The expansion will include a television studio, from which firm principal Geoffrey Fieger can make television appearances.
Fieger has taken on numerous high-profile cases in and around the Detroit area over the past dozen years. He first gained widespread fame for his legal defense work for Jack Kevorkian, an assisted suicide advocate. Fieger successfully defended Kevorkian in several cases before Kevorkian supplied a tape of an assisted suicide to news program "60 Minutes." Kevorkian is serving a prison term for his role in that death.
In 1998, Fieger was the Democratic nominee for Michigan governor; he lost that race to incumbent Gov. John Engler.
The firm currently employs 15 attorneys and 35 support workers. It plans to hire another five lawyers and 15 more support personnel. The expansion is the fifth since the firm was started by Fieger's father, Bernard, in 1950.
