Judge Blasts Lawyer-Turned-Author on Ethics, Intellectual Honesty Over Defense of Ex-Client

January 29, 2010

Three years after publishing a book in which he criticized New York City Criminal Court judges as "belligerent" and "spoiled divas," a lawyer-turned-author has become the recipient of harsh words from the bench for his conduct in a proceeding involving a former client. David Feige left the Bronx Defenders to write "Indefensible," a chronicle of his legal career. Subtitled "One Lawyer's Journey Into the Inferno of the Criminal Justice System," the book later inspired a TV series called "Raising the Bar."
