Class Action Against Lawyer

Five people have filed a class action lawsuit against a Marietta lawyer, claiming he defrauded them of millions of dollars in an elaborate Ponzi scheme.

Last month, Robert Price Copeland pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Atlanta to one count of wire fraud. The suit also names five financial planners and five businesses.

Prosecutors say Copeland’s five-year scam defrauded more than 125 people out of $40 million, including some senior citizens who gave him their life savings.
