Extremely Knowledgeable, Productive & Outstanding Divorce Attorney: I am Fully Satisfied for his Services!

Mark is a very nice, pleasant person who listens to your case well and try to accomplish your expectations to your fullest satisfaction in the best possible honest and correct way. He is extremely knowledgeable and qualifies as an outstanding Attorney. It is confirmed by being the author for many boo...ks. Therefore he knows exactly the BEST WAY to handle your case for a successful end. Since his arguments and requests are logically very true & correct with proofs it is impossible for the other party to deny his arguments and therefore he automatically becomes the winner. That is the main reason why we should hire a good attorney. After consulting many other attorneys in NJ, I can strongly recommend Mark is the BEST suitable attorney I ever found to handle my divorce. He is a MASTER in this field! In every court appearance his arguments were fully accepted and we moved to a winning end. My heart- felt thanks goes to Mark and all members in his law firm for all the support and services provided to me during the difficult time. Particularly Mr. Dhaval Patel and Ms. Jillian Carr helped me ENOMOURSLY and I greatly appreciate them! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU & LAW FIRM! Mark handled my divorce very well and I am very satisfied with his services! I strongly recommend him to your case too! He is the BEST!!!

HE WILL FORCE THEM TO SETTLE YOUR CASE !

I hired Mark S. Guralnick and his law firm on two occasions in two very difficult cases, and both times, he used his strategic skills to get the Defendants to settle my cases and pay the damages I was entitled to receive. In the first case, my family was suffocating from a toxic mold condition in ...a property we were renting. My daughter was suffering serious respiratory and dermatological problems and had been rushed to the hospital on a number of occasions because of the mold spores that had contaminated the premises. The landlord denied liability and put up a good fight, but thanks to Mark Guralnick's refusal to back down, and the detailed information he gathered in the development of the case, we were paid a fair settlement without ever going to trial. In the second case, I was injured on the job, and my employer terminated me without paying me workers compensation. The employer claimed I was late for work, but Mr. Guralnick's office filed a lawsuit showing that it was a pretense for trying to avoid paying me workers compensation. With the help of Mr. Guralnick and his team, we were again able to settle the case without going to court. In my book, Mr. Guralnick gets the top rating!

Support

Mark S. Guralnick defended me in a case in which my ex-wife was trying to recover support that was desperately needed to keep our son in college. After he initially met with us, he carefully outlined a plan for the materials which we would need to gather to win our motion in court. We gathered the ne...cessary materials while Mr. Guralnick researched the law. His office staff was extremely thorough in tracking down every piece of useful evidence that could assist us in winning our case. When we got the court, the judge ruled 100% in my favor.

Thanks, Ray, I'm glad I was able to win your case, and I'm happy that the judge ruled 100% in your favor. We pride ourselves in being -- as you put it -- "extremely thorough in tracking down every piece of useful evidence" that can help you win your case.

Knowlegeable, Fair, and Professional - Divorcce

I retained Mr. Guralnick for divorce proceedings a number of years ago. I was expertly advised in advance of the directions that various decisions in the matter could result in. That preparation made those decisions easier. The results were satisfactory, and the costs were fair. I have also sough...t his legal guidance in other unrelated matters since. Highly recommended.

Posted by Shaun | August 11, 2015 | Defective and Dangerous Products

Extremely knowledgeable attorney who aggressively advocates for his clients

Mr. Guralnick represented me in a products liability case in connection with injuries sustained from a fall from a faulty wheelchair. The attorney representing the defendant used very aggressive tactics in an attempt to have my claims against his client completely dismissed. Mr. Guralnick was a ten...acious advocate for my rights and pursued my case through a successful appeal to a very satisfactory settlement. He was highly knowledgeable about the complex legal issues involved in my case and the subsequent appeal. He and his staff were professional, courteous, and extraordinarily helpful in explaining the legal process as my case progressed. I would highly recommend Mark S. Guralnick for any legal matter.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
