What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

DUI and CPL

I would recommend William Maze to everyone. I got pulled over for speeding and i was arrested for a DUI and I had my concealed weapon on me and the cop searched my truck and found it and never read me my rights for my CPL license, and William Maze beat the case and got it totally dismissed after numerous trials back and forth for the gun charge. He was very knowledgeable about all the rights that I had and I appreciate all the hard work and dedication he has been doing to help me. I look forward to keeping him as a lawyer and would recommend him to everyone!!!

 

 

Gets the job done

Was pulled over for drunk driving but also got charged with felony concealed weapons charge and possession of marijuana. I ended up getting the felony dropped and sobriety court due to my extensive criminal history. He made me feel very comfortable and confident within all courtroom proceedings. He was also very knowledgeable and easy to talk to you. He explained all of the proceedings in a manner to which I could understand and explained all options to me, also giving his opinion on which one he thought was best. I highly recommend his services

 

 

A lawyers lawyer! (By attorney Jim Amberg, as a client!)

This is a new one for me as I have reviewed William professionally as him and I both practice criminal defense and conduct far more jury trials than the average criminal defense attorney. Part of knowing William is that I know he handles freedom of information act cases. So when I needed to sue the city of Dearborn for failing to provide me discovery in a case I was handling after I had foia'd it, I knew there was only one person to call. 

William took my case and immediately filed a complaint against Dearborn. After about two weeks of denials, William forced their hand and was able to obtain all of the secret documents unlawfully kept from me. In essence, he uncovered a major coverup by the City of Dearborn. These records included videos of the incident as well as a lengthy secret police report. 

The circuit court judge eventually ruled that because Dearborn had given me what they represented was 'everything,' the case was dismissed over William's very forceful written and oral objections. Rather than stop there, William filed what can only be described as the nuclear bomb of appellate briefs on the City. The Court of Appeals in a split decision, denied our relief. 

Undeterred, William kept up my confidence and filed a killer brief in the Michigan Supreme Court. And then a funny thing happened.....In one of the more rare things that can take place in the Supreme Court, the court in a unanimous memorandum opinion, reversed the circuit court and court of appeals and rules completely in my favor. A memorandum opinion is rare because it only takes place when the court judges are so convinced that one party is correct, that they rule on the case without having oral arguments! 

Now if you type in James Amberg v City of Dearborn in google, you can read the end product of William's fearless work and dedication to his clients and his job as a lawyer. He singlehandedly changed the law for foia in Michigan much to the benefit of us, the citizens.

As a lawyer who wins a lot of cases and tries hard to win every case I take, I can honestly say that if you need a lawyer who will fight for you when the chips are down and is not afraid to stand up to the unfairness of the legal system, you only need to make the call to William Maze.

 

 

 

Saved my career and reputation

I was foolish enough and got myself a DUI. Mr. Maze represented me and helped to get my case reduced to a reckless driving ticket. He took his time to explain all the details of the case and guided me step by step through this very difficult and painful time. He was always punctual and handled my case with a lot of sensitivity. His relationship to the law enforcement community is another great advantage. 

He is very professional and trustworthy attorney and will recommend him to any of my friends.

 

 

By Steve Varner (who wanted his name attributed to this post!)

If you've got trouble and need the best attorney in Michigan, I highly recommend you contact William Maze of Maze Legal Group. Maze has represented me for the better part of 15 years and has always taken care of me and my friends! He will fight for you even when you don't want to fight for your self anymore. I have to add a quote from Maze when he was representing me a few years ago. I was ready to throw in the towel and make a deal because I was worried about the outcome, Maze stated, "Varner if you want to make a deal then that's your decision but you will have to fire me first because we will win this." I stuck it out and sure enough a few hours later the jury came back with a NOT GUILTY verdict! Maze has always been reasonable with his cost and impeccable as far as a defense attorney goes! I also have to add the fact that Maze has NEVER lost a case in which he represented me on. Even when they had me on video for the "alleged" offense!!!

The only lawyer to have by your side 

I was a new graduate looking to begin my career and knew that this charge could have detrimental consequences to my future. Knowing the situation that I was in, I started to research lawyers and found that William stood out among the rest. He seemed to have the most determined personality and a drive to be the best. His reputation, certifications, memberships, and trial experience showed me that he really cared about what he did and was going to fight until the bitter end.

