Boggs, Cowan & Fargione, a Watkinsville, Georgia law firm, is positioning itself as a comprehensive legal resource for individuals and families in Northeast Georgia by combining three distinct areas of trial experience. The firm, led by attorneys Lucas V. Boggs, Lucas B. Cowan, and Alfred E. Fargione, III, handles personal injury, family law, and complex business litigation. Its approach matters because clients often face opposing counsel with specialized knowledge, and the firm's structure aims to match that expertise at every stage of a case.
Lucas B. Cowan spent several years as a trial attorney for the nation's largest insurer, giving him firsthand insight into how insurance companies, adjusters, and defense counsel evaluate injury claims before and after a lawsuit is filed. "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. That background is now used on behalf of injured people throughout Georgia, potentially leveling a playing field that often favors insurers.
The firm's personal injury practice covers car accidents, truck and commercial vehicle collisions, motorcycle crashes, workplace injuries, slip-and-fall incidents, dog bites, medical malpractice, and wrongful death. These cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients do not pay unless there is a recovery. This fee structure is significant because it lowers the financial barrier for injured individuals seeking representation.
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. 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.
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 appellate work means the firm can represent clients not only through trial but also on appeal, a critical continuity that can be crucial when a case extends beyond the trial court.
The 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. The firm offers services in English and Spanish and maintains a selective caseload so clients work directly with their attorney. Its office is located at 1024 Twelve Oaks Drive, Suite 103, Watkinsville, Georgia, and it represents clients throughout Athens-Clarke, Oconee, Walton, Barrow, Jackson, Newton, Oglethorpe, Madison, Franklin, Hart, and Greene Counties. The combination of insurer-side knowledge, appellate experience, and tax law credentials gives the firm a rare ability to handle cases from pre-suit negotiation through trial and appeal, which is important for clients facing complex legal challenges.
