About Tipon Law Firm background image

I am writing a review for Noel Tipon, who was the attorney I selected to represent me during my court martial. 

 
Being in the Army for over 13 years, I knew from the get-go that in order to receive my fair shake,  I had to hire a civilian attorney to represent me; not because Trial Defense Service’s attorneys are not good, but because they are extremely understaffed, overworked, and are not as supplied as the prosecution office. As stated, it would have been non-sequitur to have only utilized military representation. For background, my process lasted roughly 13 months, and Noel Tipon was with me every step, explaining anything and everything I needed him to, in an easy-to-understand way. When I was looking for an attorney, I definitely did my due diligence as attorney fees are not cheap, especially for the charges I was being accused of. After calling roughly 15 different law firms, Noel Tipon’s name had been mentioned a few times, so I gave him a ring. From the beginning, he didn’t blow smoke up my you know what, but what he did was tell me directly the left and right limits of what could happen, explaining the good and bad of my case, etc. It was direct, but not in a bad way; I had some attorneys say that they could get me off and get the case dismissed,  but I wanted realistic expectations,  not someone just wanting a paycheck. Noel Tipon even mentioned to me that I should not retain him until charges and everything have been brought forward, but that was the only time I didn’t listen to his instructions, as I decided to retain him due to his qualifications, how he presented himself, and how he didn’t seem like the typical “money hungry” attorney everyone fears. During the actual trial, members in the gallery described Noel as Johnnie Cochran; his tenacity in the courtroom throughout the entire trial was nothing less than spectacular and thorough. The prosecutor, in my case, had two additional assisting attorneys, and Noel consistently outshined all three of them in every aspect. While I can not say whether or not he can get you the verdict you want, all I know is what occured in my case, which was a verdict of “not guilty” on all charges. In all, my best choice was to retain Noel. If you decide to retain Noel, I would highly recommend to never lying or hiding anything surrounding your case, and to be completely open and honest with him; that is your best shot at having the most positive outcome for your situation. Based on the charges, I can honestly say he not only saved my career, but literally the rest of my life, so I’ll always be thankful for him and can rest assured that I 100% made the right choice on an attorney and that you will as well.

Mr. Tipon saved my life. 

Mr. Tipon saved my life. I was getting out of the military due to my father having cancer. I was on my way to pick up my DD214 the day that NCIS pulled me in for an interview. I was being accused of sexual assault. At first I lied to NCIS then I told NCIS the truth due to me being scared like any young Marine would be because of the circumstances in 2020. I got put on legal hold and was not allowed to go home to be with my family. I hired Mr. Tipon immediately after my interview. I was being charged with sexual assault and a false official statement. He hit the ground running and he did not stop to prove my innocence. Two years of litigation we finally got our day in court. He proved all of the accusers lies, that NCIS investigation was not a full investigation and he also explained why I lied at first to NCIS. Mr. Tipon did a tremendous job. After all was said and done the members came back with a full Acquittal!! and after being around for two extra years I found out my father is a fighter and I can continue on with my military career. I can not thank Mr. Tipon enough

Mr. Tipon’s fee’s are expensive, yes. But he is worth every penny to prove your innocence. He really did save my life. Because of him I wasn’t going to go the brig for something that I didn’t do. If you want somebody to fight for you like you’re his own family, Mr. Tipon is that man. He is a Miracle worker.

Noel Tipon is the attorney you want when the stakes are high

Noel Tipon’s dedication to helping me overcome my case was evident from the first time we spoke on the phone. Even though I had called several lawyers that day about my case, Mr. Tipon was the most experienced in military law and, quite frankly, the most confident that he could win. Noel was professional throughout the entire case, and he always arrived at court appearances on time and well-prepared to dominate the courtroom. 

Outside of the courtroom, Noel is a very easy-going and forthcoming guy to talk to, which can be a very welcoming trait when you are feeling the stress of Court Martial. Noel successfully had all the charges in my case dropped, which was amazing. However, if things hadn’t played out well in court, he had a litany of alternate courses of action already prepared. 

Hiring Noel wasn’t cheap, but it was an investment that I am incredibly happy I made. Looking passed the professional expertise and experience in the practice of law, he seemed to be a good dude who cares about his work and the well-being of his clients. I would highly recommend Noel Tipon to anyone facing serious charges that could adversely impact the rest of their life.

We won!

