Eric Michael Kopka

Eric Kopka is a true master of his profession. I am a CWO5 with over 30 years in the Marine Corps. I tested positive on a uranalysis for an accidental ingestion of my wife's prescription medication. Along with a 6105 Counseling, a Board Of Inquiry (BOI) was convened that could have resulted in ret...irement with an Other than Honorable Discharge (OTH) and reduction of rank to CWO4. If it had not been for Eric Kopka' s diligence, preparedness, and prowess in the court room, my 30 year career would have ended in embarrassment and under a cloud of scrutiny and my reputation tarnished. Eric went down every "rabbit hole" to ensure that we were prepared for the BOI. He systematically dismantled the Prosecuting Attorney's case as he presented the facts and scenario of the how this happened. I strongly recommend Eric and his team to anyone that is facing legal action under the UCMJ. His decades of experience, attention to the details, and skills as a litigator were exactly what was needed to represent me in court. I am very thankful that I was able to hire Eric Kopka.

From the beginning of the process Eric handled my legal issues with compassion, professionalism and, and expertise that left me feeling confident as we navigated through my case. From the article 32 hearing Mr. Kopka showed his skill by being able to remove charges even at the probable cause level. M...r. Kopka was able to not only work with my detailed military counsel but provide them with insight and strategy that greatly improved the overall strength of my defense. Several motions in front of a military judge were won as we approached trial. Mr. Kopka's skill and expertise in trial greatly outmatched that of the government. From opening statements, to closing Mr. Kopka presented my case clearly and confidently. He handled the direct examination of our witnesses perfectly, drawing out the necessary information and more. On cross examination Mr. Kopka exposed inconsistencies in the government's case. Overall Mr. Kopka was the best choice and I highly recommend his services.

As a military member, I had a matter I needed reviewed. Eric was very responsive and provided wise counsel. He has an exceptionally strong eye for detail and a great deal of experience working across the spectrum of issues involving members of the military. He was easy to talk to and had a calm demea...nor that was reassuring. Most importantly, I found Eric to be an extremely talented attorney who cares greatly about his clients. He has my highest recommendation!
