Felgoise is married and has two daughters in their early 20s.
In an interview from August with Authority Magazine, Felgoise said that he had originally planned to pen a memoir about his legal career but realized that people seem to be more interested in reading about fictional characters, so he set out to create a book, with the help of co-author David Tabatsky, that would be inspired by his real-life scenarios in the courtroom.
Details about Felgoise's long legal career were also offered in this interview he did with the legal news publication Pennrecord.com.
An online description says that the book series takes readers inside the world of class-action litigation, and follows the story of a young, ambitious lawyer from Philadelphia who is "initiated into an inconceivable world of wealth and power, like nothing he ever imagined."
"What could be more entertaining than watching filthy rich lawyers face the consequences of their unbridled hubris and corruption?" the description reads.
The book is also highlighted on social media and has its own Facebook page.
The book was most recently listed as the Number One Dark Comedy on Amazon.
