Best International Family Law Specialist

Mr. Guralnick helped me to navigate my international divorce case which raised complex issues involving domicile, immigration, jurisdiction and residency between the United States and India. Because he is a seasoned international family lawyer, Mr. Guralnick was able to glide easily from concept to ...concept and to explain them to me in very palatable terms that made sense to me. I was very concerned about how quickly my case could move through the system, especially when it was apparently that my wife was making some significant procedural errors in the way she was filing her papers. Mr. Guralnick patiently counseled me not to rush through the process, while also pointing me toward certain advantages and opportunities that were available to me. In the end, I feel quite certain that I got the better deal.

COURTROOM COMMANDO, AND EXCELLENT STRATEGIST

Mark S. Guralnick represented me -- and continues to represent me -- in my never-ending divorce and post-divorce case in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. My case was a very complex case involving three children entering college in two countries, a house entering foreclosure, an able-bodied, highly-...employable husband who willfully quit working, several very valuable pension and annuity funds valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and at least two dozen other very significant property, financial insurance, and tax issues affecting our family. Mark was not my first lawyer -- I had a falling out with her -- and then, perhaps naïvely, I tried to represent myself, By the time I hired Mark, he was thrown into a fire: My husband's lawyer was breathing fire, the judge had become increasingly impatient and intolerant, multiple contempt motions had been pending, and a trial date had been set. Mark put on his suit of armor! He transformed, like some kind of superhero, into a courtroom commando. He took control of the witness stand, the evidence, the works. We didn't win everything we wanted, and my ex-husband hasn't even obeyed the orders that were entered against him. HOWEVER, Mark has stood by my side every minute since I hired him. In fact, now three years since the judge divorced us, even as we continue to fight my ex-husband in the Norfolk County Family Court, Mark has been successful in getting annuity funds released to me, extending my children's right to support and eligibility for other benefits. He has provided timely strategies on when and how to file motions and what to ask for, in order to beat my deadbeat husband at his own game.

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.

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.

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!
