Legan, born in 1950, graduated from the SUNY Buffalo School of Law in 1977, and was admitted to the New York State bar in 1978 and to both the Eastern and Southern District Federal Courts of New York in 1979.   After leaving the insurance defense firm of Bivona & Cohen, Mr. Legan started a general practice law firm in Brooklyn with Samuel Hagan and Vernon Welsh in Brooklyn, which later became the plaintiff’s negligence firm of Legan & Welsh in Jackson Heights, Queens, where Mr. Legan continued litigating plaintiff’s insurance, no fault insurance and accident claims for seriously injured accident victims.  During that time, Mr. Legan supervised the work of trial attorneys such as Jaime Wolf, E.
