"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."
