Awesome lawyer
Great lawyer. Saved my career. Is a shark in the court room. Mr. Kopka brought his decades of experience in military law to the table and schooled the government’s lawyers in the court room.

Couldn’t have asked for better counsel
Both Eric and Freddie were amazing at every turn. It didn’t matter what questions I had, they were there with an answer or to walk me through whatever I needed for my case. They were kind, compassionate, and willing to fight at every turn. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone.
