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 was hesitant at first to hire a civilian attorney, however after having a consult with Mr. Kopka I was confident that he was the man for my case. I am glad I hired him to assist. There was never a time that we was not available to me. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a chance to win my c...ase and I did with better results than expected. I would recommend him for anyone who wants a chance to save their career.

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.

Eric is one the best Military Law professionals that I have had the privilege to work with. I had a very difficult and challenging case, one that received a lot of top-level scrutiny, and with Eric's extensive experience and well-developed network of relationships, I was able to have my case heard in... a fair and unprejudiced manner. Eric provided key insights at critical times, and helped to review important letters and correspondence. Additionally, Eric assisted my civilian attorney and provided key insights to the parallel civil court proceedings that assisted in that venue tremendously. I would highly recommend Eric's services to anyone who feels that they are getting unfairly prosecuted or feeling the effects of undo command influence.

I was facing serious administrative punishment through the Marine Corps and I have never felt so helpless in my entire life. My initial consultation with Mr. Kopka was reassuring that I was having fate in him to help sort out my problems. He understood the potential consequences that I was facing and... explained the different avenues to take that would work out in my favor. He put a lot of time into my case and presented it well to the appropriate personnel involved. Mr. Kopka will represent you like you would represent yourself. I never doubted his abilities to get ahead to help me in my dire need. All cases are different and the outcomes will vary as well, but if you are looking into hiring an attorney, look no further...Mr. Kopka and his associate will do everything within their power to get you the verdict you think you deserve (I know I did). They are very professional and communication process is outstanding; my phone calls were answered, if not they returned my call in a timely manner. Mr. Kopka has the knowledge and expertise in dealing with military law and military orders...A friend of mine had recommended to contact him because he has a good reputation in his field of work and I am recommending anyone who needs his service because I had first hand experience that he can get the job done. My case was closed with an outcome he said he would do his best to achieve and he did. Very pleased with their service. Thank you Mr. Kopka!...I can now move on with my life.
