Tim Bilecki – Courtroom Victory with Joshua Tolin
Joshua Tolin was selected to join the team led by Mr. Tim Bilecki to represent a combat-tested Non-commissioned officer client facing general court-martial to serve as Individual Military Defense Counsel (IMDC or IMC). Under Article 31, UCMJ, service members are not only entitled to the (usually fairly inexperienced) military counsel detailed to them, but they can choose an experienced military counsel if that person is reasonably available.
Facing multiple alleged victims, each with their own litigation risks, Mr. Bilecki and Mr. Tolin created a strategy to address certain issues at the Article 32, UCMJ, preliminary hearing. After one hearing at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, the military judge preliminary hearing officer recommended dismissal of the actually preferred allegations, and this NCO was able to get on with his life without the threat of criminal conviction or sex-offender registry hanging over him.
