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.

Excellent Results

I needed David's representation on very short notice. He quickly assessed my situation and sent a quick and effective message to opposing counsel that resulted in a far better outcome than I could have expected. Moreover, he was on top of the case on a minute-to-minute basis, reaching out with phone ...calls and texts to keep me up-to-date on developments. If you need quick, aggressive action, definitely call David.

Sexual Harassment Case

I hired David to assist me with an employment / sexual harassment case and it recently settled in my favor. David did an excellent and thorough job and was fair and compassionate throughout the entire process. It was a long, emotional process but David communicated with me on a regular basis and was ...always available and easily accessible for questions and consult. I would highly recommend David and plan to refer him to anyone who might be able to use his services in the future as well.

Whistleblower Lawsuit

I found David Kotwicki under "Labor Law" in the yellow pages. He represented me in a whistleblower's lawsuit against a major oil field services corporation you had laid me off after I discovered and reported a $1,000,000 embezzlement by my manager and others. David was extremely focused, articulate..., and aggressive during the trial. He prevailed in convincing fashion.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
