Accomplished the near impossible

Marc Kurzman is a excellent attorney. He "sees a corner" before there IS a corner". He is a methodical, clever attorney. He adheres to the law but makes the law WORK, for his client. He is a advocate for his client, AND HE DOES NOT GIVE UP! I have been in a nightmare legal proceeding with a irrev...ocable trust, which is near to impossible to break...only 3% He broke it. He follows thru with clients. He cares. I have had him fighting for me, my rights, my dignity, for almost 3 years. And he delivered and more. He's a good man, an honest man. I don't believe a person could have a better lawyer than Marc. That is my honest, well informed experience.

Dedicated to our family's success

I hired Marc to represent my son through a challenging criminal defense scenario. It was a very complex situation and Marc was excellent at asking good questions, listening for understanding, and offering options for how to move forward. He brought candid insight that helped us understand how th...e law works, while also guiding us toward what was best for my son. Marc's follow through was exceptional, he was tireless in advocating for my son, and he gave me good advice on how to deal with the situation. I strongly recommend Marc for anyone who wants a lawyer who will work hard for you and be in your corner !

The worst attorney in the state

I hired Marc Kurzman 3 years ago in an child custody fight. He charged me over $60,000 in all, lied to me and the judge regularly, did the opposite of what I asked of him, and attacked innocent people throughout the trial, something I did NOT want or approve of. I have never ever seen anything like i...t. I wish I had done more research, and discovered the many, many disciplinary actions against this guy over the last few years. He lost the case for me (something I found out later he does regularly), and the positive reviews here are definitely posted by him or his staff. He's a real piece of work. Run, run, run!!

Replied last July 3, 2017

This is a FALSE posting; no such client existed. Oftentimes the people I am litigating against try to "trash" my reputation. Because they were beaten. Anyone who wants direct contact with people whom I have actually represented should contact me/my office. I would not connect you with a client without first obtaining that client's permission...however below are SOME comments which are all verified: Judges’ Comments: • “Mr. Kurzman’s experience as an attorney includes both criminal and civil practice and significant jury trial experience. I was impressed with his preparedness, abilities, civility, ethics, and his knowledge.” Anoka County District Court Judge, Tenth Judicial District • “I have found his legal acumen, compassion, dedication and reputation to be beyond reproach . . .

Mr. Kurzman’s moral character is of the highest caliber. He is highly regarded in the legal community.” Anoka County District Court Judge, Tenth Judicial District • “Mr. Kurzman…has at all times been an effective advocate for his clients…Mr. Kurzman is an experienced trial attorney who is respected by his colleagues and members of the bench.” Ramsey County District Court, Second Judicial District • “I have had the good fortune to have Mr. Kurzman appear in my court on numerous occasions. He has always represented his clients with the very highest level of professionalism. He is a vigorous advocate for his clients. He is a very skilled lawyer with impeccable ethical standards and a commensurate work ethic.” Dakota County District Court Judge, First Judicial District • “Marc Kurzman is an outstanding trial lawyer with a long and enviable record of outstanding advocacy on behalf of his clients…a person of the highest moral character and is a solid, ethical practitioner.” United States District Court Judge, District of Minnesota • “He has done both civil and criminal cases…He was very skilled in his negotiations…His legal skills were excellent.” Hennepin County District Court, Fourth Judicial District • “Mr. Kurzman…is without doubt an able and competent lawyer who works diligently on behalf of his clients, knows both the procedural and substantive law, argues forcefully his clients’ causes in court, and is widely known to be an effective, creative, hard-working lawyer.” Hennepin County District Court Judge, Fourth Judicial District

Mark -- an excellent attorney who is extremely knowledgable and professional.

Mark and his firm represented me in a Minnesota case --- taking it all the way to the MN. Sup. CT. on appeal and did an excellent job... (and reversed a lower courts decision) He was very well prepared and was very impressive in his presentation to the MN. Sup. Ct. I would employ him again if neede...d in a "heartbeat" !

Marc Kurzman top notch legal representation

There are not enough superlatives to describe Marc Kurzman. Marc understands the system, and his reputation among his peers is stellar. Mr. Kurzman is thorough and completely prepared. His ability to piece together evidence to win a trial is without question one of his finest qualities. He also ha...s a rapport with many within the system and this rapport helps him gather key evidence that might otherwise go unnoticed. Had I not been in the fight of my life I would have enjoyed watching Mr. Kurzman go to work! If you need top notch legal representation Marc Kurzman is a must!
