Meet Our Dedicated Volunteer

Debbie is a dedicated volunteer at Time Served, supporting the team with both development and client work.

​

Debbie earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, magna cum laude, from Tulane University before going on to receive her law degree from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law. She began her legal career practicing corporate and securities law at Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg in Chicago, Illinois, and later at DeNune & Killam in Toledo, Ohio.

​

After stepping back from her career to raise her family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Debbie remained committed to public service, volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and advocating for children in the foster care system.

 

Her commitment to ethical and compassionate service led her to pursue a Master’s degree in Bioethics from the Medical College of Wisconsin, after which she founded Kasle Planning, a firm focused on medical ethics and advance health care planning.

​

In 2017, Debbie returned to law with a renewed focus on social justice. She served as a volunteer staff attorney with the Milwaukee Justice Center, providing legal support to low-income, unrepresented litigants. She also worked as a mediator with Mediate Milwaukee, helping landlords and tenants resolve disputes.

 

Committed to supporting immigrant families, Debbie participated in the Dilley Pro Bono Project, assisting immigrant mothers and children at the U.S. border with their asylum cases. Most recently, she has volunteered with Root & Rebound, where she provided legal advice to individuals impacted by the prison system.
