Incredible Defense
Eric and Frédérique were incredibly helpful and responsive from the moment I hired them until well after my case was concluded. Due to their hard work, extensive connections throughout Camp Lejeune, and knowledge of the UCMJ I was able to walk away with an extremely favorable outcome given the circum...

Amazing Legal Team
Facing legal action as an Officer, I was feeling that I may be able to handle the Marine Corps on my own. I learned very quickly that there were many things I did not know.

If you care about your future, hire this man.
When I met Eric I thought my life was about to be over due to a military investigation. There were a lot of false accusations and my personal property had been taken in for evidence by CID.

"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."
