As co-chair of Holland & Knight's Consumer Protection Defense and Compliance Team, DiResta has more than four decades of experience in government enforcement defense, crisis management, complex litigation, governance compliance, and regulatory strategy. He assists businesses and executives in governmental investigations and litigation pursued by federal agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Department of Justice, as well as in state enforcement proceedings involving state attorneys general.

Before entering private practice, DiResta held senior government roles, including director of the Federal Trade Commission's Southeast Regional Office, where he oversaw enforcement, investigative, and outreach activities. Under his leadership, the office received the John Marshall Award from the U.S. Attorney General. DiResta also served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta, prosecuting telemarketing fraud and financial crimes. He initiated and coordinated a consumer protection law enforcement sweep involving the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and 15 state attorneys general, resulting in more than 25 lawsuits and proceedings nationwide.

In private practice, DiResta has defended a broad range of clients across industries, including financial services, healthcare, media, hospitality, food and beverage, real estate, transportation, and technology.

DiResta has also served as general counsel and director of regulatory affairs for the Word of Mouth Marketing Association and is frequently quoted in the media on topics such as Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigations and First Amendment rights.

DiResta is the host of "Clearly Conspicuous," a podcast series produced by Holland & Knight, where he examines regulatory issues including Federal Trade Commission enforcement priorities, social media advertising compliance, and the intersection of artificial intelligence and consumer protection law. He is widely published in commercial litigation, Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau matters, governmental investigations, consumer protection, and antitrust law. His articles have been cited by courts and law review publications, including by the U.S. Supreme Court in "Eastman Kodak Co. v. Image Technical Services, Inc." DiResta is a frequent speaker and panelist at conferences, has chaired consumer protection summits, and has interviewed senior officials at the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on enforcement initiatives, rulemaking, and supervisory examinations.

DiResta has received honors including recognition in The Best Lawyers in America, designation as a Regulatory Trailblazer and Pioneer by National Law Journal, and acknowledgment as a Top Author by JD Supra for thought leadership in compliance management. He received the Sunshine Award from the Society of Professional Journalists for his work in the Georgia Supreme Court involving media access to governmental proceedings and documents.
