The Best Family Law Attorney in Maine

Ezra Willey is an outstanding attorney who truly knows family law inside and out. He is not only highly competent and fierce in the courtroom, but also honest, ethical, and deeply committed to doing what’s right. Ezra and his team go above and beyond—keeping me informed every step of the way and alwa...ys making me feel supported. I’ve also had the privilege of working with his father, Larry, and together they bring unmatched knowledge, integrity, and compassion. I cannot recommend Ezra and his firm enough.

Best Attorney in Maine

Ezra Willey has been my son's attorney for many years. Ezra has been a strong an unwavering advocate of my son and his fight with severe mental illness. Ezra's professionalism, keen intelligence and insight regarding the interaction of people with brain disorders and the legal system saved my son's l...ife. Without Ezra I fear my son would have been lost in the legal system and incarcerated without the treatment he needed and because of Ezra, is now getting. Ezra is a gifted, caring and thoughtful attorney.

Ezra will fight for your case. There is no one better to represent you!

I had four other lawyers office recommend Ezra as one of the best at dealing with difficult cases! They said he will fight for your case and man did he. My case was nearing its end when he jumped in and he turned it all back in my favor somehow. No other lawyer wanted to take that on but he did. He s...aw the injustice and cared about my daughter and I. We were people with feelings not just a paycheck. Together with his tream he made us feel so supported and calmed my nerves. He was just brilliant during the trial, super focused and organized. His plan on how to approach it all was well thought out. He navigated the other lawyer with ease. He is amazing at what he does. Everyone I talked to seemed to know who he was and said how amazing a lawyer he was. I would recommend him to anyone. He is the best out there!!

Forever Grateful Will D and Anna D

Although Ezra dropped as a client due my lack of transparency and being forthright with details that would negatively impacted my case and jeopardized a favorable outcome for my daughter and I and perhaps jeopardize his personal integrity. He educated me to as how the system works. And how to fully ...disclose any future plans and present situations no matter how small they may seem to your attorney to determine what is the best course of action. He even referred me to another attorney. I did as he advised and I stopped having my daughter and I from spending the night away from my primary residence at my girlfriends house and registered my daughter in the proper school district where I reside. I took his advice he gave me and I was able to apply to my new attorney client relationship and I have reached a divorce settlement judgment with my wife which allowed me to protect my daughter from mental, emotional and physical abuse and do what is best for the well being of my daughter without being taken a step back financially to be able to care for my daughter. I now have Sole Parental Rights and Responsibilities of my daughter and a divorce settlement being finalized that works to my daughters best interest. Ezra was firm and professional even when he dispatched me as a client and his team were professionals who made this difficult time so much more manageable and easier on my mental and emotional health. I can't say enough about them. I would recommend him to anyone who want a competent, ethical attorney who will give you it to you straight while being kind and professional. Thank you Ezra for all your hard work and again my sincerest apologies for forcing your hand to dispatch my case.

Unprofessional and incompetent

Extremely unprofessional and lacking in competence. Instead of offering knowledgeable legal guidance, he resorted to bullying tactics, name-calling, and unconstructive behavior. He appeared unfamiliar with basic legal principles that should be second nature in his area of practice. Also, he encourag...ed unnecessary legal actions, seemingly to prolong the case and increase fees rather than prioritize his client’s best interests. I would strongly advise others to seek representation elsewhere.

Replied last October 21, 2025

I am very sorry to hear that this was your experience. I have no idea who this is and I would encourage you to reach out to the office and discuss whatever your issues were with me directly so that I can try to help remedy whatever the issue for you was. Unfortunately, though, I doubt this was from a client as there is no name calling or bullying tactics with my clients - that is just not something that would ever happen. I do suspect this is someone who was on the other side of a case and I believe I may know who it is, which was an unrepresented individual who made the matter I was working on a total disaster. If I am wrong, though, and if this review is from a former client, please reach out and talk to me so I can know what the issue was. Regardless, I am very sorry you had a bad experience. That is the exact opposite of what I strive to provide for any and all clients of mine.
