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.

Complex Business Dispute

I retained Atty Guralnick to assist us in dealing with a complex set of business issues and a set of previous attorneys that completely mis-handled our business dispute. Atty Gurelanick and his staff exhaustively committed themselves to understanding the issues and guided us to success. Atty Guraln...ick's professionalism and commitment was exactly what we needed. He delivered when others failed.

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.

Malpractice Suit

My husband hired Mr. Guralnick to represent him in a malpractice suit against an attorney. Mr. Guralnick's expert representation lead to our receiving a settlement. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of representation.

HE WORKS EXTREMELY HARD ON YOUR CASE.

I first met Mark S. Guralnick when he was a news reporter and I was a photojournalist more than 30 years ago. In the years that have followed, I’ve watched him progress from a fine journalist to a budding lawyer to a seasoned lawyer. In those years, Mark has represented me and my family in many diffe...rent kinds of cases. He has traveled across the country, appearing in federal courts, state courts, and municipal courts on my behalf; he has helped us in times of crisis and need and provided valuable counsel in times of turmoil and confusion. Because I know Mark as a news reporter first, I also know that he has an investigative edge about him – an innate, impulsive, inquisitive aspect that impels him to hunt down information until he gets what he wants. I watched him do this year after year as he won news-writing awards for his investigative journalism. He quite obviously applies the same approach to how he practices law. Years ago, as we prepared for a trial in federal court, I remember his intensity as he rehearsed me continuously for my day in court, practicing questions on me, cross-examining me, making sure I knew what to say no matter what the other lawyer asked me on the witness stand. I must say that I’ve always felt comfortable. I’ve always felt prepared. I don’t live or work near Mark S. Guralnick anymore, but I wouldn’t think of using another lawyer.
