About Sergey
Sergey Kalantarov attended St. John’s University School of Law, where he completed his legal education before entering practice in New York. His time at St. John’s provided the foundation for the practical side of his work, exposing him to litigation practice, legal research, and client counseling in a law school environment that emphasizes real-world skills.
After law school, he became licensed to practice in New York. He has spent his career working in the state’s legal system, gaining experience in courtroom procedures, negotiations, and written advocacy. Those years in practice sharpened his judgment about when to press for trial and when to pursue other resolutions.
Colleagues describe his approach as methodical. He attends to factual detail and develops legal arguments grounded in the record. He prepares witness statements, drafts pleadings and motions, and works through discovery with an eye on the endgame. In the courtroom, he aims for clear presentation and careful questioning rather than showmanship.
Outside hearings, he spends time advising clients about practical implications of pending matters. That work can include explaining timelines, weighing risks, and helping clients set realistic goals. He often balances immediate tactical choices against longer-term consequences that affect clients’ daily operations or personal affairs.
Kalantarov practices at Kalantarov Law, PLLC. At the firm he handles matters that arise under New York law and represents clients before state tribunals and administrative forums. His practice involves guiding people and entities through procedural steps, preparing them for hearings, and attempting negotiated resolutions when those are in a client’s best interest.
His professional routine mixes preparation and client contact. Much of a typical week is taken up by drafting court documents, meeting with clients to review developments, and attending appearances. He relies on careful review of evidence and plain-language explanations so clients understand their options.
Outside of immediate casework, he keeps current with changes in New York rules and procedures that affect practice in the state. That ongoing attention helps him adapt strategies as courts refine their requirements and as case law evolves.
He currently practices at Kalantarov Law, PLLC, concentrating on matters arising under New York law.
