My case was highly unusual and deeply challenging. I was facing one count of sexual harassment and one count of harassment, and unfortunately, I received little to no support from the military. I felt completely in the dark about the status of my case and what to expect going forward. That changed th...e moment I hired Mr. Kopka. From the outset, Mr. Kopka brought clarity, structure, and unwavering support to my situation. He kept me fully informed about every development in my case and helped shift the way I was being treated by the military. It was clear that having a strong and experienced attorney like Mr. Kopka on my side made a significant impact. Beyond his legal expertise, Mr. Kopka provided genuine personal support during one of the most difficult times in my life. He took time out of his busy schedule to speak with me when I was struggling emotionally, offering reassurance and helping me stay focused and strong. Mr. Kopka stood by my side in court and, most importantly, delivered real results. The charges against me were reduced from sexual harassment and harassment to a two charges of fraternization. Instead of facing a court-martial, I received a non-judicial punishment (NJP), which was a much more favorable outcome. In my experience, military lawyers who know of Mr. Kopka consistently express great respect for his work—many say that if they ever needed representation, he would be their first call. If you're in need of a military defense attorney, I cannot recommend Mr. Kopka highly enough. He will fight for you with integrity, professionalism, and dedication every step of the way.

Mr. Kopka is very experienced and an expert in military law. He met and talked with me throughout and made sure I was comfortable with the proces...s. If you want to improve your odds of a favorable outcome I'd recommend contacting him as soon as possible.

I wholeheartedly endorse the legal services provided by Mr. Kopka and his team. As a former client, I had the privilege of working with Mr. Kopka during a challenging period in my military career. I was facing allegations of violating Article 92 of the UCMJ and administrative separation stemming from... a positive urinalysis test. Separation would have ended my eight years in the Marine Corps and resulted in the forfeiture of my benefits. I knew I was innocent and immediately began looking for military lawyers. After consulting with Mr. Kopka and his team, I knew that hiring him would be the most successful course of action. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Kopka and his team demonstrated a thorough understanding of military law, and a genuine care for my case. Their expertise and guidance were instrumental in navigating appropriate responses to the allegations and preparing for the separation board hearing. Mr. Kopka's team displayed exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail in every interaction. They maintained open and transparent communication throughout the entire process, providing timely updates and addressing my concerns. During the separation board hearing, Mr. Kopka's advocacy skills and presentation were outstanding. He presented a compelling and well-reasoned case on my behalf, demonstrating thorough understanding of the facts and military law. I was impressed by his situational awareness and critical thinking. It was clear to me that he understood the social tempo and environment of the room which made a significant impact on the outcome of my case. The board found no basis to the allegations against me which is testament to Mr. Kopka's expertise and dedication. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone facing similar challenges in the military justice system. In my opinion, Mr. Kopka and his team are exceptional attorneys who possess the skills, expertise, and personal qualities necessary to provide outstanding representation to their clients. I strongly endorse Mr. Kopka and his team to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated military defense attorney. Their exceptional service, expertise, and commitment to their clients are truly unparalleled, and I have no doubt that they will continue to provide outstanding representation to their clients in the future.

Topic: Political bias while in uniform Discussion: During my retirement ceremony I elected to have Donald Trump LOA read instead of the current sitting President. The narrator read the LOA that was mailed from Donald Trump himself and signed. Added was the following: Signed Donald J. Trump 45th... President and soon to be 47th". Ultimately (5) IG complaints were filed (IMEF, IIMEF, IIIMEF, 1stMarDiv, and HQMC). The investigation was launched, and a narrative was formed, I was never read my rights or suspected of a crime, but I was placed on legal hold and my retirement was in limbo. My name was entered in the "Officers Blackbook" and I was informed of the administrative process that could take 9-12 months easily putting my retirement plans on hold and uncertainty. Eric Kopka and his team took my case and begun to work immediately by calling top leadership in the Division letting them know he is representing me. I began to see results as Eric Kopka walked this administrative process every step of the way and ultimately navigating my package through DCMR&A. My retirement ceremony was held on Sept 12th and my case was resolved Nov 27th . My name was removed from the "Officers Blackbook" and a letter was entered into my OMPF. I was able to keep my original day of EAS and carry-on with my retirement plans. It was a reassuring feeling knowing that Eric Kopka specializes in Military Law, the active-duty legal teams throughout the levels of leadership knew Eric Kopka's pedigree and ensured my package was the first to get actioned. I wanted to share my experience with future clients because I did not know where to turn and by word of mouth, I was able to get Eric's information and make a phone call. Eric Kopka and team, thank you for your professionalism, timeliness, and speedy results. Ryan Spyker
