 * You do realize that he illegally funneled money into political campaigns and attempted to blackmail the attorney general...right?

 * Careful, say the wrong thing and his firm will sue you

POV tag
Fieger is a controversial, and oft-reversed, attorney, and the current version of the article gives no indication of it. -- TedFrank 23:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * So find some stuff to put in, cite it, and add it in. Stusutcliffe (talk) 23:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I spent a little time today cleaning the article up - I added an infobox, put things in a more logical order, formatted it a bit better, and tried to find language that conveyed both Fieger's strengths and weaknesses. He's had a couple of notable professional successes, but he's also prone to shooting off his mouth and hitting himself in the foot (to mix a metaphor). In short he's neither a wizard nor a charlatan and and I think the balance is pretty fairly captured now. Seeing the history here of the POV tag, it's proper to remove it, and I've done so.

Assertions
There is a section that an assertion in the section on what he said "that his opponent John Engler was the product of barnyard miscegenation;" The link to the Michigan Review is gone and it is repeated in the Washington Post without citation. Can we take this as a case of someone saying something like "a cross between a jackass and a dumb ass" or somesuch other, ill-chosen but not defamatory speech? Unless he said something specifically vulgar and offensive (that is citable) I am deleting this one. Petropetro (talk) 06:17, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I found the link at archive.org and am restoring the text. JohnInDC (talk) 12:23, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for restoring it, turns out it was a direct quote according to the link. Hmm, I thought Feiger was usually snappier and cleverer than that. Now I'm wanting to go into Lexis-Nexis and see what the context was. (Maybe later today?) Petropetro (talk) 13:44, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
