Committed Advocate
Chris Miller – Personal Injury Attorney in Georgia
I was born and raised in Hall County, GA, to two local schoolteachers in the community. Upon graduating from Johnson High School, I enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve, serving between 2000-2008. During that time, I attended Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, Georgia.
After my enlistment, I attended law school at Barry School of Law in Orlando, Florida. Shortly after returning to Georgia, I met my wonderful wife, who has given us two amazing children. When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my family.
My legal background includes prosecuting for the City of Atlanta for almost 5 years, I then joined a firm where I focused on estate planning, criminal defense, and general litigation. It was there I realized my true passion lay in helping those who had suffered harm due to no fault of their own.

Why Impact Law?
Why Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
When you experience a personal injury resulting from a car accident, a work incident, or any other cause, you may feel as if you are on your own. You have insurance companies and at-fault parties to deal with, all while trying to recover from your injuries and restore normalcy to your life. The other parties involved do not necessarily have your best interests at heart and are not likely to offer you the compensation you deserve. By working with a personal injury lawyer, you can get an experienced, objective negotiator and litigator in your corner – someone who can give you the correct legal advice and fight for your rights. Whether settling the case through mediation or taking the matter all the way to court, your personal injury lawyer will take on negligent and at-fault parties, as well as their insurance providers and legal representatives, to ensure that your rights are protected, and your recovery secured.
