Available from the American Bar Association, NEVER ENOUGH: ONE
LAWYER'S TRUE STORY OF HOW HE GAMBLED HIS CAREER AWAY written by
Michael J. Burke.
"When Michael
Burke read excerpts from his book to members of the Washtenaw County
Bar Association, the attorneys were riveted by his compelling story
of the hometown boy who became one of the most successful attorneys
in town only to lose it all to an ever-increasing addiction to gambling.
In Never Enough, Michael shares with great passion and insight his
fascinating transformation from loving husband and father to disgraced
prison inmate. Remarkably, you'll find yourself rooting for a man
who let his family and friends down through deceit and the theft
of over a million dollars from the clients who entrusted him with
their affairs. But that's what redemption is about: the recognition
of wrongs committed, the drive to make things right for the aggrieved,
and the devotion to preventing others from succumbing to the same
demons that led to one's downfall. Michael will receive no income
from Never Enough until all his victims are made whole. I am hopeful
that those who read his story will share it with others, thereby
assisting Michael in his mission of warning others about the dangers
of casino gambling. I heartily recommend this book for every lawyer
in America and to anyone whose life is being sadly touched by a
loved one undergoing an addiction of any kind."
