About Fieger Law

Over 70 Years of Winning the Largest Verdicts in America

It’s a rare thing when a law firm becomes a part of history. It’s even rarer when a trial lawyer consistently plays a role on the national stage again and again, helping people live safer and freer lives

NATIONALLY OBSERVED LAWSUITS

Led by Geoffrey Fieger, renowned for winning injury verdicts and his work with suicide-doctor Jack Kevorkian, the Fieger Law firm has spent half a century securing the largest personal injury and medical malpractice verdicts in some of the most notable cases in U.S. history. 

Our firm won the largest verdict in Michigan history and one of the largest nationwide: $144 million for a little girl who was permanently brain-damaged at birth. We aren’t afraid of anyone.

Achieving justice for those who can’t fight for themselves is the everyday mantra at Fieger Law.

Our work to help victims in the Flint Water Crisis is setting important legal precedents, paving the way for others to get the support and repayment they need.

We hold police officers and public servants accountable for misconduct to ensure that our legal system addresses people of all races equally.

We don’t back down. We will fight for you.

OUR FOUNDING VISION

Our firm was founded by Bernard Fieger, the father of Lead Attorney Geoffrey Fieger, with a single mission:

“As advocates for the people, it’s important to fight for a cause… we must fight for the rights of victims and champion the underdog against corporate power and greed.”

With a client history that includes children unjustly accused of murder, babies permanently injured by negligent hospitals, communities poisoned by reckless environmental practices, and countless other forms of injustice, our firm continues to be a champion for the underdog.

If you’re facing impossible odds against a powerful opponent, whether it’s an insurance company, a manufacturer or the local police department, Fieger Law will fight for you.
