Complete confidence

Mr. Bilecki represented me when I was falsely accused of SA. It was a long and stressful process that was eventually dropped by the accuser. No probable cause was found at article 32, and although higher AF still decided to go to court martial, it was ultimately dropped. I was a wreck for most of thi...s process, however, Mr. Bilecki always gave me a sense that it was all going to be ok. I completely trusted him to handle it and that sense of confidence is so crucial in that time of need. I highly recommend his services to anybody needing an attourney.

The absolute standard in representation

With my 22 year career hanging in the balance, Mr. Bilecki swiftly stepped in, eradicated the false allegations made against me and restored my good name. His reputation as being one of the best military defense lawyers in the world is recognized throughout every branch in the military. He and his te...am are top notch and the attention to detail in their preparation go above and beyond what is expected. Never once did I doubt his ability to prove my innocence.

Rockstar

I was going through the worse time of my life when I met Mr. Bilecki and Dave Hendrickson. I was faced with two specifications under the UCMJ. I was sad, depressed, angry, hurt and felt like I was in a mental prison. I was looking at the possibility of losing everything I worked for, and going to pri...son for years. But God directed me to Mr. Bilecki and Dave and they saved my life. The first time I met them, Mr Bilecki was energetic, confident and passionate while Dave was quiet. They talked to me like a true savior. They treated me like a person, not a business. And that was very important to me. Right there I knew I was in the right hands and everything was going to be ok. Mr Bilecki was very honest to me. He said, “this is not going to be easy, and I cannot assure you anything, but all I need you to do is give me your 100% and I will do my best to get you out of this, so you can get back to work and take care of your family.” And that was also very important to me. I needed honesty because I was scared to death not knowing what to expect. He also said I want you to let me do all the thinking not you; just take care of yourself. Even though it was almost impossible to not think or worry, but i tried because they show me that they were there for me till the end. Financially they were very flexible. They worked with me on that. Like I said, they treated me like a person not a business. Then fast forward to the week of trial. Dave, who had been my immediate lawyer arrived in Yokosuka few days before trial with the winning team. It was the toughest week of my life. But Rockstar Dave, who was quiet at first, became a beast. He was just so great beyond imagination. He was passionate, aggressive, smart, confident etc. Honestly, he did so great that I was ready to accept any results, because I knew he give his 110%. I also knew God was in control. And that’s the kind of lawyer you one. As a result I was awarded a NOT GUILTY verdict. I cried on Dave. I hugged him like my dad and I didn’t want to let him go. And i was finally free from that nightmare that fellow me for a year three months. Thanks to the rest of the team. They were excellent. I strongly recommend these guys. They are the best of the best. Please don’t go to court martial with just any lawyer. It doesn’t matter how innocent you are, once your name is involved, they are not playing, they are coming to get you. And they are coming with everything. Because what I saw in the court room was definitely a war. If you are thinking about the money that’s why you don’t want to call these guys, you are making a huge... mistake. If it wasn’t for God and Bilecki & Tipon, LLC, I strongly believe I be in prison by now. No disrespect to my military detailed lawyer. He was very helpful, but this is just the honest truth. Please call Bilecki & Tipon before it is too late. I strongly recommend their service.

He and his legal team saved my life

I was a marriedI was falsely accused of sexual assault months after having a consenual encounter with another servicemember. My command thought I was guilty from the beginning. When I received that charge sheet that was two pages long, I thought my life was over. I had an exmplary career and never... been in trouble in my life. I was referred to Mr. Bilecki and I was easily the best decision I ever made in my life. Right from the first phone call he knew I was innocent and he said he was ready to fight. When I went to my first legal appointment and the defense office asked who my civilian lawyer was I said Tim Bilecki, and they immediately knew that I would be ok. He and my military counsel went over the evidence and knew from the start that I was falsely accused. The biggest mistake that I made was making a statement to NCIS without a lawyer present. If you are reading this "DON"T EVER MAKE A STATEMENT TO NCIS OR ANYONE ELSE WITHOUT A LAWYER PRESENT. THEY AND YOUR COMMAND THINK YOU ARE GUILTY AND THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY!!!! At the hearing the alleged victim didn't even show up and I think it was because she knew she was going to get destroyed by my legal team. She previously made a false accusation before and the Mr. Bilecki and my military counsel was not afraid to expose this liar. The best part of the hearing was when Mr. Bilecki went to the prosecution and said he's the Gordon Ramsey of lawyering. I think the prosecution knew that their case was lost. If it wasn't for Mr. Belicki and my military defense team, I wouldn't be writing this letter. I am home with my family and have a wonderful job and it's all thanks to them. It does make me sad that the alleged victim gets to stay in the military after multiple false allegations but I'm happy I'm not in prison. I'm forever grateful to Mr. Bilecki, Mr. Easterbrooks, Ms. Clayton, and Mr. Castro for everything. Continue to defend the ones that defend this nation.

Fiat justitia ruat caelum ...Let justice be done though the heavens fall

I am a Chief Warrant Officer in the Marine Corps and stationed on Okinawa. The path I took to Bilecki and Tipon was shattering and terrifying. I was charged with article 80 (Attempts) including four specifications of Art 120 (Sexual Assault) including children, one article 133 (Conduct Unbecoming a...n Officer). I cannot describe the feelings I had when I realized there were over 100 cases very similar to mine that had been adjudicated as guilty by plea. I felt hopeless, completely lost and without allies to help me through the process. I was part of the Okinawa NCIS “To Catch a Predator” sting operation. NCIS enticed me to meet a woman after extensive online chats and posts. When I arrived at her residence she told me she was under the age of consent. The system of military justice created a culture causing these cases to be concrete, locks for the prosecution. My first meeting with Mr. Bilecki was exactly what I had hoped for. He was exceptionally well versed in the legal process, dynamic in his approaches and thorough in his preparation. I can shower praise on every aspect of his handling of my case but the biggest thing for me is that he is a BULLDOG; relentless. Tim’s courtroom dominance was astounding. He controlled the jury panel’s emotions and turned them from hating me to hating NCIS. He had a minute by minute strategy with every word deliberately placed for maximum effect. If you are in a situation where you feel hopeless, everyone is telling you to fold and you can’t see a way out; look to Tim Bilecki. Although my heavens were falling B&T was able to find the right angles to ensure justice was served. Thank you Tim for giving me my life back. **Quote of the trial “Special agent, have you ever heard the expression: integrity is either a character trait or a character flaw? Which one is if for you, Special Agent?” Tim Bilecki during cross examination.
