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,

My legal troubles began in the summer of 2015. It was once I realized the severity of the situation that I began to seek council from an attorney. I hired Mr. Kopka and his office, and it was the correct decision. What began as an accusation turned into what I feared could be potential jail time. Eri...c and his office was there every step of the way, advising me on what I needed to do, where the case was at, and what could/would potentially happen next. The federal prosecutor eventually decided not to pursue charges which I firmly believe Eric was instrumental in. The command was not ok with not doing anything so I was informed I would be heading to an administrative separations board. The office didn't skip and beat and began preparing for our day in court. Eric's conviction and determination remained and I am proud to say that I can continue my service honorably. Watching what Eric does in the a courtroom is inspiring. My life, and the lives of my family was on the line and Eric Kopka was ABSOLUTLELY the man that I wanted representing me that day. If I ever need any legal advice or assistance in the future, Eric will be my first call.

I appreciate Mr. Kopka's constant assistance and efforts in my legal process. I am thoroughly impressed with the work ethic he put into my case and highly recommend him to anyone who may be dealing with legal issues. I was very nervous and irritated prior to hiring his services. I not only appreci...ate Mr. Kopka, but his assistants as well, that helped and directly spoke with me on numerous occasions.

Mr. Kopka should be the first call you make if you are in the military and require legal assistance. His knowledge of military law is unparalleled. Mr. Kopka and his staff assisted me through the most stressful time of my life when I was falsely accused of sexual assault. He immediately explained ...the process and stuck with me through a year of hell. The bottom line is that he saved my career not only for myself but my family as well.

I was told by very knowledgeable individuals that Eric Kopka was THE best in the Lejune area and that is exactly what he proved to be. After being placed in a poor situation by my command, I lost their backing where I should've been supported. Feeling isolated, I read reviews such as these and discov...ered situations like this are unfortunately common. My situation was not looking good. It was refreshing, and necessary, to have someone that could approach things from a non-influenced point of view and provide an honest assessment. If you take Eric on it will feel good to have a professional in your corner and you need it. Eric proved to be an expert in both legal and administrative matters, as well as in the detailed processes every step of the way. He knows units and leaders within the Marine Corps, as well as the politics that drive command decision making. Eric will be straight forward and tell you your options and most likely outcomes. He will demonstrate his detailed understanding of the system when he provides his recommendations on how to handle your situation. I assure you he will have an understanding you do not possess. When you combine your knowledge of the situation with his expertise he will generate options that to your surprise may very well reverse your current likely outcomes. That is exactly what happened with my situation. Eric is relentless in your cause, supportive, personable, and no nonsense. If you care about your career or reputation Eric is the way to go. True professional.
