Since 1996, Patrick Eidson has served as the premier legal anchor for the Southwestern Judicial Circuit. Located in the heart of downtown Leesburg, directly across from the Lee County Courthouse, our firm was founded on a singular principle: that every citizen in Southwest Georgia deserves a "DAWG" in their corner—a relentless, trial-tested advocate who understands the law as deeply as he knows the community.
We operate with the intellectual rigor of scholars and the heart of a neighbor. Whether we are fighting for the rights of the injured, defending the future of the accused, or guiding a family through a difficult transition, our mission is to provide an open door, a listening ear, and a powerful voice. Grounded in faith and proven by three decades of success, we stand as a beacon of stability for SOWEGA.

I felt like someone was there for me not just as legal representation, but as someone who genuinely cared about my case and my family."
HEATHER NOEL
"I 100% recommend this office for any legal needs. Especially if those needs involve anything with custody. They fight for what the child needs/deserves rather than only going after what they think they can “win” in court. Every thing they do is always in the best interest of the child/children."
KIMBERLY POTTER
