I was facing a special court martial for 112a after 18 years of service. By far this was the most stressful time in my life, facing jail time, bad discharge, and losing my benefits. Eric explained the entire process to me and gathered all the facts of my case. Eric and his staff was available via ph...one or face to face when I had questions. His attention to detail and hard work help lead to a not guilty verdict in my special court martial case. Now I can continue on with my military career, I’m truly grateful. Eric is a true professional whom cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Eric for any service member facing any legal military action.

I was discharged from the USMC in 1999 with an OTH. I had hired two attorneys before Eric. One had taken a position with the Navy and had to drop me as a client. And the second one ended up getting disbarred. I was having REALLY bad luck finding a solid law firm to represent me. I was happy that I ca...me across the Kopka law firm. I have nothing but good things to say about them. I was told by my command, when I was being processed out as a youngster, "that my discharge would be automatically upgraded after six months". Ya right. Don't believe this one! Fifteen years and three attorneys later I finally received my upgrade to general under honorable conditions. Don't make the same mistakes I did, hire Eric the first time around. His team's professionalism and responsiveness is key when trying to navigate the overly complex upgrade process. What defines success at the end of the day? Results. Eric's team got me upgraded.

Mr. Kopka and his staff were very helpful and knowledgable in helping me threw my process of njp. They helped me prepare and adviced me threw my njp process and protected me in my separation from service and allowing me to continue to a honrable discharge. They were highly responsive and saved me muc...h stress threw out the process. I would highly recommend them for all military law issues.

My unit charged me with a special court martial over a year ago. After seeing the tragedy, that was my appointed military lawyer, I started my search for someone to hire. I sat down with multiple lawyers, and it was Eric's personality that set him above the rest. I made the right choice. Eric and hi...s staff were always professional and knowledgeable. I called his office with probably a million questions, and each one of them were answered in a timely fashion. Face-to-face meetings were weekly, and I never felt left in the dark, not once. Throughout the whole process he was always in contact with the trial counsel, my unit, and most importantly myself. He never tried to push me one way or the other, but instead gave me the power of making my own choices. I flip-flopped back and forth between wanting to fight the court martial, and wanting to take an NJP. He was always prepared for both, and did his best to lay out any terms that I wanted. In the end I took a battalion level NJP, ON MY TERMS, and the charges were thrown out. When it comes to any military legal problems I highly recommend Eric. Him and his staff's hard work and professionalism is second to none. I cannot thank them enough for the bright future I have ahead!

Mr. Kopka is tremendously well versed in military law. As my counsel he became a reliable buffer between the convening authority, military investigators and myself. During my six month ordeal Mr. Kopka was only a phone call or email away for any question. The usual runaround experienced during cou...rt martial proceedings is dispelled when you obtain counsel like Mr. Kopka. I was charged and taken to special court martial by my command. Mr. Kopka and I had face-to-face meetings weekly and I was always kept abreast of all developments in my case. During the trial proceedings, Mr. Kopka effortlessly presented facts, argued motions, and fought for my acquittal. His team of paralegals and investigators are professional, knowledgeable, unbiased, and trustworthy. I was acquitted of all charges, allowed to transfer, and am continuing my blemish free career all with the unrelenting perseverance of Mr. Eric Kopka and associates. I highly recommend Mr. Kopka as counsel to anyone I know. Mr. Kopka and associates will relieve the stress of pending legalities by shouldering them for you, and fighting on your side.
