Will Fight for You!
When the Marine appointed me a Lawyer who said "I don't believe you but good thing you don't have to convince me..." I decided to go out on my own and I found Mr. Kopka. Without his expertise and determination to help me prove myself I could have lost everything. Now I'm a Helicopter Pilot and have ...

Best Damn Lawyer
I hired Eric Kopka 9 months ago to represent me as I was pending an administrative separation board. I was already on a medical board pending retirement and was about to lose everything if we didn't win the case. I knew I was innocent and now we just needed to prove it. Eric and his team put everythi...

Amazing Attorney
Eric was extremely diligent in his work and very knowledgeable with military law. Was given a very short period of time to work with and did an amazing job. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend him to anyone needing legal representation, especially in matters pertaining to military law.

Eric and Freddie are an excellent team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I retained Eric's services nearly two years ago on the recommendation of a military lawyer who could not help me at the time. I knew nothing about Eric but after my initial consultation I knew I was in the right place. Eric is extremely personable, and it is obvious that he really cares about his...
"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."
