Michael Burg is one of those individuals. For thirty years he has shown up in courtrooms from New York to Los Angeles with one goal in mind--Justice. This book gives you a look behind those stories.

He's always prepared. He knows his material; he's very bright; he's very dogged and yet cooperative with opposing counsel. He is also extremely cooperative with the court and well respected by fellow attorneys on the plaintiff's side. His leadership was extremely important in resolving about 2,000 to 2,500 cases. He played a role in coordinating state courts and the ultimate resolution of the cases by settlement.
--The Honorable David Katz, U. S. District Court judge for the Northern District of Ohio
