My name is Yuri Kalant. I graduated from St. John’s University and attended CUNY Queens College School of Law. Right out of law school, I practiced immigration and criminal law before changing my career path and joining a personal injury firm.
After that, I joined The Sanders Law Firm, where I have been a senior partner for the past five years.
I immigrated from the former Soviet Union in 1994. My mother went to law school and became an attorney here, and her passion inspired me to pursue a career in law.
After law school, I became an immigration attorney and worked to help immigrants obtain legal status in the United States. I believe it’s very important for immigrants to know their rights.
You don’t need to have a green card or even a Social Security number to bring a personal injury claim in the United States, especially in New York. Even if you’re undocumented, you may still be able to file a claim, pursue a lawsuit, and recover compensation for your injuries.
