David "Slayed the Giant"

Initially, I was nervous and ignorant about the legal process with EEOC regarding a discrimination case involving my place of employment. So, I hired David to assist me with the mediation process; otherwise, I would not have succeeded with a successful outcome. David was able to negotiate my cause, a...nd WE WON! Thanks David "Beloved Anchor", your biblical name. David slayed the giant organization with a calm, steady and knowledgeable approach which landed an agreeable settlement. Thank you, David for unwavering guidance.

Terrible experience

Can’t say enough how bad my experience was with David. He made excuse after excuse to drag out the process (issues at his wife’s office, his sons soccer game, gastrointestinal issues, daughters sickness, headache etc..). It took almost an entire month for him to produce a draft for a demand letter th...at I essentially wrote for him already with my detailed account. He went against my wishes. I could go on….but needless to say, an already stressful situation was made much worse due to David’s lack of professionalism.

Labor and Employment

Mr. Kotwicki was referred to me by a reputable mutual friend. One who has the utmost confidence and trust in Mr. Kotsivki's representation. The kind of referral you hope for especially knowing they would retain Mr. Kotwicki for their own family if they ever needed to. Mr. Kotwicki believed in me, t...ook my case on in representing me and overseeing my case through to the end. I was determined to not let what happened to me in my darkest hours not go unnoticed or unspoken. Honestly, I could not have done this alone without his professional help, knowledge and his legal experience. With the unfortunate challenges/obstacles I was continuously enduring. He is by far a very trusting attorney. Trust and believe Mr. Kotwicki is the attorney and legal representation to have on your side. You will not be dissapointed and the best attorney referral I have received Heartfelt thank you. Lorena

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.