His staff was very professional, informative, and helpful whenever I had questions or concerns. I always got quick responses and would be able to talk to Maze directly if I needed too. He was always prepared and knew exactly what our next move was going to be. I was walked through each part of my case and was never left in the dark. These factors let me know my case was always a priority.
From the first day I met William he made me feel comfortable that my case was being handled by the right person and that he was going to do anything to work in my best interest. During this long case and many courtroom visits, William was able to keep my mind at ease, even when I felt I had no chance. I would even have a boost of confidence when he simply walked into the courtroom. This was because everyone knew who he was, and they knew it wasn't going to be easy. I am proud to say that I know William Maze and believe he will only get better as time goes forward.
When the final day came, I finally heard the result of all his hard work.
CASE DISMISSED!!
 

"I recommend William as the only person you should have by your side during this time in life"

"You gave me my life back, Thank You!"

 

 

Excellent Lawyer 

Mr. Maze was great. He got my DUI reduced to careless driving and disorderly conduct no probation! I highly recommend him. He may be priced higher than other attorneys but I believe you get what you pay for! He is a bulldog that fights for his clients. I could have taken it to trial but did not want to chance it with the offer from the prosecutor he got me.

 

 

 

I received a DUI in CA while driving on my AZ license. I was in the process of moving to MI when this happened (I was on vacation). Mr. Maze provided me with solid advice on the potential consequences of switching my license over before / after the conclusion of the process in California. He also provided me with the name of a colleague in AZ to advise me of the potential ramifications there. I did not wind up hiring Mr. Maze, as the case is being argued in CA; but if I should need an attorney in MI, I will certainly give him a call.

 

 

Superb representation 

After coming into a bit of legal trouble regarding leaving 2 hunting knifes and a bottle rocket in a carry on at the airport on my way to a vacation. After returning home from a relaxing trip, I began to search for an attorney to help me handle my mistake. My search quickly led me to Mr. William Maze. His expertise in criminal law and the local court resulting in a quick and outstanding resolution. The matter was conclude on the day of the pretrial, no need to come back to the courthouse weeks later for sentencing, solved day one with minimum fines applied. Furthermore, Mr. Maze's ability to understand and address my concerns made this experience just a little more tolerable. Thank you Mr. Maze. Keep up the good work!

Mr Maze got my OWI charges dismissed completely 

I was charged with OWI 3rd, after reviewing tapes and reports Mr Maze filed numerous motions on my behalf, the charges were dismissed in both the local and county courts. He is the most honest and intelligent lawyer I have ever worked with. Cost for the case were exactly what he told me from the begining, Thank You Mr. Maze

 

 

Excellent Attorney 

I had an issue regarding a DUI. I conducted several inquiries into attorneys. After several consultations, I decided on Mr. Maze. He was extremely informative and very professional. He has an outstanding courtroom persona. As a result of obtaining Mr. Maze as my attorney, I was rendered with and extremely favorable judgement. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a DUI Lawyer.

 

 

Best DUI lawyer ever and knowledgable in other areas too 

William Maze represented me in a matter resulting from an infraction at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Due to his extensive review of the matter prior to our courtroom appearance, we were in and out of the courtroom with a VERY satisfactory verdict in less than 10 minutes. Since then I have recommended him to many of my friends and relatives for a wide range of reasons, when he feels he is the right man for the job, he will take them on as a client and if he feels another lawyer might serve them better, he will recommend one. But always, my friends have found themselves well represented, either by Mr Maze, his team or another lawyer he recommended to them.

 

 

 

I received a traffic ticket for "distracted driving" when an officer pulled me over for suspicion of drunk driving. Although I only sought information regarding this simple ticket, Mr. Maze demonstrated great professionalism and concern for my situation. He checked some facts and delivered the results to me very quickly so that I could best proceed.

 

 

Highly recommend! 

I was very impressed with Mr. Maze and his staff. They were supportive and informative, patiently answering all of my questions. They also clearly explained all of my options to empower me to make the best choices for my situation. From the person answering the phones to the office managers to the assistants, Mr. Maze's staff is kind, respectful, and ready to help. Mr. Maze is easy to get a hold of, but in the few occasions in which he was unavailable, he always returned my call the same day. He followed through on every aspect of my case in the time frame he reported to me. I was relieved to have someone as knowledagble and professional as him working with me.

 

 

 

AMAZING 

Mr. Maze did a very thorough job with my case. He gathered all the facts and was on target with everything he did to help me. He went out of his way assure me my case would win and he did a great job getting me through it.

I would strongly recommend Mr. Maze to anyone in need of a DUI lawyer!
