Attorney Information
Overview
John R. Kopp is a 2008 graduate of the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois. He attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he earned a degree in communications. He grew up in Aurora, Illinois, and attended Marmion Academy.
Mr. Kopp evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of each case he prosecuted for the Cook County State's Attorney Office. When he encountered a weakness, he placed himself in the position of the defense lawyer so that he could best prepare himself for arguing the prosecution's case.
Many of his cases involved preparing police officers for their testimony at trial. Through that process in hundreds of trials, Mr. Kopp gained a thorough grasp of police investigations, warrant executions and arrest procedures. With that knowledge, he can attack the shortfalls and errors the police made in their case against you.
Mr. Kopp is an experienced litigator who is ready to defend your rights.

Hired Attorney 2026I hired John as my attorney and he helped me through two challenging legal cases. He represented me well and I appreciated his honesty, candor, and knowledge in these matters. I would highly recommend him for legal representation.

Hired Attorney 2024John represents me in Kane County and Dupage County and I can’t say enough about this man I had 11 charges in Kane county and he got all the serious charges dismissed I had another lawyer on this case that tried to make me take 7 years John got me conditional discharge. So if your looking for a criminal defense attorney I highly recommend Mr Kopp he will work his tail off for you.

Hired Attorney 2019This was my first experience with a lawyer and I could not be more satisfied than hiring Mr. Kopp to represent me. I was looking for a smart, knowledgeable and most importantly an ethical lawyer who would represent me. I found all these vital qualities in Mr. Kopp. At every junction, he never promised that the outcome would be in my favor but he indicated that he will give his best to get a favorable judgement on my case. In the end, I was thrilled with the outcome. I am pleased recommend Mr. Kopp's services to anyone who needs a legal help for expertise outlined in his website. Also, his rates were very reasonable compare to the efforts he put to resolve my case to get a favorable result.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
