Tim Bilecki and Ben Gold are the best military attorneys in the market

If you are reading this review, you are likely in serious legal trouble in the military. I am here to tell you that time is not on your side. If you are searching for the best possible attorney to help you in your current situation. Look no further because Tim Bilecki and Ben Gold are the best milita...ry attorneys in the market. The best decision I ever made, and we won my case, but either way, from start to finish, I never felt like they took me, my case, or my money for granted. If you are in the military facing the weight of the U.S. Government trying to convict you, do not hesitate to hire this team because you will regret it. Adverse actions while in the military will affect your ability to find work outside of the uniform. There is a good chance you will lose much more regarding your freedom, dignity, military career, and potentially your civilian life outside the military. The consequences can be devastating if you are convicted on a court martial or in a Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP). I have served in the military for almost two decades, and I am here to tell you that the military justice system holds no punches. The government does not care about your career, deployments, or family. They want to get a conviction at all costs, regardless of the truth. I am very thankful to Tim and Ben, a group of professionals who fought a good fight…there is no doubt that without their knowledge of the military court system and the law, I would not be here today. I cannot say enough about this team. They have excellent and timely customer service, positive attitudes, excellent communicators, and the ultimate professionals in person and across their digital platforms. If you are looking for a winning team focused on quality, not quantity – this is your team. The hardest part about finding a lawyer is finding a good lawyer. Tim and Ben bring so much more than I have ever imagined. If you want the best representation, then hire this team today!

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

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.
