Mark Guralnick is a man of honor and I’ve never met one lawyer that comes close to his IQ. . I moved from his area but I miss his advice and friendship. Mark is that good looking nerd in High School that was easily liked and accepted by all his peers. Always there when needed. Can’t go wrong with this guy, just has to be challenging enough for him. To take your case and be himself is more than anyone can ask for. Go see for yourself, his talents speak for themselves.

Great Work on a Guardianship Case for an Incapacitated Person
Our family is very happy and satisfied with the guardianship of an incapacitated person work done by Mark. We engaged him during the pandemic, and he regularly kept us apprised of the progression to manage our expectations because the courts were initially closed and therefore things were slower than unusual. Even the judge for our guardianship hearing was very complimentary about Mark's work because the brief he submitted was excellently prepared which made our hearing go quickly and smoothly.

Our Family Was Very Happy With the Service
In a recent matter regarding family court we found Mark Guralnick to be extremely efficient in expediting our case and also very good at communicating the various aspects that I, my two siblings, as well as my father needed to understand in our case, making the somewhat arcane language of the law and its proceeding very easily understood for all of us. All went well and expeditiously.

A lawyer to trust!!
American Airlines is the worst airline in the world – I’m not afraid to say this. They’ve messed up my bookings more times than I can say. Mark Guralnick’s law firm has gotten me refunds by writing to them, and when necessary, suing them. Many lawyers are afraid to alienate their corporate allies. Not Mark Guralnick. If you’ve been burned, then he’ll seek justice for you --- no matter who the offender is. If you’re not sure about taking action, then my advice is, give Mark a call. Don’t put up with airline insanity any more!

Mark made us feel confident and relaxed. We never doubted his ability to not only do what was best for our case but what was best for our family and finances. Should we ever need a lawyer again we will surely be calling him again.

Great work!!
I hired Mark for a contested divorce and he was very effective in bringing forth an agreement that I could live with. After 2 years of spending money on other attorneys and useless mediation, the stalemate was broken and an agreement was reached in 2 court hearings!

Injury Lawyer with Investigative Skills
We hired Mr. Guralnick initially because we heard he was always licensed as a private investigator, and our personal injury case involved defendants who could not be found, evidence that had been destroyed, and witnesses who were not willing to testify. Using his investigative skills, however, Mr. Guralnick was able to locate and serve the defendants; then he used the defendants to persuade the witnesses to participate. We used the "spoliation of evidence" rule to force a settlement from the other side. I am definitely glad we did not choose any old lawyer for this case. Without this kind of specialized expertise and skill, we probably would have gone nowhere with this case. Instead, we ended up with a solid settlement in our favor!

Works Around the Clock
I had a serious legal emergency. Mr. Guralnick's office scheduled a phone conference with me at 8:00 a.m. He spent 90 minutes with me on the phone, collecting all of the details. Throughout the day I heard from Mr. Guralnick, his associate, his paralegal, his secretary. He was still in touch with me by 10:00 p.m. that night, and I know he must have been working overnight on my case, because he assembled an incredible amount of information and documentation before daybreak the next day. He was in court the next day, and we got a court order in my favor. I highly recommend Mr. Guralnick as an attorney who works aggressively until he gets the job done!

Keeping proper perspective
Today I spoke with Mr. Guralnick on the telephone. My wife and I are concerned about a contract that we entered into that had not been fulfilled to our satisfaction. After listening to my concerns and engaging me with questions and discussion, Mr. Guralnick described multiple avenues to follow toward resolution to my problem. He told me some things that I did not really like to hear, but I knew he was being professional and honest. We explored options that would include him and options that would be exercised by me personally or with the assistance of other professionals. And so I am considering my options. Let me be clear: Cost and effective outcome are my two main concerns. I do not have a lot of money, but I need resolution. Mr. Guralnick helped guide my thinking and considerations to such an extent that I can take effective action on my own. Although we did not solve the problem and I will likely not be hiring Mr. Guralnick for this issue, based on our consultation today, I would consider his legal assistance for matters of great significance and appreciate his time and thoughtfulness.

I had contacted attorney Guralnick about representation on a case. I found him to be very thorough and honest, which is a breath of fresh air. I would hire Mark with confidence for any personal or business legal representation and would have no hesitation to recommend him to friends.

The best!!
I posted my situation, within mins I received an answer, then a free phone consultation ON A SATURDAY.....spent over an hour with me, explained and helped me build a plan to start the process of my divorce. Has lead me to feel optimistic in my future and has patiently tolerated my meltdowns and crazy panic with etiquette, kindness, and care! Not to mention when the communication between attorneys started, my ex definitely was intimidated.....he expressed to me his attorney stated, "she hired a good one....he's a pro in this field"....all I can say is thank you for providing me MR. GURALNICK ESQ....BEST ATTORNEY EVER! I honestly feel he saved me when I was in a bad place!!

Calmed my nerves
I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in December 2013, I obtain an attorney through Richmond, berenbaum & associates. My case was moving smoothly and finally settled my accident in August sign my release of fund and never heard from my attorney again. I figured my attorney paid my medical bills until the day after Christmas when the sheriff came knocking on my door to serve me with a summons for a breach of contract. The Philadelphia hand center was suing me for failure to pay medical bills. I was so upset because I couldnt get a hold of my previous attorney. That is when I found Mark. Right away he contact the other attorney explain the situation to them and had them dismiss the complaint, and has been working with me to get this matter resolved as well as the attorney who stole my money.

