Tim Bilecki:
23 Years of Military Defense
The problem
The system is built to make you plead.
One allegation can become multiple charges. Now you could be facing decades behind bars, and everyone tells you to take the deal.
- Your freedom.
- Your career.
- Your retirement.
Everything you’ve spent years building is on the line.
They want you to stand down. Stand up and fight.
How we defend
We go get
the truth.
We read every page of their file. Then we get on a plane, go where it happened, and find what they left out.
Camp Humphreys, Korea · January 2026
- The charge
- Two Soldiers accused an Army Sergeant First Class of sexual touching on nights out in Korea. He was charged with abusive sexual contact and assault, and flagged for more than a year.
- What we did
- Flew to Korea multiple times. Went to the bars. Worked the scene. Talked to the witnesses. Then Tim showed the jury what CID missed: key witnesses they never interviewed and camera footage they never collected.
- The outcome
-
Full Acquittal.
Not guilty of all charges and specifications after a weeklong trial at Camp Humphreys, Korea.

You reach us directly.
Every client gets a secure group chat with Tim and Ben. You ask the lawyers on your case, and they answer.
Straight answers
Beforeyou call.
I already have a free military lawyer. Why hire you?
Keep them. Your military defense counsel stays on the case at no cost, and we lead the defense. You get three decisions in a court martial: how to plead, judge or panel, and who defends you. This is the one you can make today.
Will hiring a civilian lawyer make me look guilty?
Tim’s answer: “I’d rather look guilty than be found guilty.” The people investigating you already have a theory. Counsel is how you answer it.
Will my command find out I called?
No. Everything you tell us is confidential, whether or not we take your case. Your command and the prosecutors hear from us only if you hire us and we file a notice of representation.
What does it cost?
A flat fee, set by Tim after he hears your case. You know the number before you commit to anything, and travel is billed separately. If you cannot pay it all at once, say so. You can also apply to finance the fee through our payment provider, subject to the lender's approval, or Tim can set the timing of payments with you. Fees and Financing
Other lawyers quoted me less. Why pay more?
You may find a lower quote. Here is what ours buys. We take fewer cases at a time, so yours gets the hours. Tim and Ben both work it, from the first day to the last. Once you are charged, the fee covers the trial, so it does not go up because you chose to fight. When you compare, ask every lawyer what it costs through verdict.
My trial is close. Is it too late?
Probably not. Tim has been hired days before trial. Earlier gives us more to work with, so call today.
I’m a parent or spouse. Can I make the call?
Yes. Many first calls come from a parent or a spouse. We will tell you what your service member is facing and what a defense involves. Before we take the case, we speak with them directly.
Tell us what is happening. We will tell you whether we can help.
