Bob Kasieta and his group are smart, ethical, and they never quit. I can't adequately express how good these lawyers are! They recovered millions of dollars for us in a very difficult case. Kasieta Legal Group is the best!
-Jeff Vorwald, Senior Vice-President - American Trust & Savings Bank
Robert Kasieta, Bob as he likes to be called, is one of the first attorneys I have dealt with who cares more about his clients than he does for his own interests. Bob is extremely honest and forthright and tells it like it really is, as he does not hold back in telling his clients what is his opinion of their case and how he sees it working. Bob cares about the welfare of the clients and does everything possible to prevent them for experiencing further harm. Many attorneys that I have known in the past have been the typical "lawyer profile", someone who only wants to take your case to make money. Bob, and the Associates working for him, are not that way. Sure, everyone wants to make money but for Bob, doing good for his clients comes first. Bob has been extremely helpful to me during my time of need and has become a trusted and close friend.