Noel Tipon was wonderful to work with. Mr. Tipon specifically is passionate about his job and does everything in his power to get a successful outcome in your case. He and all his staff that worked on preparing my case, the case materials used, and the hospitality shown to me at their office is superb. With them, you really feel in good hands and you can sense the professionalism and quality you’re dealing with. I was very pleased with Mr. Tipon and all the preparations he and his staff made to prepare for my case. Mr. Tipon made me feel calm in regard to my case but he doesn’t sugarcoat anything and tells it how it is. Even though hiring Mr. Tipon was expensive, I definitely got what I paid for. I was retained in the military and will be allowed to retire as planned. It definitely was worth spending the money for a quality, highly professional attorney. I’m so grateful to Mr. Tipon and his staff, and I highly recommend them!

At first, I wasn’t sure about paying the price for the investigation process, but soon after he typed up a memorandum that was overly complex to my Commander they had no choice but to drop the investigation in full. He included all of the Army Regulations, previous trials, the Articles of UCMJ, and so much more. He and his team are extremely professional. The investigation only took 1 month once I hired Noel.

Saved my life

I’m a military service member who was falsely accused of sexual assault by the military. NCIS investigated the case and I thought they were actually looking for the truth and seeking justice, but I quickly found out that wasn’t true. They twisted my words around and did everything they could to show that I was guilty and never looked into evidence that showed I was not. I hired Mr. Tipon after I was charged and he was hell bent on showing my innocence. He worked tirelessly to uncover evidence that the detectives were too lazy to look for or didn’t care about. During trial, he was relentless and dominated the courtroom. In the end, the jury saw through the government’s case and I was found not guilty. If it wasn’t for Mr. Tipon, I would probably be in jail for years and have lost everything. While there were times it was difficult to reach Mr. Tipon, after the trial I completely understood. While we were in court, his full attention was on my case and it showed.

You saved my life!

Charges Dropped Allowed me to Have a Long and Prosperous Career.

Noel Tipon is and always has been a fantastic lawyer, whether he was still on active duty and now that he is in private practice. He has always been there to make sure the system never took advantage of me whether it was the military or the civilian judicial systems. Noel was there when my command tried to charge me with charges that didn’t even apply to me. Had I not spoken with Noel, I would have been a good little Marine and accepted the NJP because what other options do you have? Noel told me to trust him and he would fight it for me. And that is what he did. He had the command drop all charges against me. This led to me having a pretty long and prosperous Marine Corps career. Next was my inevitable divorce and custody hearings. Noel ensured I wasn’t over paying and had a much better custody agreement than most military men get. I couldn’t have asked for more than he got me. There are more stories how he has been there for me when I needed it. He’s the first person I call when I need legal advice and then I listen to the lawyer I have to hire for my issue. If you’re looking for someone that will stick up for you and will win for you, then Noel Tipon is your man.

Military Retirement Saved, Children in my Custody, Court Martial Charges Dismissed, No Basis and Retained at BOI

I met Noel 15 months ago while going through a toxic divorce which led to character-damaging allegations of the highest nature that impacted my family, children, and professional career. I was immediately removed from my home, stripped of my two children, ordered to pay 7k per month to my spouse, and had many liberties restricted at work based on allegations. It was horrible. 

He’s a genuine man that cares and emotionally invests in each case. He argued a temporary restraining order, and it was dismissed with prejudice, which then set up findings against my spouse, who was abusing the system. That next trial was won as well. After all of that was done I had full/sole custody of my 2 children, was back in my home, paying no alimony, receiving child support, and able to make all decisions concerning my family. That should be the end of the story, but it’s not. My spouse kept pushing allegations at work. I was cleared by family advocacy, child protective services, and the state of Hawaii two times, and every account was the same. These are lies being stated by my spouse. 

What happens next, I am officially charged with a smaller slice of allegations that were dismissed. I am unjustly pushed out of my place of employment and recommended to go to an article 32, then most likely a court martial. Noel wins there as well, and the FO states to withdraw all charges. Which they do. Should be done. Nope. Board of Inquiry, the lower burden on the govt to end my career. Noel, fights alongside me there-best outcome is no basis, everything dismissed. Dragged through the mud for 15 months, Noel was there every step. This was a horrible situation and I don’t wish it on anybody, but I am blessed to have met Noel and made a brother along the way. 

Normally I don’t just drop contact info but it’s the least I can do, I’m indebted. Feel free to contact me via email if you have any questions or to confirm the authenticity of this review.
