He has won more multimillion-dollar awards than any other attorney in the country, including his very first trial in 1980.

Fieger has won record awards in Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and Indiana, and many of his trials have generated national attention and set important legal precedents.

Fieger was the Democratic Party nominee for Governor of the State of Michigan in 1998, and the Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University recently named its school for the education of trial lawyers the Geoffrey Fieger Trial Practice Institute.

Fieger earned two academic degrees from the University of Michigan (B.A.-1974, M.A.-1976) and his law degree from the Detroit College of Law-Michigan State University (J.D.-1979). He is a member of the Michigan and Florida Bar Associations.