Brilliant Legal Mind and Litigator
I have been involved in 3 cases involving children and immediate family, from family law to personal injury. The three cases were handled by 3 different attorneys, from small firms to larger firms. None of them had the necessary skills to maneuver through my complex divorce case, so I decided that I should try Mark. I hit the jackpot. Mark got through my complicated divorce case with precision and good will. He got me the deal I was looking for, even though my spouse had the upper hand. My case could only have been handled by experienced family lawyers, and I can affirm that Mark is truly one of the elite attorneys. The best part is, it was all at an affordable price!

He saved me points on my license.
Usually, Mr. Guralnick handles bigger kinds of cases, so I know he was going out of his way when he helped me with a speeding ticket. I had been charged with driving 46 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone. This was a 4-point violation, but he got the charge changed and the points sliced in half. I must say, I was very nervous because I use my vehicle every single day for work, and I could not afford to get any more tickets. Mr. Guralnick placed me at ease and handled the situation very professionally at a very reasonable price.

THEY COULD RUN...BUT COULD NOT HIDE....
With Mark S. Guralnick as our family's lawyer, we were able to pursue a judgment that our family had against a business that destroyed the property next to our family business. Not that this was simple, mind you. The guy who owed us the money tried everything in his power to avoid paying us. He slipped through the cracks and then ran from us when we tried to sue him. He tried to hide in New York, but Mr. Guralnick found him there. We are thankful for Mr. Guralnick's advice and his efforts at going after the judgment for us. We will recommend him to any business or individual requiring legal services.

GREAT ADVICE AT ACCIDENT SCENE
I was involved in a multi-car pile-up on a major highway that tied up rush-hour traffic for several hours. My car was totaled. Police did not witness the accident, but they certainly witnessed the aftermath. The way the cars landed, and the way the debris was situated all over the road could very well have led to the conclusion that I caused the accident. I telephone Mark Guralnick right from the accident scene. I have known Mark for several years as the answer-man when it comes to virtually any kind of legal problem, and frankly I didn't want to say or do the wrong thing when police arrived. He counseled me immediately on what to do and what NOT to do. He told me what to say, and more importantly what NOT to say. Luckily, nobody was seriously injured in this car accident. Like I said, my car was wrecked, but at least I was able to get timely, intelligent legal advice from an expert. Mark Guralnick gets five stars for his quick response in an emergency situation.

In a time of need, he was a guiding light....
Domestic Violence -- you hear about it every day, but you don't expect it to hit home. But it did, it hit my home! To be exact, my boyfriend hit ME in the face at my home. And in a matter of minutes, I found myself injured, and I saw my boyfriend being carted off by the police. My children were hysterical, and our lives were turned upside down. Let me tell you, I would not have emerged from this situation with any sanity at all if it weren't for Mark Guralnick. Mark gave me immediate advice on how to handle the police, the courts, the custody and support situation that followed and all of the incidental issues. I could have very well become a basket case at any moment because this was a very emotional situation. But Mark Guralnick kept me on track. He focused me on my children, my health, my responsibilities, my obligations. He kept me fully informed about how the domestic violence court procedures would work. Some lawyers are all business, but I believe Mark has a real interest in making sure his clients succeed. He is my guiding light.

HE DISCOVERED A FRAUDULENT SPOUSE!
Mark S. Guralnick saved my life. My wife defrauded me by tricking me into signing divorce papers. I did not realize what I was signing at the time. I admit that this my fault -- I should have gotten a lawyer much sooner. When I met Mark, he applied his sharp investigative skills to re-open my divorce case. He tracked down the notary public who notarized our papers. She testified that exactly what my wife had done to mislead me into signing the papers. We pieced it all together and we were able to show the judge. In the end, we were able to strike a much better deal for me. I am very thankful for Mark's fine service, his legal skills, and his investigative techniques.

Armed and Ready for Battle!
Mark S. Guralnick and his law firm managed to dissect a very complicated child custody case for me, on very short notice, and led me to victory on all counts. My ex-husband and I have been in a bitter custody dispute for a long time. Our fight involves visitation hours, improper sleeping arrangements, conflicts between the children, family therapy issues, reimbursement of medical expenses, request for mandatory parenting classes, and the involvement of child protective services, a child with mental illness and other questions. Like I said, this was a complicated case. The Guralnick firm attacked it head-on, calling me at day and at night and gathering all the information that was needed to prepare for court. We were successful in front of the judge, but in my opinion, that's because the lawyers were extremely well-prepared, armed with the evidence and ready to do battle when we got to the courtroom.

Forget 9-1-1 -- Mark Guralnick Came to My Rescue
My husband and I were married in 1984, approximately 30 years ago. We had three children. Our oldest child is disabled by epilepsy, depression and other afflictions. She is highly medicated. Meanwhile, although my husband is in a far better financial position than I am, he refused to contribute to household expenses and to support our children. Our mortgage was not paid for more than half a year. That's when I called Mark S. Guralnick. His law firm went to work like an emergency squad, dealing with our home and addressing all of our financial affairs. While my husband persisted in refusing to pay anything, Mark filed motions in court and went to bat for me to obtain the relief we needed. Life has thrown me a few curves, but I must say that I would not have been able to navigate those curves without the assistance of this fine lawyer.
