I was looking for attorney to represent me in a whistleblowers suit in 2000, and fortunately found David in the Yellow Pages primarily because he listed "Labor" as one of the areas in which he practiced. At that time David was relatively new to the profession, yet provided an incredible service going up against the seasoned attorney my previous employers (a national Oil & Gas industry corporation) had hired. The trial had been scheduled for four days, but concluded in three. An unanimous verdict ruled in our favor. I would hire him again in a heart beat. read more

Mr. Kotwicki kept us up to date and treated us with kindness and respect through a lengthy, complicated wrongful termination suit. If I could give him ten stars I would. He knows employment law inside and out. If you have him in your corner, count yourself lucky! Finally representation worth the cost. read more

I hired David Kotwicki to advise me on a severance package and feel he provided first-class support to me throughout the entire process. He demonstrated strong subject-matter knowledge and explained legal precedents which were potentially applicable to my situation. He was entirely compassionate and understanding in reviewing the options with me and his advice helped me to confidently make my final decision on the matter. I was very happy to have his support in this difficult situation. read more

Mr. Kotwicki was highly referred to me by a mutually respected friend. Both my husband and I met with him approximately 1 year prior to retaining legal representation. Please note that this was my own decision to hold off on utilizing his professional representation. As my unspoken former employer had put me through "hell" after enduring a wrongful termination. All while my husband was in the ICU and 2 mins away from dying. I personally reached back out to Mr. Kotwicki to represent me in an EEOC wrongful termination negotiation settlement. As no other attorney would take my case. Rather, they advised me from their legal expertise that I didn't have a case. A case that I knew within my heart that my ADA Federal rights violated and received above mentioned wrongful termination. Despite not retaining Mr. Kotwicki from the beginning, he remained professional and willing to represent me when I no longer could during the EEOC settlement negotiations. As unspoken employer or any employer will try to pay as little as possible once you've proven your case/they were found at fault. Mr. Kotwicki was honored to represent me and in overseeing a fair and favorable outcome. Mr. Kotwicki is very trusting, honest, upfront and only charged me exactly what was disclosed to me and agreed upon. Which is included in the attorney client agreement to sign and copy received. Please know when Mr. Kotwicki takes on your case, there are no hidden agendas or undisclosed fees. He is very thorough and will oversee and follow-up on your case to the end. To include the proper settlement achieved and received based on individuals case/monetary dispersement. He helped me in a way no other no other attorney would do. Highly recommend Mr. Kotwicki, Attorney for any employment discrimination, wrongful termination or EEOC representation. read more

Steer clear of this attorney at all costs. My experience with David Kotwicki was absolutely disappointing, anxiety inducing and maddening. This guy took almost an entire month to produce a demand letter that I basically had already written for him. I had everything documented in great detail with screenshots etc. He essentially changed the letter to the third person and copied and pasted legal jargon. Despite the small amount of work this project demanded, he came up with every excuse in the book to continue to put me off. Excuses include and are not limited to: issues at his wife's office, his son's soccer game, his daughter's prom, sickness throughout the family, gastrointestinal issues, a headache etc...He kept giving me deadlines and pushing back citing any number of those excuses. He never even produced a letter for me to review until AFTER I got my male friend involved who called him out for dragging his feet. Then, magically he had a couple pages done...If that weren't enough, he kept bringing up the fact that he wanted to do the job on a contingent basis SEVERAL TIMES rather than hourly which is what we agreed to on our first phone consult. So unprofessional. It became very clear that he did not want to prioritize my case since he knew he wouldn't get paid as much hourly as he would contingent. When he realized what my payout was going to be, he decided to nickel and dime me for every single text message sent. It's my opinion that he VASTLY padded his hours. $6200 is simply insane for a normal demand letter and negotiation. There were no extenuating circumstances and my case was very straightforward. Yet, he insisted on overcomplicating it and dragging it out to continue to bill me. In the end, I requested that my severance be paid via direct deposit. He went OVER MY HEAD and arranged to intercept my money via paper check instead. At that point, I had had ENOUGH. This guy caused me an intense amount of undue pain, suffering and anxiety in an already stressful situation. On top of it, he tried to rob me blind. How nice when I'm literally pregnant and unemployed. Avoid this guy at all costs unless you love hearing about someone's gastrointestinal issues while they blow you off and you overpay them. read more

Terrible! Do Not Hire! Hired him May 2019 and he has canceled or had to reschedule the majority of my appointments! I wrote a negative review on him in December 2019 due to his lack of progress and apparently he received the review and called me immediately asking that I remove it and he would work aggressively with me to have a positive outcome on my case. I removed it as he asked. Here we are two months later, February 2020 and since December he has now canceled three more appointments on me and it's two months later! This guy always calls canceling with personal issues of being sick ,child care problems ,home problems something. It's not my problem what personal issues he is having for the past NINE months, I hired him and had minimal results! He has had other negative reviews on other sites that I read. But looking back now those are all removed as well. I'm not sure how he gets people to remove the reviews but if you notice he has all five star reviews. My opinion he is not 5 star material. Take my word I would not be writing this unless there was negative results about this gentleman. He is NOT an attorney you would want to hire! My opinion, freedom of speech.....Avoid David Kotwickii! read more
