Turning Challenges into Opportunities for Victory

Our Strategy is Always Informed by the Mission

Much like warfare, if one does not have very defined military and political objectives, victory becomes elusive. One cannot develop the tactics to win if he or she cannot envision triumph. The strategy employed by the Bilecki Law Group centers around our mission, and our mission is to win. From the moment your investigation starts, the military justice system is setting into motion a series of events that will potentially destroy your career, sabotage your future, and perhaps even strip away your very freedom. These outcomes are not incidental to some bigger picture. They are the prosecution and the command’s objective. The military justice system is not in pursuit of justice, but order, and you are the one who pays the price for that order. You are their “example,” their “deterrence measure.”

Our mission is to stop them. We employ every tool and tactic at our disposal to accomplish that end result. This means that our strategy is to stop them at every opportunity and convey a message: that you are not an easy target. You are not their straw man, and if they need you, they will have to go through us. The command will often cite to lofty principles such as “good order and discipline,” but its method of obtaining these noble objectives are often anything but noble. Their ends will always justify their means. The United States Military may very well have the order and discipline it requires, but that will not come at the expense of our clients. We are situated in between the US Military Justice System and our clients, and we exist to win.

The War For Your Freedom Starts As Soon As We Are Retained

When does the fight for your career, retirement, or freedom begin? It starts the moment we are retained. The military justice system tries to utilize speed to ensure that you don’t have the time to properly defend yourself. That is why some of our earliest contacts are with the prosecution and the investigators. We want them to understand that they have a fight on their hands, and if they want an easy target, they better move on to the next guy because you are not it.

Simultaneously, we are seeking to rob the prosecution of the clock advantage. Unless there is a strategic advantage to going to court quickly, where more time can be litigated, we take it. We know what to do with that time. As we seek to understand your side of the story, we deploy our own investigation to pursue the truth that NCIS, CID, or OSI intentionally overlooked. It is common for the prosecution to assume any defense attorney will have only just familiarized themselves with the reports, witnesses, or scene of the alleged incident. What they soon find out is that Bilecki is not just any defense attorney.

Uncovering the Truth

A First-Hand Investigation They Were Not Expecting

Your average JAG defense counsel will have read the reports, looked at the pictures, and perhaps talked to a witness or two. Meanwhile, Bilecki will launch a first-hand investigation because our mission dictates we do so, and when NCIS, CID, or OSI agents take the stand, they are not expecting the defense to catch them in their overt deceit or, at best, their routine laziness.

We’ve visited the scene of the incident and whether that was a barracks room where an alleged sexual assault occurred or a street out in Jacksonville where a Marine was involved in a brawl, we show up. We leave no stone unturned, and we look for what we know, for a fact that the investigators intentionally missed or apathetically didn’t care to examine. They always miss something. Simply put, your defense cannot rely on the prosecution’s investigation to determine the facts.

Our mission is to win and that demands first-hand knowledge. That first-hand knowledge is what the investigators are not expecting, and it destroys their testimony upon cross examination. Mr. Bilecki’s early legal mentor and legendary Miami criminal trial lawyer, Joel Hirschhorn, said it best: “to win, you must focus on the quality of your representation, not the quantity of cases. You must investigate, organize, prepare, and present your case the old fashioned way: hard work, long hours, meticulous attention to even the smallest detail, a lot of perspiration, and a little inspiration.”

Pushing Forward Without Compromise

Our Mission Dictates We Fight At Every Turn

Show us a court martial defense attorney who routinely tells you to waive the Article 32 hearing, and we’ll show you an attorney whose mission is not to win. Your life is on the line. As such, we waive nothing. We give up no attempt to fight back and only in rare cases where a tactical advantage is gained do we waive the Article 32. We stand and we fight at every turn. That’s because the prosecution has come to believe the Article 32 is a mere formality. They are not prepared for Bilecki to show up ready to brawl, present evidence, call witnesses, and cross-examine the prosecution’s witnesses, i.e., accusers they will trot in with little to no preparation.

When this shock and awe approach hits the prosecution right in the mouth, they often fold when they realize just how much time and effort it’s going to take prosecute you. The preliminary hearing officer may recommend that the case not go to trial, or the government may drop all of the charges right there. This is not just a possibility, but a reality we frequently witness. Every court martial defense attorney who waived the Article 32 haphazardly has committed a dereliction of duty. It reflects a fear of failure, versus a drive to prevail.

Relentless in Pursuit

Unapologetic Cross-Examination Is The Path To Victory

Gunfights are notoriously unkind to the second place finisher. The grunts on the ground don’t have to apologize for gifting violence back to the enemy like it was scumbag Christmas. Similarly, court martials are notoriously unkind to the second place finisher, and as such, a defense attorney must be willing to shred the prosecution’s witnesses down to their last atom if need be…and do so unapologetically.

A free JAG defense attorney may hesitate when he or she sees the rank of a witness, or, given the military prosecutor’s ability to rise through the ranks, maybe your free JAG doesn’t want to make his or her future boss look bad. Mr. Bilecki’s time with the Army JAG Corps is long done and he will not hesitate to pull the trigger on any witness the prosecution puts forward with a devastating cross examination.

