People talk about race discrimination and sex discrimination and age discrimination all the time, but I was a victim of a kind of discrimination that you don't hear about very often these days, especially in a public school -- religious discrimination! What's worse is that I'm an adult, not a child,... and I was returning to school to train for a second career after a successful career as a teacher myself. There are not many lawyers who know how to handle a religious discrimination case, or who even know how to get started with such a claim. I brought my case to Mark S. Guralnick. The first thing you need to know is that Mark is not just a lawyer. He is a constitutional scholar--- he has a Ph.D. in addition to his law degree and he eats up these kinds of discrimination issues that involve civil rights violations and equal protection of the law. We spent many hours together developing a theory of the case, and what emerged was a finely-crafted lawsuit. We filed the lawsuit in the federal court system. Although we were confronted with immediate opposition from the school and their lawyers, I am to say that we got them to put money on the table. They not only paid my damages, but ended up refunding 100 percent of all of the money I ever paid in tuition.

My wife and I filed suit after a bad accident case. We found ourselves embroiled in the court system with no experience and no idea how long the process would take. Mark Guralnick patiently explained the process to us. At first we were reluctant to go to court. But Mark prepared us, totally and thor...oughly, and the way he handled the entire process gave us tremendous confidence. In the end, we were able to settle the case in our favor. We walked away with money in our pockets. I also have to say that despite what some people say, I do have more respect for the way the legal system works, when it works the right way, as it did for us.

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.

I hired Mark Guralnick when I should have been having the best time of my life. My father was tragically killed in a drunk driving accident caused by an inebriated driver. I was a high school senior at the time. My father and mother were divorced, and I was the only heir to my father's estate -- in o...ther words, I was the only person with legal authority to take action on his behalf. I was forced into adulthood way before my time. I didn't know what to do! I was scared, confused, depressed, angry, and I didn't know where to turn... I was only 18 years old. Mark Guralnick met with me and patiently explained to me the process of a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent driver who killed my father. Our lawsuit resulted in the highest possible settlement we were entitled to receive. But what I remember most was the way Mark called me to check on me -- to make sure I was okay, to keep up my spirits, to ensure that I was getting out and keeping up with my college applications, and not falling into a depression. He and his staff took me under their wing until the case was over. Not only did the settlement pay for my entire college education, but it left me with a solid sense of loyalty and responsibility to my own business clients today.

Mark stayed in communication throughout my ordeal/simplified the process for me so I understood the path he was taking to protect me ....never backed down/and most importantly while he was fighting for me I had peace of mind to live my life without worrying about my case. Because of his expertise an...d tenacity, I returned to my normal life unscathed and without any financial hardships.
