Boggs, Cowan & Fargione, a Watkinsville law firm led by attorneys Lucas V. Boggs, Lucas B. Cowan and Alfred E. Fargione, III, is positioning itself as a full-service litigation team for individuals and families in personal injury and family law matters across Northeast Georgia. The firm also represents families and their businesses in complex litigation and business disputes.
The significance of the firm’s structure lies in how each partner’s background addresses distinct stages of a legal dispute. Lucas B. Cowan spent several years as a trial attorney for the nation’s largest insurer, giving him firsthand knowledge of how insurance companies, adjusters and defense counsel evaluate injury cases both before and after suit is filed. That perspective is now directed on behalf of injured people throughout Georgia. “After years of working cases for the nation’s largest insurer, I know how claims get evaluated by claim adjusters and insurance defense attorneys. I know how to negotiate with the insurance company or, when necessary, take my client’s case to trial,” Cowan said.
Lucas V. Boggs focuses on complex civil and appellate litigation. He has briefed and argued appeals before the Georgia Court of Appeals and obtained rulings reversing unlawful government action against his clients. His work extends through discovery, trial and any necessary further action, meaning a client’s case can be defended beyond the trial court if needed.
Alfred E. Fargione, III has practiced as a trial attorney since 2011 and has handled hundreds of divorce, custody, legitimation and child support cases. He holds an LL.M. in Tax Law and Estate Planning from Boston University School of Law, which informs his work on high-asset divorces involving complex property and tax issues. Together, the partners’ combined trial and litigation experience gives clients a team that can manage pre-suit negotiations, trial and appeals.
The firm’s personal injury practice handles claims arising from car accidents, truck and commercial vehicle collisions, motorcycle crashes, workplace injuries, slip-and-fall incidents, dog bites, medical malpractice and wrongful death. Personal injury matters are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients do not pay unless there is a recovery. The firm’s family law practice covers contested and uncontested divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, property division, legitimation, adoption and post-judgment modifications, handled on hourly or flat fee retainers.
Boggs, Cowan & Fargione maintains its office at 1024 Twelve Oaks Drive, Suite 103, Watkinsville, Georgia, and represents clients throughout Athens-Clarke, Oconee, Walton, Barrow, Jackson, Newton, Oglethorpe, Madison, Franklin, Hart and Greene Counties. The firm offers services in English and Spanish and maintains a selective caseload so clients work directly with their attorney. Its partners have been recognized by Super Lawyers Rising Stars and The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 and are members of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association.
