HIGHLY RECOMMEND ATTY DAVID KOTWICKI
In which he honestly deserves more than a 5* rating.
My heartfelt thanks to Mr. Kotwicki for believing in me, for taking on my EEOC Didability Discrimination/Relatiation case. For representing me and overseeing it through to the end.
I was determined to not let what happened to me in my darkest hours go unnoticed or unspoken. Although could not have done this alone without his help with the unfortunate challenges/obstacles I was continuously enduring. Mr. Kotwicki is compassionate, empathetic, honest, trustworthy, supportive very knowlegeable in any form of Employment Law or Unemployment. With his attorney experience of approx 25 plus years in Employment Law and exp working with the EEOC he was very attentive and concerned about me and the best interest of my case. He took over negotiating a monetary settlement for me. He was highly recommended to me by a reputable friend and business women. Please whatever you do don't go alone without the proper legal representation and qualified exp of Atty David Kotwicki.
Heartfelt thank you.

I Do Not Recommend to Hire! Hired in May of 2019 is now February 2020, David Kotwicki has postponed the majority of my appointments. He seems to always be sick or has some personal issues as to why he needs to reschedule. I hired him to assist me with my ex-employer attorneys who were threatening me and made a police report with false allegations. Mr. Kotwicki felt I had a case of harassment. Mr. Kotwicki did not make contact to my ex employer attorney or police department regarding the harassment, as was in our agreement and we spoke about in the consultation, this should have been done IMMEDIATELTY. He assured me within two weeks a letter would be sent to my employer and he would contact police on my behalf. In the first four months Mr. Kotwicki did read my text messages that I alerted him of where I stood with the UIA process for collecting my unemployment pay and he prepared (the day of) for the hearing with the Administrative Law Judge. His preparation was a four pages of question and answers. Mr.Kotwicki presented this to me 45 minutes before we were to be on the call, in which he made it clear to me not to act like I'm reading off the sheet. Four pages is an awful lot to read and memorize in 45 minutes!! I feel I should have had this well before the day of the hearing to be able to read and prepare! At the hearing, my employer did not show. This was in August. Every couple weeks thereafter I contacted Mr. Kotwicki to see if he made any progress with negotiation in relation to the harassment. He always assured me he would be writing a letter to my exemployer to get process started. This never happened.
Finally in December 2019 ( 7 months after I hired him) due to his lack of progress with proceeding to contact my ex employer d/t harassment I wrote a negative review. Mr.Kotwicki seen the review and asked that I remove the review and assured me he was committed to assisting me to gain positive results. I agreed. Two more cancelations and two months later, still no progress from Mr. Kotwicki. I am so angry at myself for retaining him and paying him my hard earned cash. This man will lead you to believe he is sincere and cares about your case, but is quick to place it on the back burner. Again, this was not an isolated incident, he canceled my appointments month after month. Now NINE months since my termination and still no progress with ex employer and negotiations. My advice....DO NOT HIRE, he has no sense of urgency or he never felt there was a case to begin with!!!

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 Kotwicki. 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.

David Kotwicki recently negotiated the terms of my severance package. I was very pleased with the professional way he handled things with my best interest in mind….

David represented me against a major oil field services corporation. He prevailed over a seasoned 24-yr. (in 2001) attorney, and exceeded expectations. http://static.record-eagle.com/2002/jun/01whistl.htm

Very Impressed

My government career was at stake. I am a disabled veteran and the government tried to terminate me for reasons other than work performance. I was an exceptional performer according to them, but they did not like some of my conduct. It was difficult to find a lawyer who was not afraid to assess a case against the government. Dave Kotwicki did NOT BACK DOWN. If it means anything at all, after calling many lawyers, Mr. Kotwicki took my case on a friday afternoon while I was suspended from work. He spent his entire weekend looking through stacks of papers from my employment history and notes. On monday morning he met me at his office with the full story written up in a summary. I was very impressed. He had prepared his argument to negotiate my rights back with my employer and in the end, he WON. I have my job and the hostile work environment is gone.



The story:



I appealed the termination decision and it was reversed. I immediately made some complaints to the labor board and to my supervisors. They did nothing about my complaints. I was then presented with an unlawful last chance agreement asking me to waive my rights to any formal complaint against the government in return for my job. Mr. Kotwicki was not having that. My employer was asking me to waive all of my rights past and future against them. A very tough situation, Mr. Kotwicki was not afraid to negotiate with the government attorney. To say the least, I still have my career and my employer is afraid to even look at me. Mr. Kotwicki made a proposal to the government on my behalf that preserved my future rights to fight them if they tried to do anything in the future. I am very impressed. My work environment has improved drastically. My employer, supervisors, and co-workers treat me with respect but know that I mean business thanks to Mr. Kotwicki. I cannot thank him enough for not being afraid to fight for what is right. When the government gave me my career back, Mr. Kotwicki gave me his complete dedication to watch them from the background and make sure that they do not take my rights away in the future. I can actually work without being afraid of losing my career. Thank You! My words of advice. You may not agree with Mr. Kotwicki at first, as I wanted to just pursue a lawsuit, but Mr. Kotwicki has your best interests in mind with every word he speaks. Take it from me. I still have my job and if I ever have a problem again, I will know where to turn.
