Steer clear of this attorney at all costs. My experience with David Kotwicki was absolutely disappointing, anxiety inducing and maddening. This guy took almost an entire month to produce a demand letter that I basically had already written for him. I had everything documented in great detail with screenshots etc. He essentially changed the letter to the third person and copied and pasted legal jargon. Despite the small amount of work this project demanded, he came up with every excuse in the book to continue to put me off. Excuses include and are not limited to: issues at his wife's office, his son's soccer game, his daughter's prom, sickness throughout the family, gastrointestinal issues, a headache etc...He kept giving me deadlines and pushing back citing any number of those excuses. He never even produced a letter for me to review until AFTER I got my male friend involved who called him out for dragging his feet. Then, magically he had a couple pages done...If that weren't enough, he kept bringing up the fact that he wanted to do the job on a contingent basis SEVERAL TIMES rather than hourly which is what we agreed to on our first phone consult. So unprofessional. It became very clear that he did not want to prioritize my case since he knew he wouldn't get paid as much hourly as he would contingent. When he realized what my payout was going to be, he decided to nickel and dime me for every single text message sent. It's my opinion that he VASTLY padded his hours. $6200 is simply insane for a normal demand letter and negotiation. There were no extenuating circumstances and my case was very straightforward. Yet, he insisted on overcomplicating it and dragging it out to continue to bill me. In the end, I requested that my severance be paid via direct deposit. He went OVER MY HEAD and arranged to intercept my money via paper check instead. At that point, I had had ENOUGH. This guy caused me an intense amount of undue pain, suffering and anxiety in an already stressful situation. On top of it, he tried to rob me blind. How nice when I'm literally pregnant and unemployed. Avoid this guy at all costs unless you love hearing about someone's gastrointestinal issues while they blow you off and you overpay them. read more
