Helpful, Professional, Winning

I had an exceptional experience working with David Kotwicki on an employment matter. He jumped in quickly, understood the situation right away, and handled every aspect of the case with confidence and professionalism. What started as a very stressful situation—with the possibility of me owing my form...er employer thousands of dollars—ended with the complete elimination of that payment and a significant settlement in my favor. David managed all communications and negotiations seamlessly, keeping me informed at every step and relieving an incredible amount of stress in the process. He was straightforward, easy to understand, and very fair in his pricing. The outcome far exceeded my expectations, and the return on investment was truly remarkable. I genuinely enjoyed working with David and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking an employment lawyer. His expertise, responsiveness, and results speak for themselves.

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.
