Don't get excited by his flashy profile description

Don't get excited by his flashy profile description, once you pay the retainer, he'll disappear on you. He doesn't answer the phone or e-mails, he doesn't answer the other party's attorney emails trying to contact him about the case either. We had to hire someone else to fix his mess, which costed us... thousands of dollars. Furthermore, his lack of communication with the other attorney almost costed us the case. We know he will answer something smart justifying his unprofessional behavior and blaming the client, that's what he does, but you've been warned...run!

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.

Posted by Sheila | March 03, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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 craz...y 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.

Posted by Jillian | April 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

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 hyst...erical, 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.
