These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“Mr. Kopp is a former Cook County Assistant State's Attorney who recently started his own practice in Geneva, Illinois. John now practices criminal defense work, but his knowledge of the law and procedure is evident from his time as an ASA. He does an excellent job representing his clients and is not afraid to fight for justice. I have, and continue, to recommend him to individuals who could benefit from his assistance.”
