Lev Migden Law, PLLC

Lev Migden Law strives to be a different kind of law firm.  Lev Migden Law is a voice.  Based on the experience and passions of its founder,  Lev Migden Law operates under the central idea:

An attorney must be a member of the world with an active voice.  It is that voice — harsh and raspy at times; soft and soothing at other times — necessary in solving problems for those who have lost their own or never had one at all.

Lev Migden Law operates in diverse areas of practice.  Please look through the tabs on the right.  As you will find, these practice areas involve matters in which having a voice is key.  Animals have no voice.  Intellectual property is a voice expressed in material.  Cross-border and cross-cultural matters are a collision of voices.  Refugees have had their voices stripped of meaning without the security of a home.

There are no simple legal issues.  Lev Migden Law understands that a client’s livelihood, money, personal reputation, and life may be in danger.  Our office will work with you in securing your rights.  Lev Migden Law will be your voice in correcting wrongs.

Lev Migden Law looks forward to assisting you with your sensitive matters.

Werewolves, Yetis, the Loch Ness Monster, satyrs, sea monsters, and dragons have been causing problems for centuries.  Villages and boats destroyed.  Death and destruction.  Harassment and offensive behavior.  Call Lev Migden Law immediately if you have a legal matter involving such creatures … although highly unlikely.  But such legendary creatures show that our relationships with creatures of all kinds will be eternal.

The wag of a dog’s tail or the purr of a cat brings us comfort.  The growl of a salivating dog or the hiss and claws of a cat brings us fear.  Keeping exotic pets, hunting, breeding species for preservation or profit may give us financial and mental satisfaction.  Animals even taste good and provide us with life-sustaining nutrients.  For whatever the many reasons, the fact is that people encounter animals in their daily lives and animals encounter us a part of their lives.  Naturally, legal issues involving animals are then unavoidable.

Animal matters cover many areas of law.  Animals are our property; they are also seen as members of our family whose future well-being is considered after our own natural lives.  Animals share our homes; landlords and neighbors may wish this were not so.  Industries use animals as products; consumers spend their income to satisfy their comfort in caring for animals.  Animals protect us and our property; people are attacked by animals.  Animals serve and assist people with needs; people often fail to serve or to assist the needy.  In any case, the voicelessness of animals is at the heart of animal law matters.

The world is as large now for humankind as it was several million years ago.  The desire to search the earth for better things may be a natural  thought in people’s minds.  Businesses and individuals scour the earth for less costly and better resources and markets. Perhaps some businesses and individuals seek out far-off places to hide those resources or even themselves.  Yet, satellites and science have eliminated hidden places and raw material for discovery.  All that remains to be discovered on this earth are individuals and the lawyers that work out the future disputes.  The outer boundaries of cyberspace have yet to be discovered as well.

While modern travel and the internet shorten one dimension of the earth, national borders do not regularly shorten.  Cross-border disputes become entangled in various legal systems in varying languages and cultural ideas.  It may very well have been a difference in language or culture which makes a mess of a contract or causes physical injury.  However, voices do carry across borders to correct wrongs.

Lev Migden Law can assist you in international matters:

Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in the US
International Business Transactions

We are full of ideas.  Some of those ideas are better than others.  And many of those ideas, whether good or bad, never become more than just that — an idea.  However, the ideas which become action in words and material shape are the ideas which become our own.

At the root of any product or service are marketable ideas.  And successfully marketable ideas may not always be obviously original.  The value of any idea is in how it is expressed and distinguishes your product or service apart from the competition.  Copyright and trademark laws are available to protect and secure your property rights in the idea which drives your business and which sets you apart from competition.

Lev Migden Law can counsel you in protecting your valuable ideas:

Trademark Registration/Prosecution
Copyright Registration/Infringement Actions
Licensing/Transfers/Assignments/Due Diligence
Trade Dress

The above are only examples of possible matters.  Please contact Lev Migden Law to discuss your particular matter.

An essential part of humanity is in the movement of people across the globe.  The exchange of ideas and culture has made the world what it is today.  Migration has fueled innovation, shaped the arts, developed music, and created new outlets for the voice of people.

Unfortunately, entire populations and social groups have had to move out of fear for their safety and lives.  A large area of law has developed to provide people with a safe haven within the United States free from the persecution based on several factors.  Lev Migden Law can assist you in obtaining safe haven in the US, if you fear persecution based because of your:

Political Opinion
Race
Religion
Nationality
Social Group
