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.

Best defense in the Pacific

After I was falsely accused of Sexual Assault I retained the services of Mr. Tim Bilecki. Three months into the investigation, I had meticulously searched for the right representation with the experience and expertise needed to successfully defend me in the complex system of the military justice syst...em. Initially, I retained a few very high profile and highly regarded civilian defense attorneys; however, in the back of my mind, I knew that the complexities and details of the military justice system requires someone who has an immense understanding of the system and someone who had a reputation of being successful within the system. Tim and his Partner Noel both are prior military JAG officers, they came highly recommended. I went to their website www.bileckilawgroup.com viewed their video and examined their client testimonials. I was convinced; that I need to set up a consultation with Mr. Bilecki. From the time I met Tim, I knew he had the acumen, intelligence, experience, and confidence I was looking for. Tim Bilecki went through a meticulous process of finding the facts and researching my case, we hired the right experts. By the time I walked out of his office, I was convinced if need be, we would be able to put up a defense that would expose weaknesses and punch holes in the prosecutions case. From day one Tim and his team were always available, no matter where he was in the world at the time. His teams made me feel like a family member whom they wanted to protect. Tim, went right to work on my case and after four weeks he convinced the prosecution the accusation brought against me were completely false. It was Tim reputation of being a hard charging defense attorney who has won many cases of this specific nature, which convinced the prosecution that if they were going to win this case, they would have to have a rock solid case of which they knew they did not have. If you want the best and your freedom, liberty, and name are on the line Mr. Bilecki is the attorney you need. I would take Tim and his team as my defense in a military and civilian proceeding over any attorney in the pacific. I believe winning in your defense is more than just business for Tim it personal. I am a free man and forever grateful.

Most effective Attorney you will ever know

Mr. Bilecki took my case on a very short notice. When I called the office he was away in Germany just finishing a case. I felt I had no one to help me with my unfortunate situation. From the time I retained his services to a personal consultation it was less then 72 hours. I was really impressed tha...t he was genually interested in working on my case as fast as possible, more so impressed that by the time he had arrived back in Hawaii he had reviewed my file on his flight over! I called 3 other attorneys and they all would take over 2 weeks to start working on my case. He knew the clock was ticking and made every effort possible to accommodate. His representation was exceptional and my situation was favorably resolved. Highly recommended!

Calm- in the midst of a storm!

A mother's worst nightmare is when she receives a phone call with bad news about her child. Needless to say, that phone call advised me that my son was awaiting sentencing - and only three days later. Time was no longer an ally and I had to act fast. Needless to say, my sister and I immediately jum...ped on the next flight to Incheon Korea. After arriving and checking in to our hotel room, the hard part began. It was now Saturday, and I still had to research and find the best lawyer an educator could afford. We barrier it fown go two lawyers and then researched their cases and outcomes. Both firms had an impeccable resume; we chose Belecki and Tipon: he was "reachable" on a Sunday afternoon; he believed my son had a hard, but winnable case; and he didn't overcharge us - yes, he had to begin working that same afternoon. Monday arrived although Attorney Belecki was not physically there, he instructed my son on how to stop the sentencing, made the necessary phone calls to the military justice court and filed the paperwork needed to secure another court date. I would love to say that my fears had come to an end; for I'd hired a well-known and respected attorney. But then I heard the charges and saw the evidence against my son: his weapon, 10 witnesses testifying against him (even the three friends he was with, 1 he was protecting), a forced, signed statement of guilt, a court appointed attorney and my son - a young soldier, barely a year out of high school. ........those 10 witnesses against him, became 10 pieces of evidence for him; the villain, became the hero; and the accused - NOT guilty! I give Attorney Tim Belecki of Belecki & Tipon 5 ⭐️. Although my faith knows GOD made it all possible, thanks for allowing Him to use you to saving my son's life.

Thank you so much for the review and kind words, it was a real pleasure representing your son and meeting your family. I'm really glad we were able to talk on that first Sunday afternoon when you called. We quickly prevented your son from pleading guilty to charges which we ultimately won with a lot of perspiration and even a little inspiration. Anytime you or your family are in Hawaii, please get in touch, you are part of the B&T family. Thank you again for entrusting your son's future to our firm.
