Eric Michael Kopka

I was referred to Eric Kopka by my brother-in-law, whose wife, a lawyer, highly recommended him as the best attorney in town for Marine Corps defense matters. At the time, I was facing legal issues but had no idea of the charges or the situation I was up against. Mr. Kopka guided me through the entir...e process, explaining what to expect and keeping both my wife and me well-informed, even before the charges were officially revealed. Once I learned that I was being falsely accused, Mr. Kopka and his paralegal acted swiftly, helping me gather all the necessary information to build my defense. On the day of my hearing, Mr. Kopka's performance at the administrative separation board was nothing short of impressive. He demonstrated extensive knowledge of my case and the legal process, and within 15 minutes of the closing statements, I was unanimously vindicated and retained, with the board finding no basis for the charges against me. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Even before the verdict was announced, I felt confident and at peace, knowing that Mr. Kopka had delivered a stellar defense. My only regret is not being able to give him more than five stars. Thank you, Mr. Kopka, for everything.

My really good friend was falsely accused and convicted at a court martial because he had poor legal representation from the military. I encouraged him to seek a civilian lawyer who specializes in military law. Eric Kopka and his firm was highly recommended by another good military friend of mine wh...o had used him and had a favorable outcome. My friend hired Eric and his team to represent him at his administrative separation board. Eric and his team had three months to prepare for the board in hopes that they could appeal to the members for a possible favorable discharge or best case, retention of service in the USMC. Eric’s preparedness, attention to every detail and superior military wisdom not only proved my friend was innocent on all accounts but was able to be retained for service even after the conviction. I highly recommend Eric and his firm. It was the best decision made to hire him. If you’re looking for military representation there is no doubt in my mind that Eric is the best candidate.

I was found guilty of Articles 92 and 93 of the UCMJ at a Special Court Martial for incidents I knew I was innocent of but had no way to prove my innocence. Throughout the process, Eric and Freddy never treated me as a criminal or a monster like my command did. They provided unwavering support during... my administrative separation, helped clear my name, and ultimately allowed me to retain my career, enabling me to now retire after 20 years of service. Eric and Freddy were phenomenal throughout the entire ordeal, always maintaining the highest level of professionalism. They were quick to respond to every question I had and consistently reached out to keep me informed. When the time came for my board, everything was meticulously prepared, and Eric’s experience and professionalism were evident at every step. I highly recommend Eric to anyone in need of legal support.

The law firm is simply amazing!!! The paralegal and lawyer are a blessing to have working with you! I had a grueling 2 and a half months of wondering will I be able to continue to serve and the preparation, the care, knowledge that Eric Kopka law firm provided to me was outstanding!!! I will recommen...d this law firm to anyone who needs good people that are great at their job!!!

Military legal and administrative situation demand a unique set of support. Mr. Kopka and his team are the premier choice. With his in depth knowledge and expertise drawn from his continued practice of law in addition to his extensive time serving on active duty service, Mr. Kopka is an excellent cho...ice to assist with your case. While working together he kept an objective lens, he sought out and gathered supporting facts, we conducting rehearsals (which was a huge benefit), and the work and efforts paid off in then end. I encourage anyone needing assistance with legal or administrative services to reach out to his office and staff (who hold the same professional standard as Mr. Kopka) to inquire about his services. Thank you Eric and all of your staff!
