National Recognition for Criminal Defense Excellence

Attorney Bly’s reputation for legal excellence was nationally recognized when the National Academy of Criminal Defense Attorneys (NACDA) named him one of the Top 10 Criminal Defense Attorneys in Maine. This prestigious designation highlights not only his legal skills and case results but also his dedication to client advocacy and continuing legal education.

The NACDA’s selection process is rigorous and objective. It begins with peer or internal nominations and continues through an extensive review of legal credentials, training, verdicts, client and peer reviews, and contributions to the legal field. Only a small number of attorneys make it through each round—making the final Top 10 selection a rare distinction.

A Leading Voice in Maine OUI/DUI Defense

Attorney William Bly is one of the few criminal defense lawyers in Maine who is both:

  • Certified as a Breath Alcohol Technician by the U.S. Department of Transportation
  • Qualified to instruct field sobriety testing, the same methods used by law enforcement

His deep knowledge of breathalyzer technology, police procedures, and constitutional rights gives him a powerful edge when defending clients charged with Operating Under the Influence (OUI) in Maine. Whether questioning the legality of a traffic stop or challenging the reliability of test results, Attorney Bly knows how to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and leverage them in your favor.

Trusted Criminal Defense for Serious Charges

While Attorney Bly is widely regarded for his expertise in OUI defense, his practice spans the full range of criminal charges in Maine, including:

  • Drug possession and trafficking
  • Domestic violence
  • Sex crimes
  • Theft and white-collar offenses
  • Felony and misdemeanor charges

He understands that the stakes in any criminal case are high. That’s why every client at The Maine Criminal Defense Group receives direct, hands-on attention and a carefully crafted defense strategy tailored to the facts of their case.

A Proven Advocate for Maine Residents

With decades of courtroom experience and a passion for protecting the rights of the accused, William T. Bly continues to be a trusted advocate for those facing life-altering criminal charges. His results, credentials, and national recognition speak for themselves.

So thankful I chose this team to represent me. They’re the best, hands down. Nathan Hitchcock proved my innocence not once but TWICE, including a trial by jury. I have a family in law enforcement who told me “Bill Bly and his team are the best. If I would recommend anyone, it would be them.”
