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!

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.

Know your rights or know Bill Bly

During a trip with friends to Maine for a hiking excursion I was arrested for OUI. This was my first experience with this sort of thing and being from out of state I was very worried about what would happen and how to handle it. I am self employed and don't have the time to travel back and forth to ...Maine. I was also very worried about being convicted of a criminal offense and how it would affect my record. The smartest thing I could have done was contact Bill Bly. He never over promised an over realistic outcome but was always encouraging and helpful. He took care of everything and I was able to concentrate on work and not worry about my case. Within several months Bill was able to get my case dismissed even though many of my circumstances did not look good at all. I couldn't be more pleased with my outcome and recommend you call Bill Bly as soon as you can if you are in similar circumstances. The sooner you contact Bill the sooner he can take over things and get your case on the right track. I was able to trust Bills knowledge and expertise in the field and leave things entirely in his control. Nothing could be more valuable if you find yourself in a very serious situation like this and you are a busy person. Losing time from work due to having to worry about and deal with this problem would have been a huge issue. losing the case could have been devastating for me as well. Bill Bly took care of all of that.

Outstanding service

In September of 2012, I was arrested and charged with OUI in Millinocket, ME. The arresting officer indicated to me that this would likely result in a fine and 90-day suspension in ME. In October, the DA elevated the charge to criminal OUI with aggravating circumstances, and offered plea deal of j...ail time and fines. I was not prepared for this. I hired Attorney Bly in November and we met to discuss my case at his office. I could tell I was dealing with an expert--the best in his field at dealing with these sorts of cases. He has gone to trial (and won) more than any other Maine attorney specializing in OUI defense, and his record speaks to his reputation as best of the best. He explained every step of the process and every possible scenario I could imagine. At the pre-trail conference in January 2013, Attorney Bly managed to negotiate a regular OUI charge and plea deal with the DA that would involve no jail time or alternative sentencing. Attorney Bly was also fully prepared to go to trial, as we had a strong case against the breathalyzer results. I suffer from acid reflux and GERD, and Attorney Bly has successfully argued many cases by establishing breathalyzer results as unreliable for clients with acid reflux and GERD. However, I decided to avoid the trial and accept the lesser charge of OUI, and Attorney Bly was fully supportive of my decision. Attorney Bly is a consummate professional. There was not a moment in my experience when my confidence in his ability wavered. He is also personable and makes himself available to talk at a moment's notice. Attorney Bly understands that bad things happen to good people, and he is committed to fighting injustice. He will tell you that this is not a 9-to-5 job for him--it's more serious than that. As a client of Attorney Bly's I can confirm the sincerity of his statements. If you've been charged with OUI in Maine and need a defense attorney, I strongly urge you to meet with Attorney Bly.

The Best of the Best!

Bill Bly carries all the knowledge you could ever want in an OUI attorney but what for me sets him apart is his compassion and realism. There were no smoke and mirrors, I was kept up to date on my case, never given unrealistic expectations, and was treated as a human being and not just a case number.... I was welcomed like an old friend and made to feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable if not embarrassing situation. The case turned out better than I ever could have expected and this was due to the work done by Bill and his office. I would never hesitate to recommend the Law Office of William Bly to any family, friend, or acquaintance that was in need of his services. Money well spent and dignity kept in tact. Win-win.
