Seasoned, Strategic, and Savvy

I was trapped on a ride at an amusement park. The ride malfunctioned, leaving me stranded in midair. The ride operators were unable to get me down, and rescue services were nowhere to be found. I was instructed to jump to safety, a move that caused me serious injuries. Mark Guralnick immediately re...cognized that this was a case of negligence on the part of the ride operators, and he took the case and filed a lawsuit on my behalf. We were able to settle the case before trial, and I recovered money to compensate me for my medical bills, my lost wages, my pain and suffering and my other losses. Mark's firm was instrumental in putting the case together efficiently considering the fact that I live in one state and the accident occurred in another state.

MARK SHOWED ME THE WAY!

I consulted Mr. Guralnick a few months back, due to nuisance and damage caused to my business property by an adjoining abandoned property. Mr. Guralnick advised me to quickly and swiftly file a complaint against the company who currently owns the abandoned property. He advised me and informed me how ...and where to search for the title company. He also advised me to get an expert witness-construction engineer to assess the damage and draft a report for the court. After obtaining such a report, we would be able to resolve the matter via settlement or offer to purchase the abandoned property for minimal cost. We took Mr. Guralnick's advice and followed these procedures. The Defendants did not respond. So, I went to a proof hearing after a default was entered against the Defendants. With Mr. Guralnick's advice, we brought our structural engineer to the hearing to testify about the extent of the damage, and we received a six figure judgment in our favor . He also advised me on post-judgment procedures, such as how to collect on the judgment by recording it with the appropriate agency. I am very thankful for Mr. Guralnick's expertise, advice, and excellent consultation on these matters.

HE HELPED OUR LITTLE BOY!

We have used Mark S. Guralnick as our attorney for a number of legal issues and have always found that he offers straight down-to-earth common sense, with just the right dose of textbook legal expertise that we need to know. As husband and wife, he has kept us out of financial trouble on more than on...e occasion by helping us make prudent decisions in business and in family financial planning. Not too long ago, our son was injured after an accident. This was one of the scariest things that ever happened in our family. When it happened, we were freaking out. Mark came right to our house --- how many lawyers actually make house visits! He met with us, calmed us down, and when we had to actually file a lawsuit, he walked us through the entire process. It meant a lot to us that he took the time to explain the process to us, to educate us on the legal system and to ask all the right questions. His level of involvement, we think, is a reflection of how he handles cases, and that's what we look for in a lawyer.

Straight to the point, realistic and knowlegable.

I had an issue with my son's birth certificate, where the father's name on it was incorrect. I asked a couple lawyers for advice but they told me the only way to fix the error was to go to court. Of course that meant I had to put out more money and I couldn't afford it, so I did nothing.....until I m...et Mark. In a 10 minute conversation he told me a way to take care of my issue without costing me a dime. Thank you Mr. Guralnick.

Straight to the point and very knowledgable.

I consulted with Mr. Guralnick about a matter concerning an error made on my son's birth certificate. I had asked other lawyers for advice but no one was able to help me or even direct me on the right path. I spoke to Mr. Guralnick for no more than 5 minutes and he told me I had two options but knowi...ng that I couldn't afford much, he directed me to the one that was fast, easy and free.
