Highly Recommend
Mr. Kopka was extremely knowledgeable and very experienced. He was able to walk me through the process, advising me from start to finish, and lobbied on my behalf, when necessary. I was extremely satisfied with the legal services and support I received from his team and would highly recommend him.

Competent and professional service
I hired Eric when I was deployed after I was the subject of a command investigation due alleged misconduct. I knew I wanted to hire a former military judge advocate who was familiar with the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), not to mention he had great reviews. Hiring Eric was a no brainer. ...

Great lawyer!
Eric and his associates were very professional and helpful in my case. He collected paperwork and stayed on top of everything coming down the pipeline from my command.

"Eric and I both served in the Marine Corps together. His reputation is that of a fierce litigator who fights for his clients. I fully endorse this lawyer."
"I have worked with Eric on several cases and can tell you that his attention to detail, work ethic, and passion to get his clients the best results are exceptional. He is great in the courtroom and an overall great guy. Eric has my strongest recommendation."
"I worked under Eric Kopka in 2008. He is great in the courtroom, intelligent, and can cut through to what matters in the case. Eric is a guy people want to be around. I fully endorse him to expertly handle any military matter."
"This is my go-to guy for military affairs. I am an attorney and I represent many marines in criminal matters. Naturally, civilian criminal cases have military ramifications. If you need a military lawyer, you can trust Mr. Kopka to do a fantastic job!"
"My partner Jason Harris and I regularly collaborate with Eric Kopka's office on matters for clients needing both civilian and military representation. Whenever a client needs a referral for base legal work, we send it to Mr. Kopka and his law office."
"Eric is a talented, hard working attorney. Whether you face trial by court-martial or administrative separation, you need his experience. I am a USMC veteran, a former federal prosecutor and a former state prosecutor. I know the power and resources that the government has at their fingertips. If I were facing an issue involving misconduct in the military, I would hire Eric....no question."
