Mich. attorney suing state, U.S. officials
July 2, 2007

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., July 2 (UPI) Michigan attorney Geoffrey Fieger is suing both the Michigan Supreme Court and the U.S. Justice Department for alleged bias.

The Southfield attorney, who is expected to be indicted on campaign finance violations, has begun taking action against the legal bodies that may ultimately hear his case, The Detroit News said Monday.

In addition to suing four of the Michigan Supreme Court's justices, Fieger has accused the FBI of improperly gathering evidence by using U.S. Patriot Act national security letters.

The FBI's efforts are part of a federal grand jury investigation into the controversial attorney, who allegedly violated employee reimbursement rules during the 2004 John Edwards presidential campaign.

Fieger has maintained his innocence in the matter and one of his former attorneys, Richard L. Steinberg, said Fieger will likely maintain his public fight against the allegations.

"If he ever goes down -- which I don't think he will -- he'll go down swinging," Steinberg told the newspaper.

Fieger gained international fame representing assisted-suicide advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian.
