"One Lawyer’s True Story
How he Gambled his Career Away"

Michael Burke, JD is the President of the Michigan Association on Problem Gambling and is on the Board of Directors for the National Council on Problem Gambling. He is in recovery from alcoholism for 40 years and recovery from gambling for 17 years. He was a lawyer in a small community in Michigan for 25 years before he was disbarred in 2001 because of embezzlement of clients’ funds to feed his gambling addiction. As a direct result of that activity he served 3 years in prison and was ordered to repay his victims the sum of 1.6 million dollars. Upon returning home from prison he wrote a book about his addictions, which has been published by the American Bar Association. The book is titled, Never Enough: One Lawyer’s True Story of How he Gambled his Career Away. Proceeds from the book go to his victims. Today he travels around the U.S. speaking about cross-addiction and compulsive gambling.
