Eric Michael Kopka

Eric Kopka and his paralegal, Frederique, were instrumental in the timely resolution of my investigation and provided the best outcome possible. Immediately after retaining his services I no longer felt uncertain about the status of the proceedings or that my best interests weren’t being pursued. Eri...c routinely checked in on me and provided updates on the investigation and let me know what to expect at each step. The feeling of security Eric Kopka provided was invaluable during this stressful time. After the investigation concluded Eric and Frederique continued working on administrative packages to retain my promotion selection and saved my career. I would recommend Eric Kopka’s services to any service member subject of an investigation and I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Eric Kopka is an exceptional lawyer. From the first contact he instills confidence and hope for a good outcome, while still providing a realistic assessment of the legal landscape. He listens patiently and is able to quickly sort out important details from extraneous information, and build the str...ongest case possible with the facts he has. His vast experience and successes in military law allow him to cut through much of the red tape and focus on the most important factors for your case as he guides you through the process. And most importantly, he gives his full effort, never short changing any aspect of his representation. This is the lawyer you want by your side when the military legal system is crushing you. He represented me in a highly sensitive and politically charged matter and he led me to the best possible outcome. I would recommend Eric Kopka to anyone needing legal representation for military law.

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!

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 am a Sailor who was stationed with a Marine unit and I had been NJPed once and a few weeks later, was charged again and pending NJP. I knew that I was being targeted and refused NJP and requested Court Martial. I have been in the Navy for 10 years, and have never been in trouble until I came to t...his command. I didn’t understand everything that was going on and a friend of mine directed me to Eric Kopka. From the minute that I walked into his office, his staff made me feel so welcome. There is no doubt in my mind, that Eric and his team are knowledgeable people, who are willing to do whatever it takes to help their client. While my case wasn’t a typical case, my questions were answered, In a way that I could understand and set my mind at ease. As the time came closer for the Court Martial, I would regularly hear from Eric and his paralegal. Their confidence helped me to feel more confident in our case. He always made sure that I knew everything that could possibly happen. He was honest and never told me what I wanted to hear. He wanted to make sure that I knew every possible outcome of my case and never sugar coated things. When the case switched from a Court Martial to ADSEP, he and Freddie, never missed a beat. They both made the whole process less painful than it could have been. You can tell that they have worked together for a while because they make a wonderful team. Thanks to the hard work of Eric and Freddie, I was retained in the Navy. I have already recommended them to several of my friends and will continue to do so. If you need someone who knows Marine Corps Law and who will fight for you, not just take your money, The Law Office of Eric Kopka should be your next phone call!
