Kiesnowski represented his brother-in-law during an interview with law enforcement following a domestic violence incident, which violates the portion of the code of judicial conduct that prohibits legal representation of any kind, and he also attacked the character of his brother-in-law's girlfriend in an effort to use his position to influence the investigation. Therefore, because he has already retired following a previous disciplinary investigation, he will be publicly censured and incur the costs of the investigation.
