I first spoke to Mr. Kopka when I was on the dark side of the Earth, with hostility and conflicting advice coming at me from every angle, and doubt and confusion in my heart. From that call until the very favorable outcome of the issue I hired him for, he and his staff were a constant source of v...aluable information and advice. As a attorney and a person he is intelligent, articulate, personable, eminently well connected, and in-tune to the local Lejeune legal landscape. In the midst of proceedings before judge and jury he is unflappable, aggressive, and dynamically responsive to the emergence of unforeseen variable. If you are reading this then you likely have need for someone who can bring to bear their experience and insight to confront a scary situation staring you in the face. I cannot recommend strongly enough that you call Mr. Kopka to discuss your issue. I know of no better way to guarantee the most favorable possible outcome. Lastly I very much enjoyed the flat-fee model he employs. It is very easy to understand, and negates worry that you are being nickel-and-dimed. Hire the man, he will do the job.

I was facing both NJP and administrative discharge from the USMC. Eric Kopka represented me flawlessly over the course of six months throughout multiple proceedings that ultimately led to a positive outcome in my case. He skillfully developed a game plan, one that was exactly what was needed to overc...ome the challenges I faced, worked tirelessly to ensure everything associated with that plan was properly prepared, and then expertly executed the plan on game day. Both he and his assistant did not rest until my case was resolved favorably. His in depth knowledge of the military legal system is without compare. Without Mr. Kopka and his Office, I would not be where I am today, nor would I be able to move forward and continue serving this great nation. He is worth every single penny, and if you should find yourself on the wrong side of the military legal system, I would beyond highly recommend hiring him. He saved my life, and kept me from a world of pain I couldn't even begin to imagine. Don't put your career, or life, at jeopardy, hire Mr. Kopka.

Highly recommend Mr. Kopka. He is exceptionally knowledgeable on military law and remarkably well connected from his time in the Marine Corps. Mr. Kopka truly cared about my case and achieving the best outcome possible. Mr. Kopka and his paralegal, Ms. Duverger, strived to keep me informed throughout... the entire process and took the time to listen to any concerns I may have had. My family and I owe my continued service in the Marine Corps to Mr. Kopka and Ms. Duverger.

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!

I went to Eric Kopka in mid-2016 for a consultation because the base's military legal services would not help due to the fact I was not being charged with anything. Mr. Kopka saw me the day I asked for help and spent almost an hour with me, providing advice and recommendations to enable me to draft a... petition on my own. He did not charge me any fees for his time, nor did he pressure me to hire him. A year later I again needed help but was no longer in North Carolina so I obtained his services. He was extremely detailed and attentive, worked around my schedule, answered all my questions and kept me informed throughout the process and ultimately got me through another difficult situation. I have no doubt he saved my career with his expert knowledge and experience of military law. I highly encourage any service member considering obtaining an attorney for help with a military case to contact Mr. Kopka. You will not find a better, more experienced and dedicated lawyer.
