Criminal Defense Law Firm in Lawrenceville
Strategic Criminal Defense Firm Serving Gwinnett, Barrow, & DeKalb Counties
The criminal justice system is built on the presumption of innocence, but that principle can feel hollow when you are facing the full weight of state prosecution. From the moment of arrest, the government begins assembling its case against you, often relying on chemical testing, forensic reports, and complex scientific data to drive its narrative. How effectively that evidence can be challenged often determines the outcome of the case and your future.
patlowderlaw is a premier criminal defense law firm in Lawrenceville serving clients throughout Gwinnett County and beyond. Attorney Patrick Lowder brings an uncommon combination of credentials to every case: a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, a Juris Doctor, and status as a registered United States patent attorney. This foundation in both science and law allows our firm to examine the state's forensic evidence from the inside out, a level of scrutiny most attorneys are not equipped to perform.
You don't have to face this alone. Call patlowderlaw at (678) 341-2407 or contact us online to schedule a case consultation with an attorney at our Lawrenceville criminal defense law firm.

Challenging State Evidence with Advanced Chemistry & Legal Skill
Modern criminal prosecutions rely heavily on forensic science. Prosecutors routinely present breath tests, blood toxicology panels, drug identification assays, and digital data to juries as undeniable proof of wrongdoing.
At patlowderlaw, we know that no scientific evidence is beyond scrutiny.
Before entering the legal field, Mr. Lowder dedicated years to working as a research chemist, a corporate scientist, and a registered patent attorney. He subsequently served as a federal expert witness in major multidistrict litigation. In this role, he navigated hostile depositions from elite corporate defense counsel and drafted formal scientific declarations for billion-dollar environmental cases. This firsthand background in high-stakes scientific testimony directly shapes how our firm dismantles state-court evidence today.
Our firm's practice is deliberately focused on cases involving:
- Criminal defense
- Drug crimes
- DUI defense
- Appeals
- Post-conviction relief

Scientific Precision & Strategic Defense in Northeast Georgia
When prosecutors present a blood alcohol analysis or the results of a drug screening, a conventionally trained attorney may not know how to challenge the arresting officer's field observations. Our team, however, does this every day.
patlowderlaw examines the actual laboratory methodology. We audit calibration records, identify chain-of-custody failures, and scrutinize the precise chromatographic data the crime lab relied on to reach its conclusions.
That same rigorous precision carries over into our constitutional analysis. Mr. Lowder's background in patent law, a discipline demanding exact statutory interpretation, sharpens our firm's ability to parse search warrants, police affidavits, and criminal statutes for critical defects that other attorneys might miss entirely.
Clients from Lawrenceville, across Gwinnett County, and throughout Barrow and DeKalb Counties turn to our law firm when the stakes are high and the evidence is complex.
