Bohdan (Bud) Kosovych spent many years practicing law in a major U.S. corporation, in sizeable law firms, and in boutique firms, covering matters throughout the United States, as well as some matters for clients from Canada, Mexico, and Sweden. After gaining all that experience, he opened his solo practice at Kosovych Law Firm, PLLC, based in Staten Island, New York, but continued to help clients located in Manhattan and other areas of the country and clients from other countries regarding matters in New York.  Mr. Kosovych combines his experience, including as an outside general counsel to a business organization, with a strong dedication to client satisfaction, to provide effective results at reasonable prices.  Mr. Kosovych maintains the high standards and values he upheld at a large corporation and at top law firms, without expensive overhead.
