Attorney Valery ("V. R.") Milgrom came to the idea of legal practice comprising a cross between immigration and intellectual property laws as a result of his own personal experiences.
First of all, he is a first-generation American himself and went through the entire immigration maze without help from anybody.
Second, he earned degrees and diplomas in Mechanical Engineering and Journalism from the former USSR and became the first Russian-speaking Master of Intellectual Property (MIP) in the US.
Today V.R.Milgrom possesses a license of a patent attorney, is a member of New York and New Jersey State Bars, American Association of Immigration Attorneys (AILA), Intellectual Property Section of the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA – IP Section), and Licensing Executive Society (LES USA – Canada).
