I am very pleased with having William T Bly as my lawyer. My case could have had several outcomes and as a result in the end with having Mr. Bly, my case came out with the best outcome as possible. This was done with his hard work and knowledge as a lawyer. I would recommend William T Bly to be their lawyer. I was very well represented during my whole case and pleased with my outcome.

David C., Rhode Island


Mr. Bly is very efficient and always made sure I understood what is going on about my case. I am sure he is the best attorney in his specialty in the area. Actually, I have no doubt about that having tried somebody else. He is worth every penny. He does not give false hopes but is committed to provide the best defense possible and is very successful in doing that. I can go on and on… I am very pleased with the help I received.

Unfortunately about 5 months ago I was arrested for an OUI. This was my first time ever being involved with the law and at first had no idea where to turn. I had a chance about 2 days after my incident to meet and talk with Attorney Bly who was able to provide me all the steps involved in my case. After talking with him I felt very confident that he would be able to handle my case and help me through the entire court process. After my DMV hearing I was informed by Attorney Bly that he got my driving privileges back and that I would not face any suspension regarding the DMV portion of my case. After a couple more stressful months of waiting on the court process to continue and wondering what was going to happen he was able to strike a deal with DA without my case even going to trial. The deal presented to me was better than I was expecting and there was no way I could turn it down. These last 5 months have been very stressful on myself and my family and my confidence in Attorney Bly handling my OUI case showed in his ability to work well with the courts, giving me all the information I needed and making sure I knew every step of the process. Attorney Bly was always available for any questions I had, he worked hard and has a very dedicated and professional staff at his office. If you are looking for a great attorney I would highly recommend Attorney Bly to handle your case!

When faced with an OUI accusation and being from out of state; I did not knowing where to turn. The process is very complicated and sometimes it felt like a roller coaster ride. With each step of the process Bill Bly was right there fighting for my rights with confidence and outstanding expertise. He knew my case inside and out which was clearly the result of his extensive preparation. I was impressed with his straightforward assessment of my situation and clear outline of my choices. I am so glad I followed his advice. My case went all the way to trial and I could not have asked for a better outcome.

It’s unfortunate that in the past i have had experience with numerous attorneys. From high line 1000 dollar an hour firms down to the local attorney at 100 dollars an hour .Some good, some bad… some amazing. Upon receiving my OUI, which I may add was a breathalizer refusal, I called probably twenty different firms. Not being from the area my knowledge was minimal at best. I asked around and was told to call two specific major firms in Portland, which I did. After getting off the phone with them I realized my five grand was more important than myself, which at times the bigger firms tend to approach the courts with their big name and not the real work needed to win. I know this after spending twenty five thousand and receiving very poor representation which left me in a poor situation that could of been avoided. Upon spending two minutes on the phone with Bill I knew I found somebody I felt comfortable handling my situation. From A-Z I couldn’t at any point have asked for a better attorney. All my questions were answered. My calls were returned promptly and the wealth of knowledge on OUI defense was amazing, which carried into the courtroom as the DA spit a deal at us I couldn’t refuse prior to our suppression hearing. There was no trial, but had we went I’m confident we would of beat them in the courtroom. My situation just didn’t allow a chance of losing my license… which I may add I didn’t. Nor was my insurance or driving record affected at all. Normally, I wouldn’t write a review of this nature, but honestly I just hate to see people make a mistake and suffer for it by making a bad choice in terms of representation. Local law enforcement and the court systems are out to hang people these days. Don’t hang yourself by hiring an attorney that’s not competent. You can hire a cheaper attorney, but I promise you’re gonna pay for it later. I highly recommend Bill Bly for OUI defense.

Brock F., New York


I could not have asked for a more professional and prepared defense. He attacked my case like it was his own. Prior to the hearing, he asked if I had any questions and prepared me for what was going to happen. His confidence, and obvious knowledge of DUI law, comforted me during a difficult time and I was assured that I was receiving the best defense possible. As a result of his determined, aggressive, honest, experienced approach to my case (both in preparation for trial and in courtroom proceedings), I received a favorable outcome without even having to go to trial. Attorney Bly has an ease in navigating complex fact patterns that give the impression that what he does is easy; I know that I am lucky to have had the good fortune of having such a passionate, intelligent, ethical and driven advocate that ensured a successful outcome. I cannot thank him enough. I trust his judgment, I trust his ethics, and I highly recommend him.

Susan M., Maine


From the day I first talked with William Bly, I knew he would win my case. He was straightforward, here are your options, but this is what you want. William Bly did everything he said he would, even with a few obstacles in the way. Dealing with him and his staff from out of state, I felt as if I was there in Maine. There are a lot of lawyers out there, but if you get a DUI, William Bly is the DUI defense lawyer you need.

William A., Connecticut


I never expected to need an attorney in the first place and was very new to the whole process. Through his knowledge and very professional approach, I was quickly assured that I had made the right decision in hiring Attorney Bly to represent me. Throughout my case, he continued to impress me with his dedication to his work and to making me feel like I was his only client. I feel strongly that he is the best attorney I could’ve had and would recommend him to anyone. After a year of his very hard work and dedication, Attorney Bly and I achieved the most favorable outcome in my case, and saying “thank you” doesn’t express how very grateful I am for the excellent work Attorney Bly has done for me.

Jared R., Maine


I’ve used a number of attorneys in the past five years and none of 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 as well as 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.
