Eric Michael Kopka

I first reached out to Mr. Kopka nearly two years ago. At the time, I was charged with an incident that occurred off-base. My case had been adjudicated in civilian court, but the military had continued to process for separation. Mr. Kopka quickly got in touch with the right people necessary to ensure... that I received fair consideration in all matters, and drafted up supporting documentation on my behalf. Mr. Kopka and Frederique (his paralegal who was also extremely helpful in the process) kept me abreast of the entire process, and responded to inquiries in a prompt manner. Thanks to them, I have my career back. If you have any doubt as to whether it is worth it to hire him, don't. He will shoot you straight on where you stand and where he can help assist, and he has the expertise necessary to get you on your feet again. I cannot thank him enough!

Retaining the services of Eric Kopka was the best decision that I could’ve made. His intimate knowledge of the military judicial system allows him to anticipate, advise and prepare for any eventuality that may occur. Eric and Freddie were no more than a phone call away for over 3 years and 2 differ...ent cases, one of which the Marine Corps decided to take to an Article 32 hearing. Thankfully, both cases were dismissed and I only have Eric and his team to thank. During the entire process the communication and updates were constant, nothing was a surprise, and most importantly they kept me calm. I highly recommend Mr. Kopka and his firm no matter how small the charges may be. Thank you Eric and Freddy for helping finish my career!

I hired Eric when facing a General Court Martial with 3 counts of aggravated assault and the possibility of up to 15 years in jail. Within a few weeks Eric had a pre-trial agreement ready for me to sign that was for NJP with all other charges dropped. He then ensured that I was retained in the Marine... Corps and that the effects of the NJP were minimal. Eric and his team are outstanding professionals of the highest caliber. They will set your mind at ease with their consistency, professionalism, confidence, and integrity. If you are facing ANY type of military charge and need representation that will help you navigate the complexities of military law, you can not find a better attorney than Eric Kopka.

We hired Mr Kopka when our enlisted son was NJPd and facing an OTH discharge. The law can be complicated for the average person, add the military component and you have some real confusion. Mr Kopka was able to break down our sons case succinctly, explains his options and give us insight. As pare...nts who are 600 miles away this was an intimidating process but both Mr Kopka and Freddie were able to put our minds at ease with their extensive knowledge and experience . We were kept in the loop every step, and any questions or concerns we had were answered immediately. Our family is indebted to Mr Kopka for our son is able to continue his honorable career with the USMC. We highly recommend Mr Kopka

I first spoke to Mr. Kopka when I was on the dark side of the Earth, with hostility and conflicting advice coming at me from every angle, and doubt and confusion in my heart. From that call until the very favorable outcome of the issue I hired him for, he and his staff were a constant source of v...aluable information and advice. As a attorney and a person he is intelligent, articulate, personable, eminently well connected, and in-tune to the local Lejeune legal landscape. In the midst of proceedings before judge and jury he is unflappable, aggressive, and dynamically responsive to the emergence of unforeseen variable. If you are reading this then you likely have need for someone who can bring to bear their experience and insight to confront a scary situation staring you in the face. I cannot recommend strongly enough that you call Mr. Kopka to discuss your issue. I know of no better way to guarantee the most favorable possible outcome. Lastly I very much enjoyed the flat-fee model he employs. It is very easy to understand, and negates worry that you are being nickel-and-dimed. Hire the man, he will do the job.
