He was a noted attorney, who took on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and the Ku Klux Klan in the courts …
He was modest about his contributions as an attorney, but one former colleague said he was “the best of the profession” who brought to the law “sensitivity, intuition, passion, compassion” and scholarship and who infused “the law with such creativity that it is astounding.” …
He fought for United Sates citizens in Puerto Rico seeking Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security benefit parity. He successfully took on the Austrian government and industry in a Nazi-era reparations fight …
In addition to his wife, Maris, he is survived by his son Jordan Feinstein and daughter in-law Abigail Clyne, his daughter Sydney Kriegsman and son-in-law David Kriegsman, and his daughter Lindsey Feinstein and her partner Dylan Young. …
