Boggs, Cowan & Fargione, a Watkinsville, Georgia law firm led by attorneys Lucas V. Boggs, Lucas B. Cowan, and Alfred E. Fargione, III, represents individuals and families in personal injury and family law matters throughout Northeast Georgia. The firm also represents families and their businesses through complex litigation and business disputes. Each partner brings a different area of trial and litigation experience to the practice, positioning the firm to handle cases from pre-suit negotiations through trial and appeal.
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. Mr. Boggs fights for individuals, their families, and their businesses through discovery, trial, and any necessary further action. His appellate experience is particularly valuable for clients who may need to challenge adverse rulings or defend favorable ones on appeal.
Lucas B. Cowan spent several years as a trial attorney for the nation's largest insurer. That role gave him firsthand experience with how insurance companies, adjusters, and defense counsel evaluate injury cases both pre-suit and once suit is filed. He now uses this experience and background knowledge on behalf of injured people throughout Georgia. 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." He added that combining that work with Al's family law experience and Luke's appellate work gives clients a team that can handle their case through pre-suit negotiations, trial, and beyond.
Alfred E. Fargione, III has practiced as 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 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. His background is particularly relevant for clients with significant assets or business interests that require careful division and tax planning.
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. Personal injury matters are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients do not pay unless there is a recovery. This arrangement lowers the financial barrier for injured individuals seeking legal representation.
The firm's family law practice covers contested and uncontested divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, property division, legitimation, adoption, and post-judgment modifications. These matters are handled on hourly or flat fee retainers. The firm's 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 has a selective caseload so that 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. 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.
