Is your career or future on the line? Please do not go to battle without this Lawyer. He will care about your problems just as much as you would. I have seen his performance in the courtroom and if it wasn't for him, I may would have not gotten the outcome that I had. I thank God for pointing me in ...Eric's direction. Be upfront with this guy because he will definitely be upfront with you. He was there for me every step of the way during my legal proceedings and he will do the same for you. After hearing him in the courtroom I begin to thank God that he was on my side and not against me. When I felt like I had enough, when I was ready to give in, or when I was ready to throw in the towel, Eric would reassure me that "We are going to get through this." He never said just me it was always "we"......you need this. Believe me hire him sooner rather than later and let this Lawyer work.

I hired Mr. Kopka after I was notified that someone had made sexual assault allegations against me. He quickly reviewed my case and worked closely with me every step of the way. He has a no "bs" attitude and worked diligently on my case which was scheduled to go to a court martial. The government ...dropped all charges soon after I hired Mr. Kopka. I would HIGHLY recommend him and would never handle a military legal situation without his assistance. I owe my career, reputation, and more importantly, my future to Mr. Kopka and his team.

I was facing a Summary Court Martial and possible administrative separation after 15 years in the Marine Corps. Mr Kopka was very honest and up front with best and worst case scenarios which could happen due to the legal issues I had. Fortunately, Mr Kopka was able to help me secure the best possib...le out come for my case. Mr Kopka and his office worked tirelessly on my case and were 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. Mr Kopka is very familiar with legal and law enforcement personal (along the East Coast) which helps him to fully understand the situation of a case and provide the best legal options to his clients. Thanks to Law Office of Mr Kopka, I will be able to finish my Marine Corps career with an HONOR!

Upon returning home from a deployment I was notified by my chain of command that I had tested positive for a controlled substance while operational. It was apparent that I needed to seek help and guidance from outside of the Marine Corps as I was immediately notified that administrative separation wa...s imminent. From my first conversation with Eric I was given hope of a future despite actions that were being taken against me. Eric explained the differences between allegations & charges, how false positives are very common in the military and the process to be taken in order to defend my innocence. The entire process from start to finish was lengthy and took relatively 6 months to fully clear my name. With Eric’s help I was never subjected to a separation board or Court Martial which would have only lengthened the process. Eric’s knowledge, professionalism and confidence was apparent from start to finish. He continually took a strategic approach to defending me and taught me the essence of when it was imperative to remain silent in order to allow him to rebuttal. Eric is one of the sole reasons why I still have a career within the military. He has my utmost appreciation, respect and recommendation. If you are seeking any sort of false prosecution from the military or are in need of legal representation this is the individual you need to hire to defend you in your case. Eric, sincerely thank you for your dedication, commitment and audacity when it comes to defending those of us who have been wrongly accused. Your impact has been inspirational and your devotion to duty has allowed me to serve in the capacity I was designed for.

I was facing very serious allegations in civilian court which resulted in the Marine Corps wanting to separate me. Having no experience with anything along these lines before I, and my family, knew we needed legal assistance. After meeting with a base lawyer and not feeling very confident, I decided ...to reach out to Mr. Kopka. From our first meeting I immediately knew that he was a professional and experienced. He always seemed like he cared about my case and would work diligently to get the outcome for me that my family and I needed. He and his staff were always available to answer questions for me as well as for my family members. Through his attention to detail and professionalism he was able to get the board to come to a decision to discharge with a General Under Honorable characterization. With this characterization my family will still be able to get the benefits they need, which was what was most important to me throughout this entire process. I would absolutely recommend his services to any one in need of legal advice and assistance. Our family will always be grateful for his hard work and dedication to my case.
