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.

I hired Mr. Kopka to represent me at a BOI after I was found to have violated numerous articles of the UCMJ. From our first meeting until the completion of the BOI Mr. Kopka and his staff were very thorough in preparing my defense. I felt as if Mr. Kopka and his staff prepared my case as if he was ...fighting for himself to be able to continue his service in the United States Marine Corps. At the BOI he did an amazing job at presenting our case and the board recommended that I be retained. Thanks to Mr. Kopka I am able to continue my service in the United States Marine Corps and retire at 20 YOS.

I am a E5 in the Navy. I was faced with nine serious charges including sexual and assault charges that would potentially ruin my life. After a lot of review, I engaged Eric on my case, which turned out to be the best decision I made! Eric is a very straight forward professional that is extremely know...ledgeable in military law. He is upfront and fair, and walked me through each step of the way. He was successful in getting me down to two small charges and no confinement! I would recommend Eric to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. Thank you, Eric!!

I retained Eric roughly a year and a half ago and when I found out I was under investigation by NCIS. I came in for a consultation and immediately noticed Eric was the the man for the job he doesn’t sugar coat anything he tells you the truth about everything. He working flawlessly on my case througho...ut the past year and a half which lead to a article 32 hearing. He represented me flawlessly and brought the truth to light. After this whole process the end result was all charges being dismissed. If your in need of any legal help do your self a favor and go see Eric Kopka I promise you will not regret it. Also his paralegal Freddy is also just as good any questions I had she would answer and always keep me updated.

I first reached out to Mr. Kopka nearly two years ago. At the time, I was charged with an incident that occurred off-base. My case had been adjudicated in civilian court, but the military had continued to process for separation. Mr. Kopka quickly got in touch with the right people necessary to ensure... that I received fair consideration in all matters, and drafted up supporting documentation on my behalf. Mr. Kopka and Frederique (his paralegal who was also extremely helpful in the process) kept me abreast of the entire process, and responded to inquiries in a prompt manner. Thanks to them, I have my career back. If you have any doubt as to whether it is worth it to hire him, don't. He will shoot you straight on where you stand and where he can help assist, and he has the expertise necessary to get you on your feet again. I cannot thank him enough!
