Best Decision I Have Ever Made

I was charged with OUI/ refusing a breathalyzer and having underage passengers in the vehicle. I am from out of state and at the time was terrified considering i had never been in trouble like this before. I was referred to Attorney Bly by an in state lawyer and cannot thank either of these two men e...nough. Bill was entirely transparent during the whole ordeal, letting me know the worst and best possible outcomes and explained each step of the process as they occurred. He was able to complete the court hearings and disposition without my presence (so i didnt have to drive 4+ hours each time) and took care of everything using an extremely convenient online website. Any time i had a question Bill and his employees were there for me and answered me in a time friendly and descriptive manner. Bill even met with me at his office on a weekend when the office was closed to discuss my case. Bill's confidence and intelligence was very comforting and i couldnt imagine having hired anybody else. I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney William T Bly to anyone in legal trouble and I thank Bill for everything he has done for me. My case ended with 1 year of probation in the state of Maine, a fine, community service and a substance abuse evaluation with no license suspension or further legal issues. I would hire Bill 10/10 times and again, would suggest his services to anyone in need of legal help. Thank you!!

New Lease on Life

I made a very poor decision back in March of this year concerning alcohol and faced an OUI conviction in the State of Maine that almost assured me losing my job and setting me back in a career that I have worked decades to build. My wife found attorney Bly, choosing him because of his professional we...bsite profile and proximity relative to my case. We are so glad that she made the choice to retain Bill! He basically under promised and over delivered. Starting from our first meeting he was upfront and honest about the severity of my situation. Bill layed out a plan and timeline on how he would try to minimize the damage and use his knowledge and relationships to potentially negotiate a more favorable outcome. He never led us on regarding my chances in this case, but instead kept us updated on what was happening, what our course of action would be as well as our options. His office team was also great answering any questions that we had, walking us through the entire process and reminding us of important deadlines. The final result was a negotiated outcome that leaves me keeping my job, avoiding an OUI conviction as well as jail time. Although I am learning a painful lesson from my bad decision, Bill's work has given me a new lease on life! I feel that from day one of this process that we were a team and he was taking my case personally. Bill is a stand up guy who got the job done for me. I now consider him as someone who I would recommend as well as a trusted advisor. Sincerely, Brad C

great attorney

I got a DUI and criminal mischief case dropped due in full to Attorney Bly's professionalism, assertiveness and attention to detail. Attorney Bly was always there when I needed to talk to him. Very rarely did he have me deal with anyone but himself. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a grea...t lawyer who will work arduously to get your case dismissed. I am from Massachusetts so it was tough to trust someone that I was unable to get referred to but my belief in him from the minute I talked to him was very comforting.

Hired William as my lawyer

I was pulled over for an OUI in September. I have never had a issue with this so I was very nervous. I found Bill on his website. Never getting a lawyer from the web I was little concerned. When I walked into the office and sat down with him, I knew within five minute I had made a good no great choi...ce. He told me all I needed to know and what the issues could be. He was up front and made me feel a lot better when I left the office. I was still worried and whenever I contacted him . He would respond that day and I was always updated on my issues status. Bill knows the law and I would recommend him highly if you need an attorney. He is not just a good attorney but a very good person.

Outstanding results from a very competent lawyer!!!!

I first found Bill here on this website. Based on the reviews I decided to at least interview him for my case of OUI. From the first he was very personable, extremely straight forward, and comfortable. The first 1 hour consultation actually took over an hour and a half. I could tell his was very ...interested not only in my case, but me as a person. He asked what I thought was my best hoped for outcome and I replied "dismissal". Here we are a few months later after my dispositional conference with the DA on my case. I could actually see the DA through a window as her and Bill discussed my case. Her expression first was very warm and inviting as in meeting an old friend. Then she was looking at paperwork very intently and had a furrowed brow. Then I could see a very no-nonsense conversation occurring. And last a satisfied professional smile on her face. Bill came in to my conference room a few minutes later to tell me he was able to point out the difficulties of the case in terms of prosecution, and then his proposal of a clean cut case to the DA. It entailed putting me fundamentally on something like a suspended sentence for a year, at the end of which if I provided documentation of continued treatment the state, and lack of any further legal problems, would then allow the complete dismissal of my case. Which of course I will fully do!!!! So, bottom line Bill's skills, personable but professional demeanor, and straightforward style obtained exactly the result I hoped for and saved my personal life in this time of a "once in a lifetime" traumatic experience. I totally think Bill was just the right lawyer for the circumstances and the results show it!!!! You can't go wrong selecting him for your case!
