After consulting with multiple attorneys, Mr. Guralnick was retained for a guardianship of an incapacitated person case (for my sister) in August 1st of 2016. While having the heftiest retainer, Mr. Guralnick was chosen due to his experience, knowledge of the NJ courts, process for keeping costs low, inquisitive nature (he asked many questions). This type of case requires forms to be completed by two physicians. After a few weeks, the physicians stated that they had not received the forms. After a couple of requests, I was able to receive the forms directly on September 16th. Immediately I noticed that these forms were templated as my sister’s name and doctor’s names were correct, however, my name and my niece’s name were not. This might explain why the physician did not get the forms, or not. Once notified, this was corrected the same day. The case did not move forward due to the physicians not filling out the documents. During that process, my sister passed away on December 4th, ultimately putting an end to the case. At this point, I had not received a single bill from Mr. Guralnick’s firm. Knowing that there should be plenty of money left over in the retainer, I asked Mr. Guralnick if he could assist in the estate affairs. If not, please consider that message an official request for final bill and refund of remaining retainer funds. Mr. Guralnick returned his condolences and assured that he could assist with the estate affairs. My niece and I met with him in December on the estate case and decided to move forward. Mr. Guralnick stated that he would get the paperwork drawn up for the estate case and have it emailed over. This is where all the trouble started. After repeated email requests and multiple phone calls for status of the estate case paperwork from December 30th to February, my niece and I decided to move forward with the estate affairs on our own. On April 27, 2017, I sent an email request to cancel any business with the estate case and asked (again) for the final bill and refund of retainer on the guardianship case. This was met with no response. Numerous phone calls and email requests were sent from April to July with no response. It wasn’t until I sent my last correspondence, July 25, 2017, threatening to make formal complaint with the Bar Association along with my feedback here did I get a direct reply from Mr. Guralnick. His reply was apologetic, explaining staffing issues, and asked me to schedule a phone conference with him and he would handle my case personally. I responded immediately informing him that I did not wish to incur any further charges and that I did not believe that a phone conference was warranted. Again, I asked for a final bill and the remainder of my retainer. As of the posting of this review, March 26, 2018, I STILL have not received a bill, and no refund of my retainer. Emails and phone calls are ignored unless you threaten his livelihood. I really hate to write these kinds of reviews, but please BUYER BEWARE with this one. It all looked very good and promising until it was time to refund my money. RESOLUTION UPDATE: Mr. Guralnick reached out to me on 3/26/18 to resolve the issue, expressing apology and a commitment to improved client communication and accounting. He stated that an attempt was made to refund my retainer on 8/2/17 but was sent to the wrong address. I received my refund on 4/2/18 and have adjusted my rating.

I would HIGHLY recommend Mark Guralnick! He took my case and was able to facilitate getting my case heard in front of a judge and win. His vast knowledge, experience and understanding of the law worked out to my advantage. I had a previous attorney for the same type of case and no results were given. The only thing the other attorney did was take my money. With Mr. Guralnick, he’s nothing short of extraordinary! I am going to be referring him as much as I possibly can. Over the years I have met so many people whose cases are similar to mine. I think the best thing I can do for these people is to refer them the best person in the business, Mr. Mark Guralnick.

Mark has served our family for over 30 years on a wide array of issues and has always handled them professionally and with great aplomb.

Mark is top notch and highly recommended. I can with confidence recomend his services. Very professional, very prompt, straight to the point and talked to me like a normal human being. I have and will continue to recomend Mark Guralnick.

The lawyer I actually hired referred my case to this lawyer and communication has gone down from there. I have called this lawyer multiple times and Mark never answers or returns calls. Never in a million years would I have ever hired a lawyer with these communication skills. Furthermore, who litigates someone’s case without ever having them actually sign a retainer or speak to them? I have no idea who this man is or why he was showing up at court.

Mr. Guralnick has continuously, and successfully guided me on a wide variety of Legal matters, and kept me from making bad decisions on more than one occasion. Because of his good counsel, and timely judgement, I have been able to profit time and time again, in my professional and business dealings. I would highly recommend Mr. Guralnick to my friends and family. Very professional Attorney with a high level of respect, and demeanor.

We highly recommend the law office of Mark S Guralnick which has successfully defended us in every case it has ever handle for us.

Mark landed me a major financial reward in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for injuries I suffered in a dog bite case, all through his brilliant and strategic evidence-gathering and negotiating skills. I would recommend him for any major personal injury case.

This law office provided timely advice on an employment law issue I was experiencing, and counseled me to make the right decisions. I was very pleased with the services, and would seek counsel from this top notch and caring law firm again.

I retained this attorney last year in his Cherry Hill office for a personal injury case, and recently fired him. When i first spoke to him i was very impressed with his knowledge and his manner, He was very helpful. Once i hired him, everything changed. I made multiple attempts to contact him about my case over the course of about 8 months. The first 10 or so times i called, i was told he would call me back. He never did. Then i was given phone-appt times with him. He never called. Then i emailed him, multiple times thinking he wasnt getting the phone messages. He wrote back only after many emails, and still wouldnt talk to me, in fact his email response was irrelevant to my questions and he later berated me in an email, for getting frustrated with him. He and his staff, Christina and Jillian, engaged in a gaslighting campaign which seemed effortless for them, repeatedly hanging up on me, lying to me, and stalling me. He even held me up from dealing with another legal case by refusing to answer, for about 6 months, whether or not he was going to represent me on it. I went to far as to visit his office to politely request a face to face appt -- and i was stalled again. In 7 months he called me once, about 8am, and gave me a 45 min. window in which to call him back -- this was on a Mon, after telling me he would try to call the prior weekend. I could give 100 more examples of the mind games he played. When i asked for an accounting of the work he did on my case, he ignored me. There was none offered -- never a copy of a letter sent to my drs, nothing, in 7-8 months. I dont know what his problem is, or that of christina and jillian who do some kind of work for him -- not sure what -- but between the 3 of them they were extremely abusive. Dont pay this man to abuse you, stay far away.
