Eric Michael Kopka

Top notch attorney that provides excellent advice during trying times. Staff is responsive and professional. If you have an issue, Eric will outline options and ensure you get the best outcome possible. Would recommend to military personnel regardless of rank or issue. He has the depth, relations...hip and understanding to address any issue.

My young Marine son needed help dealing with an Ad Sep that wasn't fair or just given all of the circumstances and evidence. Someone recommended Eric for legal support and that was the best recommendation I could have received. After our initial consultation, I immediately knew, given Eric's military... and legal experience, that he and his team were the right choice to help my son. He and Freddie were very detailed oriented with all of the initial information gathering from us, from the medical providers, and from the Marine Corps. They were very proactive in the case. They were very caring towards us and my son. I never felt rushed in any of our discussions. Eric knew all of the ins and outs of the Marine Corps as well. The legal package they put together was very thorough and detailed. I firmly believe that that package, plus Eric's legal conversations with the SJA office, were the reasons the Commanding General quickly ruled in favor of my son. This ruling decision will have a huge impact on the rest of my son's life. If you or a loved one is in need of expert military legal counsel then Eric is the one you want to call. Someone recommended him to me so I'm passing that favor on and recommending him to you. Don't hesitate...Eric and Freddie are worth having in your corner.

Eric Kopka and his paralegal Frederique Bedson are amazing!!! Extremely knowledgeable of the system and very thorough in their preparation and delivery. DO NOT WAIT until it’s too late, hire him as soon as there is any sign you might need an attorney! Had I just trusted anyone to represent me or e...ven the assigned counsel, then the outcome would have vastly different. Eric will give you all the facts and recommendations to help you understand the legal process and make decisions. I lived in a completely different state and yet that never slowed Eric down! He was far more responsive, active, and knowledgeable than my originally assigned counsel that was working on the same base that I was. Not to say that assigned counsel are bad…but most are typically less experienced and are overloaded with other cases, standard military training, education for furthering their career, and the list goes on. My assign counsel was professional and seemed eager to assist, however they were never available and rarely had information for me. It was extremely hard for me to just trust a stranger with my career and future so I asked a great deal of questions. Eric and his paralegal were patient with me and explained everything along the way. He was far more knowledgeable of the process than my command, command legal, and apparently those advising my command. When it was said and done, Eric was right about everything. Don’t just hope things go well, take action by hiring someone that understands the process and has done it exceptionally well for many years…..call Eric Kopka!!!

I was referred to Mr. Kopka by a friend who had utilized his services a time or two. I called his office and was setup with a consult in an expeditious manner. During the consult, I explained my situation and Mr. Kopka explained how the entire legal process would work from start to finish. He then fi...lled me in on the prices and was immediately hired. Mr. Kopka and his assistant proved to be extremely knowledgeable from the beginning and were always available during the day. They would even make themselves available after hours if I needed anything. Ultimately we were successful in my specific case and the entire process went as smooth as possible. Highly recommend.
