Excellent Attorney

Tom is an excellent attorney and armed forces veteran. He excels in practice and is well versed in a wide variety of areas of law. Especially, DUI/OVI defense. As one of his peers, I fully endorse Tom and highly recommend calling him if you are ever in need of legal assistance after being cited for... OVI.

Posted by Jack | October 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Excellent OVI Attorney.

We were very impressed with Mr. Kopacz's immediate response to our situation (in less than 24 hours on a weekend). He demonstrated a genuine interest in our sons legal matter. He described the process going forward and explained all possible scenarios that could be encountered. He was thorough and h...andled all the complexities of the case professionally. We were very pleased with the end result. He was able to work with the legal entities involved to protect a college education (U of D). He was also successful in having all charges (OVI, speed, and failure to control) reduced. The legal fees we were charged were fair and consistent with what he predicted. We were fortunate to have met and worked with him. We would whole heartily endorse Mr. Kopacz for anyone in need of legal assistance.

"Tom Kopacz has co-counseled many cases with me. I have also watched him in the Courtroom. Tom loves to litigate! He doesn't back down from police, prosecutors or opposing counsel. Perhaps that strong trait comes from his prior career in the Marines. It is with pleasure that I wholeheartedly endorse Tom Kopacz! He will develop an aggressive case plan and execute it."
