A Just Cause: A True Story of Courage, Hope, & the Integrity of the American Dream

An amazing story of tenacity and godliness, although not a particularly religious approach, certainly one of faith. I was captivated to the end and thankful that there are people who will take a stand for what is right.

I bought this book on the recommendation of one of the parties being written about.It is the story of how one man did something for all the right reasons and in the end learns No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.If you are considering going forward with a qui tam, this book is a must read so that you are fully informed.If you are a prosecutor, qui tam attorney or law enforcement that deal with qui tams, please read this book. It reminds you of the impact these acts have on the relator and more importantly, their family.My only ctiticism is that some parts of the story are very repetitive.

He is a personal friend. I knew he went through much, but the full depth of his ordeal was unknown by me. Now I know.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Chicagoland Fraud Conference and met Jim Holzrichter and his wife, Mary. What an amazing and inspiring couple. I was unaware of the extent of his story. I devoured the book and the whole time just kept shaking my head. Such immense strength and integrity. I can't believe what he and his family went through. All I can think about is how so many people would never have done what Jim did. I consider myself extremely lucky and fortunate to have spent time with Jim and Mary. They are true American heroes. Thank you Jim for not only being a whistleblower but writing about your experience.

This book starts out slow but it gets better as the chapters move on. It contains some pretty amazing and unbelievable narrative. I give Mr. Holzrichter credit for doing the right thing, even though his life has changed considerably as a result of whistleblowing. As I read the book, I kept wondering if I would possess the courage to do what Holzricher did. All in all, a good read.

This was a great education in the overwhelming journey of the whistleblower. It makes you really feel for what this familywent through.

A very timely story, given recent "whistle blowers". Employees who observe "problems" need to be careful when confronting their employeers -- perhaps, with a lawyer in attendance. I wonder if this would have exploded in the way described if he had protected himself. An interesting read
