When you need a Military Lawyer look no farther. Unfortunately I had an anonymous complaint against me. My unit moved me to another unit while conducting the investigation. My command did not inform me of the allegation. Nor did they inform me of where anything was in the process. I had zero idea of ...what was going on, within 24 hours of hiring Eric I knew basically what the complaint was. He kept me informed where the process was and consistently kept me informed of the next step. If I did not hire Eric I would have either made a mistake risking my career, or been extremely distracted by not knowing what was happening. Because of the peace of mind Eric gave me I was able to focus on my responsibilities and kept a positive attitude. I believe the outcome would have different if I didn’t hire him. I highly recommend Eric! Amongst the lawyers on base, there isn’t anyone that wants to go up against him. I heard that time and time again. Completely worth the money! You can’t put a price on peace of mind.

After an unfortunate event that put my military career in jeopardy, I chose to hire Eric to represent me at my Administrative Separation Board. Eric and his assistant Freddie are thorough, knowledgeable, persistent, and very informative. They were also always available to answer all of my questions. ...My case was dismissed with no findings and I was able to continue serving in the military. Whether you have a minor hiccup in your record that you want fixed or facing major circumstances like seperation, hiring the dream team will not leave you disappointed!

I hired Eric when I was deployed after I was the subject of a command investigation due alleged misconduct. I knew I wanted to hire a former military judge advocate who was familiar with the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), not to mention he had great reviews. Hiring Eric was a no brainer. ... He and Freddie were very accommodating of my schedule while I was deployed and addressed all my questions and concerns. He immediately gave me peace of mind. Upon return from my deployment, I met with Eric and Freddie in person and they were just as wonderful as they were on the phone and via email. After the conclusion of the command investigation, the command took no action; however, a separate agency initiated a secondary investigation into the same alleged misconduct. He again, guided me through this process and put my mind at ease. In total, my investigations lasted almost a year. Although I was not subjected to any administrative or disciplinary action, having Eric on my team was invaluable. I cannot stress the quality of representation and expert knowledge Eric possesses. I would hire him again and I highly recommend him for anyone needing representation in the military.

Mr. Kopka was hired to help me with my case of administrative separation. I gave him all the paperwork I had from my time in the Marine Corps. This included my NJP'S, 6105, and training jacket. Based off all the information given to him, Mr. Kopka, was able to formulate a good defense for my board. I...n my personal opinion I believe that Mr. Kopka is the best person to obtain for any case you are going through. He is definitely very knowledgeable about what steps that need to be taken.

Eric Kopka is an exceptional lawyer. From the first contact he instills confidence and hope for a good outcome, while still providing a realistic assessment of the legal landscape.

His vast experience and successes in military law allow him to cut through much of the red tape and focus on the most important factors for your case as he guides you through the process. And most importantly, he gives his full effort, never short changing any aspect of his representation. This is the lawyer you want by your side when the military legal system is crushing you.
