring an attorney thats not competent.You can hire a cheaper attorney,but i promise your gonna pay for it later.I highly recommend Bill Bly for oui defense.

I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney William Bly for anyone in need of an attorney to represent him/her in a DUI case. I hired his partner, Attorney Chris Nielsen, to handle my DUI defense in November of 2008. Attorney Nielsen was unable to attend my Suppression Hearing, so Attorney Bly represented ...me on his behalf. I could not have asked for a more professional and prepared defense. He attacked my case like it was his own. Prior to the hearing, he asked if I had any questions and prepared me for what was going to happen. His confidence, and obvious knowledge of DUI law, comforted me during a difficult time and I was assured that I was receiving the best defense possible. As a result of his determined, aggressive, honest, experienced approach to my case (both in preparation for trial and in courtroom proceedings), I received a favorable outcome without even having to go to trial. Attorney Bly has an ease in navigating complex fact patterns that give the impression that what he does is easy; I know that I am lucky to have had the good fortune of having such a passionate, intelligent, ethical and driven advocate that ensured a successful outcome. I cannot thank him enough. I trust his judgment, I trust his ethics, and I highly recommend him.

From the day I first talked with William Bly, I knew he would win my case. He was straight foward, here is your options, but this is what you want. William Bly did everything he said he would, even with a few obsticles in the way. Dealing with him and his staff from out of state, I felt as if I was t...here in Maine. There are a lot of lawyers out there, but if you get a DUI, Nielsen and Bly is the law group you need.

Attorney Bly is an extremely dedicated professional. From start to finish he goes over the case with a fine toothed comb and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to building your defense. He is extremely knowledgeable, and is quick to answer any question no matter how complicated. He has an enormou...s network of top professionals in various fields and he is quick to bring them into your case to provide invaluable expert testimony. Not only does he come to court prepared but he has an excellent presents in the court room. He quickly reacts to everything that the prosecutor is trying to accomplish and he commands the attention of every member of the jury to clearly get his point acrossed. He is extremely focused on defending your rights and your freedom and he truly cares about getting you a favorable outcome. After just one meeting with him you feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders and you can rest assured that your case is in very good hands.

Mr. Bly was an excellent attorney throughout my case. He was professional and always responded to my emails in a timely manner. I do not live in Maine and Mr. Bly was always there to represent on my behalf. A conviction would have required jail time and Mr. Bly was fully prepared to take my case to t...rial. Fortunately for me, a deal was offered that Mr. Bly advised me to take and it couldn't have worked any better. I would highly recommend Mr. Bly if you need an attorney.
