Eric Michael Kopka

I hired Mr. Kopka as my lawyer to submit a petition on my behalf for a discharge upgrade to the Navy Discharge Review Board. All my questions were answer in a timely manner and there was clear communication throughout the whole process and I was able to get my discharge upgraded. I would highly recom...mend him as a lawyer.

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 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.
