Our law firm defends service members worldwide, including South Korea, Japan, Okinawa and Hawaii. If you’re looking to fight military charges, then you’ve come to the right place.

Before that, he served as Senior Defense Counsel for the Army Trial Defense Service, Pacific Rim. That experience matters when your case turns on the command climate, the evidence on the ground, and what it takes to defend you thousands of miles from home. Our firm is based in Tampa. Tim and Ben travel for trials and boards, and we use remote hearings where appropriate and permitted.
So whether you’re fighting a sexual assault accusation in South Korea, military assault charges in Japan, or a court-martial in Hawaii, you’ll find a powerful ally in Bilecki Law Group, PLLC.
Japan and Okinawa Court Martial Lawyers
Senior military leaders in Okinawa and Mainland Japan are at the forefront of Washington’s zero-tolerance approach to crime and military violations. Now more than ever, most allegations of misconduct are resulting in court-martial charges or administrative separation boards. This is particularly prevalent in cases involving sexual assault, BAH/OHA fraud, and drug and “Spice” cases, which accounts for the lion’s share of court-martial trials in the area.
Attorney Tim Bilecki has spent a great deal of time in Japan, learning the nuances and challenges of defending service members both on the mainland and Okinawa. His understanding of the culture, politics and local issues are second to none, allowing him to win tough cases that may be influenced by the unique command climate there.
Whether you have been charged with Sexual Assault, BAH/OHA fraud, “Spice” use or distribution, or have a case involving Violent Crimes, Desertion & AWOL, Sex Crimes, High Profile Cases, Larceny & Financial Fraud, the court-martial lawyers at Bilecki Law Group, PLLC can provide you with the type of heavy-hitting, aggressive representation that you need to level the playing field.
South Korea Court Martial Lawyers
They say that the best way to leave South Korea as a Specialist is to get there as a Sergeant. That may be true. Worse yet, Korea is a place where countless Soldiers have their careers destroyed by false allegations and sexual assault charges. No other location in the world has the same military justice issues as South Korea.
Mr. Bilecki previously served as the Senior Defense Counsel for the U.S. Army Trial Defense Service, Pacific Rim for two years, where he supervised all military defense legal services for Korea, as well as mainland Japan and Okinawa. This has afforded him a vast knowledge of unique issues that service members face while stationed in Korea, as well as the politics and command climate in the region.
For service members that are struggling with charges made against them by the U.S. Military in South Korea, it’s imperative that they contact Bilecki Law Group, PLLC as soon as possible. We bring years of experience defending service members in Korea to the fight for your freedom.
Court Martial Defense in Hawaii
Bilecki Law Group, PLLC defends service members facing serious military charges in Hawaii. Our Tampa office does not change that commitment.
We represent service members stationed at Schofield Barracks, Fort Shafter, Pearl Harbor, Kaneohe Bay, Hickam Air Force Base and other military installations on-island. Our experience defending cases in Hawaii gives us insight into the command environment and the issues that can shape your defense.
Defending a case in Hawaii takes more than phone calls from the mainland. We interview and prepare witnesses, investigate the facts, and travel when the case requires us to be there. When the court date arrives, the Bilecki Law Group, PLLC is prepared with the witnesses and evidence the case requires, and with independent investigators or technical experts when their work is needed. We’re relentless when it comes to understanding your side of the story and the facts that back it up.
West Coast Court Martial Lawyers
If you’ve been accused of a crime in the state of California, you may not feel like you’re living in the Golden State. Being accused of a crime and having to face military courts-martial is something few people can walk away from unscathed. Unless that is, they’re being represented by the most aggressive and knowledgeable court martial lawyers that money can buy.
Bilecki Law Group, PLLC was founded on the premise that when a person is serving his or her country and he or she is accused of a crime, that person should have the strongest, most knowledgeable legal defense possible. As prior service members themselves, Mr. Bilecki understands the military criminal justice system inside and out.
He has spent time inside and outside the system, and are never intimidated by military prosecutors, the command, or the system that was designed to put you in prison.
Both California and Washington are states with numerous military bases and installations, and as such, the military population in this area is quite high. Given the amount of military stationed in California and Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, it’s no surprise that a fairly high percentage of the court-martial cases in the United States come out of this region. We defend service members facing serious UCMJ charges on the West Coast, bringing the same trial preparation and commitment we bring to our cases worldwide.
