Edward Eugene Kopko

This lawyer makes a great show of claiming to be reviled by other attorneys. This is due to his supposed record of winning malpractice cases against his peers, M.D.s, etc. My wife, who is disabled, engaged Kopko for a possible suit against the corporation which had employed and partially denied her... benefits. He took her money, and then instructed her to do HIS legal research into similar cases, ostensibly to save her additional legal fees. Of course, she could not do perform this task, as she was not trained in law. Kopko kept the money, never checked in with us, and the filing deadline for the complaint came and went.

This lawyer must be the reason that lawyers get a bad name. As he took my retainer, he assured me he was going to remedy my legal situation. I now equate this to "stealing" my retainer because he had ME do critical legwork for the case, missed deadlines, did not keep numerous appointments ( I drove... over an hour to get to his office) avoided my phone calls, then after several months he sent a bill and said let's call it even and go our separate ways. He did no work after he took my retainer. Meanwhile, he missed the deadline for me to file. Stay away from this one, unless you want to get screwed.