That’s because we know that the military justice system has been in pursuit of your conviction as opposed to justice. This means they almost always build a seemingly strong case on a flimsy foundation. Thorough, aggressive, and unapologetic cross-examination exposes that foundation and sends the whole case crashing down around it. The higher the rank on the witness, the greater the fall as far as Bilecki is concerned. Show us a JAG who doesn’t believe the same and we’ll show you a JAG who does not have the same objective. Our mission is to win and we apologize to no one along the way.

A winning Approach

Flipping The Credibility Script Is An Elite Tactic

Our military’s reserve forces have done some great things for this nation, but there is a reason our country didn’t send “weekend warriors” deep into Pakistan to kill Bin Laden. Elite missions require elite tactics performed by elite operators – people who know what they’re doing. So it is with flipping the credibility script on the prosecution at trial. Not everyone can pull this off, but the Bilecki Law Group isn’t your backwoods part-time lawyer looking to make a little extra cash on the weekends. We’re the “pipe hitters” of court martial defense.

The defendant in any court martial faces an instant credibility gap. The panel sees the prosecution as the arbiter of military discipline, the judge as the dispenser of justice, and the command that is prosecuting you as the shining city upon a hill. Meanwhile, you’re the dirtbag, blue falcon that is standing in the way. You’re the troublemaker.
While we are simultaneously shredding the prosecution’s case in front of the panel, we are building you up in the eyes of the panel. Yes, you may have made an error in judgement, but you also pulled two of your buddies from a burning AAV in Ramadi. The prosecution calls you evil, but it was you that shielded kids in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan when the Taliban indiscriminately attacked. Whatever it was, your service record and sacrifice should still mean something.

We’ll handle being the bad guy, because the prosecution’s unjust and flimsy case warrants such aggression. You, we’ll present you for who you are because we firmly believe that every client we represent is more than the sum of the charges against them. This is not an easy maneuver, and, when less experienced lawyers try to flip the credibility script, it ends about as well as it would tasking an ROTC unit with hostage rescue.

We fight at every turn

A Brutal Examination of the Facts At Hand

Legendary Marine General James “Chaos” Mattis famously said of leadership in warfare, “you cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dreamworld, it’s going to be bad.” The mission of the Bilecki Law Group is to win and, in that pursuit of our mission, we cannot ignore the brutal facts. That brutal truth is that the military justice system enjoys an extremely high conviction rate because they stack the deck against you from day one.

We cannot ignore the truth that military investigators have their own mission: to build your conviction. It is not about discovering the truth. That brutal fact compels us to conduct our own independent investigation. We cannot ignore the brutal fact that military prosecutors have an unlimited budget and never ending resources at their disposal. That brutal fact has shaped our specialty: asymmetrical warfare. We match their money and manpower with intelligence, efficiency, and a harder work ethic.

We cannot ignore the brutal truth that, if deceit is needed to secure your conviction, the prosecution will employ it as needed. That brutal truth compels us to cross examine witnesses with unapologetic hostility. The brutal truth is that it is a crapshoot whether your free JAG defense attorney will care more about your career than his or her own.

We operate with the understanding of these brutal truths. They can dominate your perimeter and give rise to hopelessness under the circumstances. The military is too big to pay you much heed, and if you throw yourself to its mercy, it will thank you for making its job easier, and roll over you without fanfare. There may not be too many people out there who can serve like you have, but there are several willing to try. The brutal truth is – at the end of the day – the military has deemed you replaceable.

In port, a flag flies from the jackstaff of every Naval ship. It has red and white stripes with a yellow snake, reading “Don’t tread on me.” Our objective is to set you apart in the eyes of the military justice system, to put them on notice – prosecuting you is a minefield. You are not something that can be simply “rolled over” without incurring a certain amount of harm.

Our methodology runs counter to everything you have come to understand about the military, where the objective is to fit in neatly, keep your head down, and due what you are told. The brutal truth is that you cannot coexist with a military justice system that is trying to destroy you. The truth is that you must fight back, and for that mission alone does the Bilecki Law Group exist.

Iwakuni here. Tim did a fantastic job defending me from being thrown out of the military for an email. If you're having any issues with a toxic command, he is who you should go to:)

After many, many months of a huge roadblock and stand still in my career I was fully acquitted of all charges, The decision I made to contact Tim Bilecki was the best decision I have made. These charges would have destroyed my career. Tim and Ben are an amazing hardworking team, every meeting leading up to my court date I was at ease knowing they were on my side and believed in me. At one point, I was physically and emotionally drained, when the final verdict came back AQUITTED, I am back on track and can finally prepare once again for a successful future. Thank you, Tim, and Ben, for everything. You have gone out of your way, and I knew from our first conversation you were the man (men) for the job. If anyone is reding this and are struggling to decide, please reach out to The Bilecki Law Group, you will not regret it.

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 military 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!

