About Attorney William Maze

My name is William Maze, and I have been in practice for nearly 20 years. I have handled more contested drunk driving cases in Michigan than any other attorney. I take great pride in the fact that I do not routinely plea people out to "operating while visibly impaired" (OWVI), and I stubbornly refuse to accept "no-deals / no-reduction" policies enacted by some prosecutors. I regularly take cases to jury trial, even if the odds are against me. Miraculously, I have won countless unwinnable cases.
