Posted by Mark | December 11, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Excellent attorney

I recently retained David for a complex labor employment issue involving wrongful termination, harassment, bullying and age discrimination. David proved to be extremely knowledgeable and helped me navigate the process of negotiating with a corporation and their team of attorneys. David was responsiv...e, provided great guidance, communicated professionally with opposing attorneys, and helped me to a successful resolution. I would recommend David for labor employment issues.

David Kotwicki - Laywer Review

Mr. Kotwicki handled my unemployment case very effectively. My employer fired me for false reasons, then attempted to deny my unemployment. Mr. Kotwicki prepared me thoroughly & effectively for my hearing, and I won

Posted by anonymous | April 29, 2010 | Wrongful Termination

Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Kotwicki certainly is not AFRAID to correct what is illigal. I am a disabled veteran and the government terminated me. I wanted to claim discrimination, but they claimed bad conduct. I was in a very tough spot. I was offered a last chance agreement to keep my job, but I had to waive any lawsuit o...r complaint towards them. Believe me, I wanted to pursue action against them to the fullest extent of the law. Mr. Kotwicki took an entire weekend to closely analyze my case and on Monday I got my job back. Kotwicki negotiated all of the illigal aspects of the agreement out of their proposal and demanded he correct their wrongs. They backed down. Dave was not afraid. He advised me to sign his agreement, I got my position back, and my employer has truly backed down. I am impressed. Mr. Kotwicki has been able to predict their every move from his experience. Highly recommended, but you have to listen to his reasoning. Trust me, in the end, it is right. I'm not bothered now. I can work in peace

  • 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.
