My legal troubles began in the summer of 2015. It was once I realized the severity of the situation that I began to seek council from an attorney. I hired Mr. Kopka and his office, and it was the correct decision. What began as an accusation turned into what I feared could be potential jail time. Eri...c and his office was there every step of the way, advising me on what I needed to do, where the case was at, and what could/would potentially happen next. The federal prosecutor eventually decided not to pursue charges which I firmly believe Eric was instrumental in. The command was not ok with not doing anything so I was informed I would be heading to an administrative separations board. The office didn't skip and beat and began preparing for our day in court. Eric's conviction and determination remained and I am proud to say that I can continue my service honorably. Watching what Eric does in the a courtroom is inspiring. My life, and the lives of my family was on the line and Eric Kopka was ABSOLUTLELY the man that I wanted representing me that day. If I ever need any legal advice or assistance in the future, Eric will be my first call.

My promotion was withheld because of a DUI Charge that was eventually dismissed. Command was not sure what they wanted to do and was holding my request for promotion to be reinstated. Eric completed my package for promtion and stayed on the command to endorse and forward to HQMC. Eric kept me infor...med at all times on the status of my package and ultimately was responsible for my request being approved and back dated to original date of rank. Straight to the point, no nonsense and professional individual. Would and will recommend him to anyone who is in need of his services. Thanks again Eric, you have definitely had a great impact on my future returement!!!

Mr Kopka and his office have worked tirelessly on my case and was available whenever I needed them. I always received an immediate response from Ms Duverger, the paralegal and felt completely comfortable and confident in their ability to handle my case. I believe the positive outcome of my case would... never have been achieved if it weren't for their professionalism and hard work ethic. I would not hesitate to recommend their office to anyone that would need legal counsel.

I retained Eric's services nearly two years ago on the recommendation of a military lawyer who could not help me at the time. I knew nothing about Eric but after my initial consultation I knew I was in the right place. Eric is extremely personable, and it is obvious that he really cares about his... clients and their lives and takes on their problems as if they were his own. However, it is also obvious from the start that that attitude applies only to his clients. Outside the office and in dealing with commands or opposing counsels Eric is an absolute pitbull. His number one priority is always his client and he is relentless in his defense thereof. Though Eric is extremely aggressive in his work he is also respected by nearly everyone in the area involved in legal proceedings. He has a background in both prosecution and defense from his time on active duty so he knows the ins and outs of the system by heart and his competence cannot be questioned. Likewise his morals are unflinching which I have to believe earned him a great deal of the respect and rapport he has with the legal community around Camp Lejeune. Lastly Eric's is a small firm and the team he has works flawlessly. Throughout the 21 months of my investigation I was never unable to get in contact with either Eric or Freddie and always received prompt call backs or responses to emails. In short Eric is exactly the person you want in your corner. He knows what he's doing, cares about the people he defends, and works his ass off for his clients.

I am very thankful to Mr. Kopka and his team! From the very first meeting I had with him, I knew that my issues would be looked into and sorted through with a fine tooth comb. Throughout my entire 14 month ordeal, Mr. Kopka and Ms. Duverger were always available to help calm my worries and keep me in...formed of what was going on. Through them, I knew of changes to my case before my command decided to inform me. When given the option of legal counsel from the government or choosing someone who will actually take the time to fight for you, I will choose Mr. Kopka every time! He is the only one I will recommend to anyone facing legal action in the military. His knowledge of the law is vast and his tenacity is unmatched. I am able to continue my career because of his skill and determination. Thank you, Mr. Kopka and associates, for everything you have done for me.
