I have over 35 years of experience in civil litigation, arbitration, and mediation. Our firm's focus is on fiduciary litigation - representing individuals, trustees, executors, and business owners involved in disputes concerning wills, trusts, guardianships, investments, closely-held businesses, and partnerships. I have a particular expertise in representing investors harmed by the misconduct of their stockbroker, investment advisor, insurance agent, or other trusted advisor claiming to have the expertise to act as a financial advisor. I handle court and arbitration cases across a broad range of fiduciary misconduct, including issues arising from the actions (or inaction) of executors, trustees, partners, and those offering investment advice. In the securities area, I have been involved in cases arising from Ponzi schemes, sales unsuitable annuities and life insurance products, failed or inappropriate Private Placements, unsuitable Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), failure to diversify, excessive trading (churning), unauthorized trading, unsuitable recommendations, and the sale of unregistered securities.I publish and lecture on securities litigation and arbitration, including articles in the Georgia Bar Journal, the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the Daily Report (an ALM publication), and the Public Investors Arbitration Bar (PIABA) Journal. I have been interviewed by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, quoted by The Wall Street Journal, and been a guest commentator on “Money Matters,” WSB Radio, Atlanta, Georgia; “On The Money,” WXEL 90.7FM, South Florida National Public Radio, Palm Beach, Florida; and WPBA TV, Atlanta, Georgia.I am also the Editor of Georgia Business Litigation, a one-volume, comprehensive guide to subjects business litigators often encounter in their practices. http://www.lawcatalog.com/productdetail/18007/georgia-business-litigation For more information, please contact me at rport@gadisputes.com or (404) 892-9797.
