Boggs, Cowan & Fargione, a law firm based in Watkinsville, Georgia, is positioning itself as a comprehensive legal resource for individuals and families across Northeast Georgia by combining three distinct areas of trial and litigation 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 structure matters because clients often face legal problems that cross from pre-suit negotiations through trial and appeal, and the firm says it can manage those transitions internally rather than referring clients out.
The most distinctive element of the practice is Lucas B. Cowan’s background as a trial attorney for the nation’s largest insurer. That experience gives him firsthand knowledge of how insurance companies, adjusters, and defense counsel evaluate injury claims both before and after a lawsuit is filed. In a statement, Cowan said, “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.” For injured clients, that perspective can shape strategy from the initial demand through litigation.
Lucas V. Boggs focuses on complex civil and appellate litigation and has briefed and argued appeals before the Georgia Court of Appeals, including cases in which rulings reversed unlawful government action against his clients. 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 also holds an LL.M. in Tax Law and Estate Planning from Boston University School of Law, which the firm says informs his work on high-asset divorces involving complex property and tax issues. The three partners’ combined backgrounds mean a client’s case can move from negotiation to trial to appeal without changing counsel.
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. 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 addresses contested and uncontested divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, property division, legitimation, adoption, and post-judgment modifications, handled on hourly or flat fee retainers.
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 firm’s attorneys have tried more than 100 cases to verdict and are admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
