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.

If it wasn't for Mr. Kopka, I don't believe that my case would have turned out as favorably for me as it has. He is well educated in law and knowledgeable in the "ins and outs" of military life and legal. Naively I put my trust and fate into my Command. Eventually coming to my senses and realizing ho...w much of a mistake that was I called Eric Kopka's office immediately, I only wish I had done so sooner. Mr. Eric Kopka and his paralegal Ms. Frederique Duverger relentlessly worked, building evidence to help my case. When I sometimes doubted myself and I began to quiver under the pressure from my Command their reassurance encouraged me to succeed. Eric Kopka is an experienced professional. I'm very thankful that he was on my side and not against me. It was a great decision to hire him and highly recommend him.

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 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.
