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: complex civil and appellate litigation, insurance defense, and family law. The firm, led by attorneys Lucas V. Boggs, Lucas B. Cowan, and Alfred E. Fargione, III, represents clients in personal injury and family law matters, as well as families and their businesses in complex litigation and business disputes.
The significance of the firm's structure lies in how each partner's background informs the others' work. 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 cases 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 paired with Lucas V. Boggs's focus 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.
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 combination means clients can receive representation from pre-suit negotiations through trial and appeal, a continuity that is often fragmented among separate firms.
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. These 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.
For Northeast Georgia residents, the announcement matters because it signals access to a team that can handle both the negotiation phase with insurers and the litigation phase in court, with appellate capability if a case extends further. The partners have been recognized by Super Lawyers Rising Stars and The National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and they 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.
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.
