Protecting Your Best Interests
Eric and his team were able to assist me with claims made against me while I was away at a training exercise. Upon return they continued to engage as my liaison to the command while I was under investigation. He guided me through the investigation process and together we made sound decisions that ult...

Very impressive
Truly top tier. Ive used a number of different attorneys for all different things throughout my life. Eric undoubtedly has been the best. You will feel like you have representation that cares as much (or maybe even more) than you do about achieving results. Whether it is his thoroughness when putting...

Extremely Satisfied. Best Legal Representation
Eric and his team were excellent. I know the system is slow and sometimes it takes a long time to receive an update.

A Game-Changer in My Military Legal Battle
My case was highly unusual and deeply challenging. I was facing one count of sexual harassment and one count of harassment, and unfortunately, I received little to no support from the military.

Eric and his tribe are the best!!!!
Eric and his tribe have been nothing but amazing since the start of my adversity and journey. This month marks 2-years and they are not only still by my side, but my families as well and helping/fighting hard to the finish line. Eric, Freddie and Hana have been nothing but respectful, professional, c...
"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."
