Knowledgeable Advisement on Severance Package

I hired David Kotwicki to advise me on a severance package which had been presented to me by a large corporation and based on my experience in working with Dave, I would highly recommend him for this field of work. In addition to his strong subject knowledge, I also found Dave to be compassionate an...d understanding in reviewing the topic with me. He was quick to respond and explained the legal terms such that I fully understood the options and decisions that I needed to make.

Supportive

David was responsive from the initial call and consultation. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, asking pertinent questions and it was apparent that he was experienced in my situation. I received updates when requested and he was supportive when I was anxious throughout the pr...ocess, how opposing counsel would respond, etc. I contacted multiple attorneys regarding my case and I ultimately selected him because he could both review the legal document I was presented and negotiate an improved agreement, but if necessary, he would be able to litigate the issue in court as well.

Forever grateful I had David Kotwicki by my side

I filed a disability discrimination with EEOC and EEOC schedule a Fact Finding Conference. I didn't know where to turn and was overwhelmed trying to address the matter myself. I searched and searched for a lawyer but either they would not help me or they were too expensive. I finally found David Kotw...icki. David immediately saw what was happening to me was unlawful, David was empathetic, compassionate, and supportive. From my first meeting with Mr. Kotwicki I knew I could trust him, he was attentive and concerned about me as a person as well as my case. Mr. Kotwicki was able to negotiated a monetary settlement for me and negotiated other benefits for me such as health insurance. If I went to the EEOC's Fact Finding Conference without Mr. Kotwicki I would of walked out of there with absolutely nothing, not even a job. I would definitely recommend David Kotwicki to anyone and everyone. I was 100% satisfied with Mr. Kotwicki service and advocacy. When you meet David Kotwicki you will see immediately that he's knowledgeable and an experienced lawyer. Mr. Kotwicki will work to protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.

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.

Fearless and Fair

I highly recommend Mr. Kotwicki for any legal needs in employment law. Mr. Kotwicki showed compassion and competence when he represented our interests. He is not afraid to go up against the "big guns"...without him we wouldn't have had a prayer.
