Since returning to private law practice, former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes hasn't had trouble drumming up business. So why does the name of his firm appear on Atlanta billboards advertising a Florida lawyer? The Barnes Law Group handles cases for the advertised attorney, John Morgan of the Morgan & Morgan law firm of Orlando. Morgan isn't licensed to practice law in Georgia, so when he gets a call from a potential client in Georgia, he refers it to Barnes' firm. But competitors call the billboards misleading.

Since leaving office in 2003 and returning to private law practice, former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes has had little trouble drumming up business.
In January Barnes teamed up with former Attorney General Michael J. Bowers to represent two Marietta, Ga., businessmen suing PricewaterhouseCoopers. While a jury rejected the request by Barnes’ clients for $400 million, the accounting giant still had to pay $10 million for negligent misrepresentation.
