VERY Helpful!

My employer made a probably illegal request and when I refused they retaliated. David was able to stop this and get me back into my job. His assistant Michelle was extremely easy to work with and walked you through the steps and was always available and friendly. I’m positive that I have my job stil...l due to this team!

Above and Beyond service!

Words can't describe the way David handled my case. From the moment I made contact with him, it just felt right. He provided information and guidance when I felt lost and worried. He is knowledgeable, courteous and went above and beyond to get my matter resolved as quickly as possible. He is effi...cient, honest and best of all non judgmental which is key to a successful case. Awesome work David!

Employment Discrimination Case

I hired David Nowakowski to help out with a pretty complex employment discrimination case. He is smart, knowledgeable, caring and awesome to work with. He successfully negotiated settlement that was reasonable without going to the court, which I couldn’t afford. His calm and empathetic demeanor of...fered emotional succor to myself in the most difficult time of my life. Thank you David and your kind team.

David and his staff were very kind and helpful in an unfortunate situation. David was able to get some justice for an employment situation that should have never happened. I am pleased with the outcome and his honesty. I am very happy with his expertise, advise and actions on my situation. I reco...mmend him wholeheartedly!

Laid off from my job

I contacted David because I was laid off from my job and felt the termination might have been age discrimination associated. David was very professional but also very approachable and personable. I was told that his fees for an hour phone consultation was $300 but due to my dire financial situation h...e only charged me $150. We also traded several emails and he never charged me for his time. David truly cares about his clients and I really appreciated that he didn't nickle and dime me each time we corresponded. He provided me with several pathways I could take to handle my situation and never pressured me to make a decision. In the end I decided not to pursue a suit against my company but I can definitely confirm that David is a very competent attorney that shows compassion towards his clients.
