[Back To Credentials]

During his legal career, Mark S. Guralnick has handled a number of complex, creative and innovative cases. Some of the cases have resulted in major settlements, such as a wrongful death action in an auto accident, which led to a settlement of $2.1 million, and a car-truck accident in Philadelphia in which the driver of the car settled for $365,000. Other cases have achieved important personal results, such as the successful dismissal of all criminal charges against a man charged with committing assault while in prison. Other cases have achieved personal satisfaction, financial rewards, and social justice, such as when Mr. Guralnick represented a teacher in a lawsuit against her school for discharging her after she “blew the whistle” on them and advised state officials that they were making false reports about their care and handling of students.
