ATLANTA --- In the eight years since he was ousted as governor, Roy Barnes has taken on legal cases that kept him in the headlines and bolstered his personal wealth. They now are coming under scrutiny as the race for governor heats up.
He has championed consumer rights, challenging companies that tacked fees on gift cards and urging judges to shut down lenders that burden borrowers with heavy finance charges.
He has also defended the chairman of a power cooperative against a lawsuit filed by customers and helped fend off a lawsuit against a former federal agent convicted of leaking sensitive data.
