Carey Miller focuses his practice on litigation, regulatory disputes, campaign and election law, and government affairs. He joined the Robbins Firm, and its affiliate Robbins Government Relations, LLC, in January 2019.

Since joining the firm, Carey has represented clients in State and Federal trial and appellate courts.  In litigation matters, Carey has represented private and governmental clients in matters involving common law and constitutional torts, contractual disputes, and administrative appeals. Carey has also defended clients against State and Federal regulatory investigations, and advises numerous political committees and candidates, including in matters before the Federal Elections Commission and Georgia Government Transparency & Campaign Finance Commission.

Prior to joining the firm, Carey served as Executive Counsel to Governor Nathan Deal where he oversaw all legal matters connected to the executive branch of state government, working with all state agencies in managing and resolving such issues. In this role, Carey was also the chief liaison to the Judiciary and advised the Governor on judicial appointments to the state’s appellate and trial courts, and legislative and policy matters related to the state’s legal environment. During his time with Governor Deal, Carey played an integral role in managing Georgia’s interests in the tri-state water dispute and continues to advise the State on such matters. Carey also served as co-Chair of the Georgia Council on Criminal Justice Reform with Supreme Court Justice Michael Boggs, and on Governor Deal’s Court Reform Council with Attorney General Chris Carr. Recommendations from both groups led to legislation overhauling the State’s Administrative Procedure Act, amending the Georgia Constitution to create the State-wide Business Court, and reducing Georgia’s prison population while also reducing crime and recidivism.

A “Double Dawg” graduate of the University of Georgia, Carey earned his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Georgia School of Law. While in law school, Carey was President of the Student Bar Association, Senior Managing Editor of the Georgia Journal of International and Comparative Law, and a pupil in the Lumpkin Inn of Court. Carey worked with the Honorable Richard W. Story in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia as a judicial intern, served on the Moot Court Executive Board, competed in the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Competition, and participated in the school’s appellate litigation clinic, filing briefs in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.

Carey remains actively involved with the Blue Key Honor Society at the University of Georgia, serves on the executive board of the Drew Valley Civic Association, and is a 2019 graduate of Leadership Georgia.