This is a long overdue review. Tim and Ben are just an outstanding team. Going through that process, I was stressed and faced with so much uncertainty. There was no sales pitch with Tim. He gave it to me straight and frankly expected the same. Seeing him work in the court room put me at ease. This by no means was a cake walk but if I had to do this again, I would choose Tim and his team every time. I got my life back thanks to his ability to leverage his experience and apply it in the court room. I have recommended this firm to service members and will continue to do so. Don't trust your chain of command, choose this law firm! They are the real deal!

Mr. Bilecki and Mr. Gold are by far the best legal team I have encountered in my entire career. My legal situation lasted almost one year and ended with the best case scenario; Full Acquittal! As with anyone going through a similar situation understands times can be extremely stressful. Tim and Ben continued to reassure me everything was going to be fine, and they were right 100%. Both Tim and Ben are very responsive to emails, text, and phone calls. Due to me being overseas and the time difference, they always made accommodations for a conference call that was convenient for me. When it came down to the actually trial, Mr. Bilecki was a superstar. He is was very strategic with his cross examinations and rebuttals. The truth was laid out for the court and justice prevailed. If you are going through a similar situation, I highly recommend you retain the services of Bilecki Law Group. You will not be disappointed.

I reached out to Bilecki Law Group initially for help putting together a GOMOR rebuttal. Tim and Ben immediately got to work putting everything together and helping to prepare for all possible outcomes. The rebuttal was very effective pointing out evidence that was entirely false, so effective in fact that it was removed and the initial GOMOR was taken away and later re-imposed with a new evidence packet. Ben Gold's writing and laying out of facts is second to none, clear, concise and very persuasive.
Fast forward a few months and unfortunately the GOMOR was still permanently filed (as is often the case in these situations). My Command initiated an involuntary separation and Board of Inquiry (BOI). Tim and Ben were still on board and anxious to aggressively litigate my case at the BOI. Keep in mind you are bringing on board a highly experienced team when you retain Bilecki Law Group. This is not an firm you simply pay to make your problems go away (I'm fairly certain those do not exist). You will have to be an integral part of this team if you want the best outcome for your case. Tim and Ben understand this and it can clearly be seen in their detailed preparations with you for your case. Through our prep. we mapped out my career and many contributions to the military and came up with a clear strategy to obtain our objectives for the board. The findings were exactly as we had planned and prepped for and Ben's GOMOR rebuttal was referenced as a key piece of factual evidence in the board's findings.
Unhappy with the BOI outcome my Command tried to re-litigate the same allegations, this time by using Flying Evaluation Board (FEB). Tim once again was fully prepared. The board had a favorable outcome and was an amazing win for our team. His detailed knowledge of the regulation and arguments at the board were paramount.
This is the best military legal team out there. Throughout the proceedings Tim clearly controlled the tempo and boardroom environment in every room he was in. He was always looked to by all parties as the expert in the room . Even more than the superb legal representation, Tim and Ben are easily approachable in normal conversation, these are guys I enjoy being around and am glad to call them friends. This is an easily overlooked key to developing a successful legal team. They were both reachable for any questions I had throughout the process (even with sometimes hectic schedules).
If you want to bring on board a team that will give you an honest assessment and aggressively pursue your case I would recommend reaching out for a consultation. The experience, professionalism and expertise of Bilecki Law Group cannot be overstated.

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 an 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.

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 system.
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.

43 minutes and the Jury comes back and says… Not guilty of all charges and specifications. That right there is the best statement I had ever heard and it's all to be thanked to this amazing law firm. Mr. Bilecki, My friend is right you are a STONE COLD KILLER! There is no way in hell I would be here right now if it weren't for you and your talent in owning the courtroom. Watching you from the opening statement to cross examination of the Dirty MPs and witnesses to then putting the prosecutors in their place by giving an unbelievable closing argument that one would only imagine seeing in a movie. Also huge shoutout to Mr. Gold, one of the best writers that I have ever met. Your way of writing motions in such a short time period and making them seem like you took days writing but in reality you just take a few hours at most all you need is quiet room and boom you got a winning motion.I was fully acquitted of all charges, one being a sexual assault charge that would’ve destroyed my career and definitely put HUGE road blocks ahead of me for the rest of my life. My General Court Martial ended on August 6th 2023 and today is September 28th 2023, today I had my Reenlistment ceremony and I have been accepted to continue to serve in the United States Marine Corps. I wanted to write this review the same day I was acquitted but I wanted to wait and show everyone who reads this what a great law firm that is willing to give 110% to you can do for you. For a little over a year and a half we were at war with the UCMJ Machine and now today I was able to raise my right hand and give another 4 years to my Country and I am finally on standby to be promoted to Sgt. If you are under investigation and your career and life are at risk DO NOT hesitate to get in contact with this Law Firm. It is worth every penny. From my family and I thank you to this amazing Law Firm, Mr. Bilecki, Mr. Gold, our forensic expert, my two appointed military attorneys, and our Marine LCpl Paralegal. This “Stone Cold Client” will never forget everything this Law Firm has done for him. Thank you.
