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. He listens patiently and is able to quickly sort out important details from extraneous information, and build the str...ongest case possible with the facts he has. 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. He represented me in a highly sensitive and politically charged matter and he led me to the best possible outcome. I would recommend Eric Kopka to anyone needing legal representation for military law.

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!

Retaining the services of Eric Kopka was the best decision that I could’ve made. His intimate knowledge of the military judicial system allows him to anticipate, advise and prepare for any eventuality that may occur. Eric and Freddie were no more than a phone call away for over 3 years and 2 differ...ent cases, one of which the Marine Corps decided to take to an Article 32 hearing. Thankfully, both cases were dismissed and I only have Eric and his team to thank. During the entire process the communication and updates were constant, nothing was a surprise, and most importantly they kept me calm. I highly recommend Mr. Kopka and his firm no matter how small the charges may be. Thank you Eric and Freddy for helping finish my career!

I hired Eric when facing a General Court Martial with 3 counts of aggravated assault and the possibility of up to 15 years in jail. Within a few weeks Eric had a pre-trial agreement ready for me to sign that was for NJP with all other charges dropped. He then ensured that I was retained in the Marine... Corps and that the effects of the NJP were minimal. Eric and his team are outstanding professionals of the highest caliber. They will set your mind at ease with their consistency, professionalism, confidence, and integrity. If you are facing ANY type of military charge and need representation that will help you navigate the complexities of military law, you can not find a better attorney than Eric Kopka.

We hired Mr Kopka when our enlisted son was NJPd and facing an OTH discharge. The law can be complicated for the average person, add the military component and you have some real confusion. Mr Kopka was able to break down our sons case succinctly, explains his options and give us insight. As pare...nts who are 600 miles away this was an intimidating process but both Mr Kopka and Freddie were able to put our minds at ease with their extensive knowledge and experience . We were kept in the loop every step, and any questions or concerns we had were answered immediately. Our family is indebted to Mr Kopka for our son is able to continue his honorable career with the USMC. We highly recommend Mr Kopka
