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.

I hired Mr. Kopkas firm to represent my son when he got in trouble while enlisted.I had no previous knowledge how the marines judicial system worked and put all my trust in this firm to help save my sons career with the military.They did not .I have never written a review and fell compelled to let ot...her people know how I feel about their performance on this case.I was not informed on any progress at any time and when I called their office had a hard time getting any info or even a courtesy call back.I honestly feel they wanted to get paid and did not put any effort into my sons case.I wish I hired another attorney maybe we would have had a better outcome .I am sorry I had to leave this review and I thought long and hard about doing so,

Eric did an outstanding job! He allowed me to make periodic payments which enable me to maintain his excellent legal representation for over a year. He knows all the key leadership in the Marine Corps legal system which helped bring my case to a smooth a positive conclusion. He is truly the best mili...tary lawyer in NC!!
