Confident choice

I did not know criminal speeding was a thing until I was pulled over in York going 60 in a 30 late for a wedding rehearsal. I felt so bad about the whole situation, knew I was in the wrong. The more I read about the seriousness of my situation the worse I felt. This was my first time being pulled ove...r and I didn't know what to do. Thankfully Bill was there to help. When I first talked to him he put me at ease saying there is much worse things I could have done and that if the right steps were taken we should be able to get it reduced. Out of everyone I consulted he was the only one with to say he wanted to do better than just getting my ticket reduced to non-criminal. Most made that sound difficult and a best case thing. While Bill did not provide any guarantees, he was confident in what he could do for me so I hired him. He had me take an in person defensive driving class and send up my transcript (I am a college senior). I also did some volunteering which if you haven't done in awhile, like me, is a great way to make some new friends. Any question I had Bill was able to answer and he did so quickly. Being from out of state Bill was also able to make all appearances for me which I am extremely thankful for. I'm sure Bill had many cases to handle the day of my dis-positional conference, and while mine was likely the most minor, he still called multiple time to explain how it was going. In the end he got the criminal charges dropped and my ticket reduced to 15 mph over the speed limit. I am extremely thankful and have learned my lesson. With Bills help and guidance I was able to make the right choices in my case and he was able to make my big mistake a minor one. Definitely give him a call.

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

OUI Resolution

I am pleased to recommend Bill Bly as a top-notch defense lawyer who did a great job resolving my OUI complaint. Bill knows the people and the law. He takes the time necessary to truly understand the facts and circumstances of the complaint as well as your personal and professional needs. He then ...develops a strategy to pursue a successful resolution. With Bill's expertise we were able to have the OUI complaint dismissed with a plea to a much lesser charge.

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.
