Boggs, Cowan & Fargione, a Watkinsville, Georgia 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 across Northeast Georgia. The firm's structure, which pairs three partners with distinct trial backgrounds, matters because it allows clients to receive representation that spans pre-suit negotiations, trial, and appeals without transferring their case to a new attorney at each stage.
Lucas B. Cowan's background is particularly notable for injury clients. He spent several years as a trial attorney for the nation's largest insurer, giving him direct knowledge of how insurance companies, adjusters, and defense counsel evaluate injury claims both 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 perspective is uncommon among plaintiff-side firms and can shape how a claim is prepared and valued from the outset.
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.
Alfred E. Fargione, III brings a different dimension to the team. A trial attorney since 2011, he has handled hundreds of divorce, custody, legitimation, and child support cases and has tried cases before judges and juries throughout Georgia. He also 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 has obtained rulings reversing unlawful government action against his clients. His work ensures that favorable trial outcomes can be defended on appeal and that adverse rulings can be challenged, an advantage for clients whose cases may extend beyond the trial court.
The firm also represents families and their businesses through complex litigation and business disputes. Its 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. Partners have been recognized by Super Lawyers Rising Stars and The National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and the firm is a member of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association.
Boggs, Cowan & Fargione maintains a selective caseload so that clients work directly with their attorney, and it offers services in English and Spanish. The firm serves clients throughout Athens-Clarke, Oconee, Walton, Barrow, Jackson, Newton, Oglethorpe, Madison, Franklin, Hart, and Greene Counties from its office at 1024 Twelve Oaks Drive, Suite 103, Watkinsville, Georgia. For a region where injury and family legal needs often overlap, the firm's combination of insurance industry insight, family law depth, and appellate capability offers a coordinated approach that can reduce the risk of fragmented representation.
