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.

Fantastic Defense

I was recently charged with a first offense OUI. I acted fast to seek out representation as I knew the potential consequences of a conviction. After referencing this site and several other resources, I consulted with 5 lawyers. None of them painted a pretty picture for my case, but the instant con...formability with Attorney Bly made him the obvious choice. Knowing the positive feedback I had read here and that I trusted him to offer the best defense for my case, left me with confidence that he was worth his fee. My BAC was recorded at .23 and based on our initial conversation there were not looking like any obvious defenses. Luckily after receiving the full discovery, Bill called me to tell me that he thought I would loose my BMV case, but that he felt I had a criminal defense. I did loose my BVM case, but after our dispositional hearing all of my criminal charges were dismissed. I was prepared to be thanking my lucky stars to get my charged dropped to a lesser offence and when he shared that all charges were dismissed I was shocked, relieved, and impressed. Not only was he able to handle all of facts of my case to get a truly fantastic result, he was always available to put my stress at ease. The communication from his office was always fantastic. Bill or his office, were never more than a weekend away and I often even heard from them then. The timely response and professionalism that I received from his office continually assured my choice to retain Attorney Bill Bly. In short, I was prepared to loose my license for 9 months, BEST CASE SCENARIO. With Bill as my attorney, I will serve a 150 day suspension, but qualify for an interlock ignition device after 30 days. He encouraged me to be proactive about all necessary steps and I already qualify. I also had someone who was incredibly quick to reply, provided a wealth of information, and remained transparent and honest every step of the way.

Very pleased and highly recommend

Attorney Bly was very professional and helpful in resolving my case, which ended with having my charges eventually dismissed without having to go to trial. He was patient, reassuring and explained the process clearly throughout. He handled negotiating with the D.A.'s office particularly well, havin...g a strong knowledge of the process and the people in that office. I would highly recommend Attorney Bly for anyone seeking representation.
