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 represents clients in personal injury and family law matters, and also handles complex litigation and business disputes for families and their businesses. Each partner brings a distinct area of trial and litigation experience, a structure the firm says allows it to manage cases from pre-suit negotiations through trial and appeal.
The firm's approach matters for readers because personal injury and family law cases often require different kinds of expertise at different stages. 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 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. He added that combining that experience with Fargione's family law background and Boggs's appellate work gives clients a team that can handle a case through pre-suit negotiations, trial, and beyond.
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. Alfred E. Fargione, III has practiced as a trial attorney since 2011 and has handled hundreds of divorce, custody, legitimation, and child support cases, trying 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 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. Those 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 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 legal services in English and Spanish and keeps a selective caseload so that clients work directly with their attorney. 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.
