Law Firm Overview

THE FIRM

 LaRose & Bosco, Ltd. was formed in February 2000, when Mark LaRose welcomed his long-time friend, Joe Bosco, into partnership.  Mr. LaRose was formerly owner of Mark A. LaRose, Ltd. (MAL, Ltd.), formerly a partner with Gessler, Hughes & Socol, Ltd. in Chicago, and a former Illinois Assistant Attorney General.  After four years of government service and 10 years in private practice, Mr. LaRose decided to open his own firm in 1996.  Mary Karson, his legal assistant of more than 10 years, joined him.  In February 2000, Joe Bosco agreed to join Mark as a full partner.  Joe was a partner with Kaplan, Begy & von Ohlen in Chicago, and brings 18 years of litigation experience to LaRose & Bosco, Ltd.   In February 2001, Clarissa Cutler Grayson joined the firm  as associate attorney after a two year clerkship to the Honorable Aaron Jaffe.  In March 2003, David Koppelman joined the Firm as associate attorney after practicing for 14 years as a member of Allstate Insurance Company's Staff Counsel.

LaRose & Bosco, Ltd. is dedicated to providing the best personalized service at a reasonable cost.  Of Counsel to the Firm are John J. Alioto, and Joseph G. Alioto, all experienced civil and criminal trial lawyers and Anthony J. Bosco, retired Cook County Circuit Judge.  Legal assistant Nancy Cravens and law clerks Justin, Glen, David, Mike and Tony round out the LaRose & Bosco, Ltd. team.

In September 2000, the Firm opened a full service office in New Buffalo, Michigan, where our lawyers and staff handle commercial and real estate transactions, civil litigation and other general practice matters.

LaRose & Bosco, Ltd. has the depth to handle a full caseload of complex matters.  LaRose & Bosco's lawyers routinely try cases and argue appeals in state and federal courts throughout the United States.
