About Meredith J.
Meredith J. Carter earned her Bachelor of Arts at Auburn University in 1999 and a Juris Doctor from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in 2003. Her academic background combined a broad undergraduate education with three years of legal training in Alabama. The curriculum and clinics at Cumberland grounded her in litigation and client advocacy.
After completing law school, she began practicing in the Southeast and built experience across state and federal dockets. She is admitted to practice in Georgia and Alabama, and in several federal courts, including the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, the Northern District of Georgia, and the Middle District of Georgia. She is also authorized to appear before Georgia Superior Courts. That mix of state and federal admission shapes much of her courtroom work.
Her professional affiliations reflect the areas where she spends most of her time. She holds membership in the National Employment Lawyers Association — Georgia, the American Bar Association, the Georgia Bar Association, the Atlanta Bar Association, and the Alabama Bar Association. Those memberships signal ongoing engagement with developments in employment law and broader trial practice. She attends association programs and remains connected to colleagues across both states.
In practice she handles employment-related matters and civil litigation for clients in state and federal venues. Her courtroom practice includes hearings and trials, as well as pretrial motions and settlement negotiations. She represents clients on matters that arise under state statutes and federal law, relying on her admissions to litigate in multiple districts.
She works from M. CARTER LAW LLC, where she manages client matters and oversees case strategy. At the firm she balances litigation tasks with client counseling and case preparation. The office handles filings, discovery, and courtroom appearances in Georgia and Alabama courts.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing cases and direct in court. Her background in both states and admission to several federal courts gives clients a range of options when disputes cross state lines or involve federal claims. She continues to participate in bar and professional organizations while practicing at M. CARTER LAW LLC.
She currently practices at M. CARTER LAW LLC handling employment and civil litigation matters in state and federal courts.
