Since becoming a lawyer and successfully practicing for the last four decades, Kasieta has made it his life mission to make a difference and help change the world. He shares that the best part of his job is working with the team he’s helped form at Kasieta Legal Group and interacting with the clients – many of them who are full of grace, despite their difficult circumstances.
He said, “At age 65, I often encounter lawyers who have practiced about as long as I have, and they can’t wait to retire. Not me. After 40 years as a lawyer, I can’t wait to see what the next challenge will be. I have never enjoyed practicing law more than I do now.”
In addition to practicing law, serving in other ways has also been key to Kasieta’s success, he noted At age 29, he was elected mayor and after that, served on the city council, regional planning commission, and State Elections Board. Today, he is the president of Badger Prairie Needs Network, which provides a food pantry, social services, legal representation, and other services to Dane County residents in need. By the end of this year, the volunteer-run organization will have helped more than 87,000 people.
