WILL LOWREY is an attorney and animal rights advocate from Richmond, Virginia. He graduated summa cum laude with a Juris Doctor from Vermont Law School and also holds a Bachelor of Science from Virginia Commonwealth University.
After 20 years in the corporate world, Will embarked on a more fulfilling endeavor and entered law school to pursue a career in animal law. During law school, Will interned with the Animal Legal Defense Fund’s civil litigation group and the Virginia Attorney General’s animal crimes prosecution unit. In 2017, Will graduated first in his class from law school after only two and a half years, earning numerous awards and scholarships along the way.
For close to two decades, both before and after law school, Will has been actively involved in animal causes. His experiences include deployments to assist animals in disasters, the closure of roadside zoos, caring for animals from dog and cock fighting cases, community outreach for low income pet owners in areas ranging from urban neighborhoods to Native American reservations, animal rights protests, animal sheltering, public records campaigns against large institutions conducting animal research, and countless other adventures.
While Will has always been a casual writer of fiction including short stories, and poems, he recently discovered the world of self-publishing and was immediately engrossed. His first novel, “Chasing the Blue Sky,” has been regularly featured in the Top 10 animal rights books on Amazon, received acclaim from numerous blogs and review sites, and was recently contracted for audiobook production. Since then, Will has published several other books and short stories, mainly regarding the plight of animals in the world. In addition, Will is the author of the legal article “We the Pit Bull: The Fate of Pit Bulls Under the United States Constitution” published in the Lewis and Clark Animal Law Review Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2.
Will enjoys hearing from readers and welcomes anyone with thoughts or feedback on his works to share them.
