Tim Bilecki the Ringmaster, exposer of snake liars&charlatans

1st you are or want to get married start saving money to hire Tim Bilecki as you never know. If you need someone to defend you, Tim Bilecki is worth his weight in gold&then some! Divorce can get nasty&society now works that even a crazy false/weak allegation from any woman will turn your life upside ...down or ruin it especially in the military. You will be negatively flagged&kiss any promotion, awards&re-enlistment goodbye! The military backed by the full force of U.S. Government has unlimited funds&You'll be marked guilty until proven innocent&even your leadership will ostracize you! 2nd NEVER talk to anyone without talking to an attorney FIRST. It's a hard lesson I learned! Law enforcement, CID, NCIS, etc. are allowed to lie to you&say what you want to hear to get you to make statements&Everything you say will be twisted&used against you! Thank God Mr. Tim Bilecki saw through the lies. of the alleged victim&her flip mafia best friends "witnesses" &exposed their lies! Mr. Tim Bilecki, his associate Mr. Ben Gold&my military TDS attorney Captain Brian Tracy are the very best at what they do-Military Law. They honestly care&worked their butts off all day into late nights slept at office&even skipped meals on my case to develop strategies, evidence, cross-examinations&so on! My case was complex&prosecution painted me as a monster&used every dirty trick on the book, the alleged victim flat out lied&many of her witnesses completely perjured themselves throughout the trial under oath! But with Ben Gold's hard research, Brian Tracy's technical knowledge of the law& Tim Bilecki's amazing communication skills was able to separate truth from the lies. Tim is the Ringmaster of the trial&was able to convince the Jury! Tim Bilecki's masterful opening which at least lasted an hour set the foundation for the jury to consider the possibility that the alleged victim was a liar. Tim exposed her con of pretending to be a small scared victim to jury seeing the real lying, manipulating, stone cold hearted woman that she is in real time! Tim the Shredder cross-examined the dog poop out of the alleged victim&her paramour for hours! Tim exposed the inconsistent lies&pointed out evidence against her story&alleged victim's witnesses all full of lies trying to cover up for alleged victim also got shredded by Tim&perjured themselves! Tim's superb closing argument lasted over 1 1/2 hour&he 1st made dang sure the jury completely understood their job: That the accused is 100% innocent until proven guilty by the U.S. Govt& that the jury understood exactly the meaning of allegations&other definitions of things like "beyond reasonable doubt" &other special legal instructions. Tim was the Ringmaster on closing arguments. He laid out facts, told the real story as he had been there himself with passionate argument, confidence&charisma! Tim made the jury fully embrace that in fact I was innocent until proven guilty&the very high burden was on the U.S. Govt until otherwise&was not our job to prove my innocence or why she lied! Tim exposed the alleged victim&her witnesses lies&called them out in court as complete liars, charlatans&nothing but theater! Prosecution tried to twist everything&get to the jury with an emotional argument&completely ignoring facts! Tim plowed thru all the lies &jury saw the truth! It was an incredibly scary situation being court-martialed&it will make you feel like crap but honestly you gotta put your full faith on Tim Bilecki &follow his advice 110% Most important of all bite the bullet&hire Mr. Tim Bilecki the sooner the better it's an investment that will repay itself many times! Trust me Tim knows his Craft of Law way more than you ever will& Tim will do the best humanly possible to get you the best possible outcome! after 2 years of investigation, 4 long days of trial& 4 hours of deliberation the jury Thankfully concluded in my case: Not guilty of all charges&specifications! All thanks to Tim Bilecki, Ben Gold&Capt Brian Tracey

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.

Tim Bilecki: The Messiah of military defense counsels

Facing a court martial or adverse action? Well, READ THIS!!!!!!!!! I must first start by saying, I rarely ever write reviews on anything. This time around I felt compelled to write a review in effort help my fellow Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, Coast Guard and DOD civilian comrades. Here ...is my story…….As a Sergeant First Class, while deployed to Afghanistan, one female Soldier made an allegation that I had touched her inappropriately. As a result CID was called in and conducted a “so called” investigation into the allegation. CID’s investigation entailed taking the statement of my accuser and conducting a canvas interview that was essentially a dragnet to solicit any information to solidify the claim of my accuser. The dragnet produced four additional female Soldiers that made allegations that I was inappropriate with them. At no time during the investigation an attempt was made to determine the truthfulness of the allegations made against me; only efforts to bolster the allegations of my accusers. At this point, I was understandably distressed and frustrated over the allegations. According to CID, there were three allegations of abusive sexual contact and two allegations of assault impending against me. Simultaneously, the chain of command ordered and conducted a 15-6 investigation into the same matters of the CID’s investigation. Yes!! On one end, I was being investigated by CID for an alleged criminal offenses and on the other end, investigated for the same matter via a 15-6 investigation. The 15-6 was concluded first, the IO determined allegations of abusive sexual contact was unfounded; but, concluded that I created a hostile work environment. I received a GOMR for the findings of the 15-6 while I was awaiting trial. Despite two comprehensive appeals to the CG, relating the results of 15-6 did not meet the preponderance of evidence standard and preempted my impending court-martial depriving me of due process. After six months of anguish and distress, CID finally concluded their investigation; subsequently, my chain of command referred charges against me; three specifications of abusive sexual contact consummated by battery (violation of Article 128). After 19 years of service as a senior non-commissioned officer I was repulsed by the command’s decision to refer charges against me for these unfounded allegations. Immediately, I contacted TDS and met with a military defense lawyer, they instantly informed me that the government was deliberately “stacking the deck against me,” in effort to dishonorably discharge me out of the military; despite having 19 years of honorable service. A conviction for the charges would entail forfeiture of my retirement, SGLI Bill, all VA benefits. I would also be required to register as a sex offender, serve jail time and face the prospect of never getting a decent job due to a felony conviction. Needless to say, I could not fathom this scenario. After two weeks of consulting with my TDS appointed attorney and sensing a slight disinterest to doggedly fight the charges against me. I decided I would look into hiring a civilian attorney; unknown to me at the time this should not have been a consideration, it should have been an absolute requirement…….So, you may ask, why hire a civilian attorney? HERE”S WHAT I REALIZED FOLLOWING MY SIX MONTH ORDEAL: After all, if the government is trying to take away your freedom or your livelihood, the stakes are very, very, very high. I cannot stress this enough, with so much on the line, you must get the best legal defense you can get. Through my ordeal, I realized, my military defense lawyer was truly adversarial against the prosecutor and the charges I was facing. However, depending on the severity of the charges your appointed military lawyer may be required to do the unthinkable by challenge/subpoena the CG as well as other general officers to prove your innocence, as well

It looks like your review got cut off, but I really appreciate and am humbled by your words. This was a case that should never have gone to trial but for the military's war on sexual assault - or in your case - a witch hunt. CID was hell bent on getting a conviction as opposed to finding the truth. I'm glad that we (with the extraordinary help of Nathan Moores at Kiamalu Investigations) were able to show the jury the true facts and get you acquitted. That Not Guilty verdict was was proof positive that even when the odds are against you, you can win. Keep in touch, you are part of the B&T family.
