Severance Agreement

I was referred to Mr. Kotwicki by another attorney. I recently was presented a severance package at a union job. He was quick at reviewing my paperwork and his fee was very reasonable.

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

My overall case involving sexual harassment from a previous healthcare employer causing me to leave my job after a short time of working there has lasted 5 years starting in 2018 when I brought the case to my attorney. It is still ongoing due to pausing the case after extensive health related issues ...between my attorney and myself. Luckily the first half of the case against the company owner was successfully settled recently. For the second half against my previous employer, we had to hire a collection attorney to settle. Overall I am pleased that part of my case has been settled recently and I can move on with my life to that extent. But I will be ecstatic once everything is resolved and I can leave this employer, the overall company and everything I lost from that time in my life behind completely. David was reliable when it came to communication after we got back in touch to finish the entire case. He was flexible with my schedule. He's shown himself to be trustworthy as well.

Excuses Non-Stop

I'm so surprised to see all five star reviews for this lawyers. Years ago I asked this man for help and he promised he would look into things for me and every week came up with a new excuse as to why he needed more time. And the excuse was always different. After nine months I just gave up because h...e kept spinning me around. If you want someone who is going to work for you and not constantly make excuses go for someone else. My work got away with what they did to me because of this guy stringing me along. Horrible lawyer.

Employment Attorney

I recently hired Mr. Kotwicki to help me with a difficult employment case, and he was knowledgeable, professional, and communicative throughout the entire process. He was able to articulate the complexities of the case in a way that I could understand, and he was always available to answer my questio...ns. He was also very thorough in his preparation and was able to anticipate potential issues that might arise. I would highly recommend him to anyone with an employment-related legal issue.
