FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 23, 2010 CONTACT: Lynne Schreiber (248) 376-0406, [email protected] FRANKLIN, Mich. – Just days before the Barry Levinson movie “You Don’t Know Jack” debuts on HBO (April 24th at 9 p.m. and April 25th at 2:45 a.m.), nationally known attorney Geoffrey Fieger spoke with Scott Weinberg on the CBS Radio Sunday morning legal show, Weinberg on the Law. “I advise all young lawyers that if their desire in life is to make a lot of money, then they’re in the wrong profession,” said Fieger last Sunday. “They won’t be happy.

(The mp3 is available upon request.) “It was an honor and privilege to connect with one of our nation’s greatest lawyers,” says Weinberg. “And we are so lucky to have Fieger Law in our own backyard.
