Hire Bill...you'll sleep better!

I am only in the early stages of this Maine OUI process, but I can state the following categorically. First, to the extent I have any talents at all, I am very good at judging character and competence. (It would be hard to overstate how valuable a skill that turns out to be!) Second, Bill Bly ranks A...AA+ on both counts. I have been tried twice for OUI in Massachusetts, both times acquitted. When I was charged in Maine (my real problem was heart trouble, which lead me to insist that the officers noting my "erratic" driving take me to the hospital, where I spent two nights before they were able to stabilize my heart rhythm), I didn’t know any local attorneys. I found Bill on the web. What a fortuitous occasion! It only took a couple of short conversations for me to gauge Bill’s character and competence, and, since then, I haven’t worried at all about what the ultimate outcome of this matter will be. Hire Bill…you’ll sleep better!

Highly Recommend Att. Bly for DWI

As someone facing an out of state DWI charge I found Attorney Bly to be helpful, informative and readily available as I faced arrest and charges. I highly recommend him for legal counsel and know you can count on fair, realistic and ethical representation.

I was charged with a felony OUI, felony habitual offender and theft of a motor vehicle and Attorney Bly beat the case at trial.

I spent nearly 60 days in jail before my family bailed me out. Attorney Bly filed a writ for habeas corpus due to the fact that the Sheriff held me illegally. Once I was out, I met with my family and Attorney Bly to discuss my case. I've used a number of attorneys in the past five years and none o...f those attorneys had the guts to take my cases to trial. All of them had advised me to plead guilty in the past and as a result, I was in a very difficult position and facing a felony charge. Attorney Bly brought a professional photographer onto the case to photograph and video the Old Port which is where I was accused of driving. He also brought a top notch private investigator on board to interview the State's witnesses. The trial lasted 2 days and I was facing a mandatory 3 year jail sentence. The jury came back with a verdict of NOT GUILTY. I've never been more stressed out and then relieved about anything in my life. The only people who believed in me were my family and Attorney Bly. He never questioned my innocence and never tried to get me to plead guilty. I thank God that Attorney Bly came into my life. He kept me and my family informed during the entire process. When necessary, he would meet with me at night or on the weekends. Whenever I needed him, he was there for me. Thank you Attorney Bly! I owe you.
