Bio

Frederick E. Kaiser has always been interested in law and politics––from his college days as an intern for the late Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, to his law school days during which he authored a police manual, to his 26 years as managing attorney for Hartford Insurance Group, to his current position as partner at Hansen Dordell. Fred joined Hansen Dordell in 2002, specializing in personal injury, workers’ compensation, insurance defense, mediation and arbitration. He cites the firm’s enduring reputation for providing quality legal services while maintaining a civil bearing in its practice. “Everyone at Hansen Dordell is a vigorous advocate for their client, making our points without ever forgetting that we are officers of the court and must always be respectful of the people we represent, the people on the bench and our opponents,” he says.

Fred has been an adjunct professor of law at William Mitchell College of Law.

One could say Fred has always had high aspirations in law and politics. While he interned for the estimable Senator Humphrey (authoring numerous position papers for the Senator during that time), he spent part of each day operating the elevator at the U.S. Capitol building, saying, “Going up!” to dozens of Senators and members of the U.S. House of Representatives––gaining some valuable first- hand insights as to the ups and downs of politics.

Fred is an avid fisherman, both fly and hardware. His favorite fishing spots are in Alaska, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories. His favorite fish to catch are rainbow trout, brown trout, lake trout, smallmouth bass and arctic grayling. The biggest freshwater fish he ever caught––and this is no tall tale––weighed over 50 pounds, although in saltwater he has caught them even bigger. He and his wife Susan have one son, Andrew.
