Erica, the hidden gem

My case was ongoing for 4 years with another attorney who wasn’t proactive. I was approached by numerous people telling me about their wonderful experience with Gemelli, Gross, Shapiro and Marino Law firm. I decided to go for a consultation and met with Erica Shapiro and John Gemelli. Erica listened ...carefully to all the details of my case and reviewed all the previous motions and was able to quickly catch on to what happened and provided me with the appropriate guidance of what needs to be done next to move the case forward in full gear. Erica is very organized and structured. She is on point and prepared the case for trial after going over all my correspondences with my husband along with all the records pertaining to my son. Erica has a lot of patience and perseverance and knew exactly what should be presented at trial to win my custody battle. I am very happy that I made the right decision to switch lawyers who were able to get me full legal custody of my son and were very understanding as to my personal feelings and needs. I would highly recommend Erica.

Erica Shapiro, Esq.

I will say that it definitely takes a certain type of person to be a divorce attorney and Erica definitely found her calling. Going through my divorce was such a personal and emotional experience and I couldn't have handpicked a better attorney to be by my side. From the beginning of my divorce to ...the end I truly believe that she understood me, understand my situation and understood what was important. She guided me at the right times to fight for what I wanted and to compromise when that was the right thing to do. Erica was responsive and dedicated to me and my case, I always got the feeling of professionalism as well as compassion from her which is a hard mix. I can’t thank Erica enough for all of her hard work and for working with me to get through some of the most difficult situations.

Best lawyer

The first time I met Erica was a huge relief. I had a female attorney representing me. She’s honest, hardworking, and will fight for her clients as she did for me. If I ever had a question she was always there for me with a quick response knowing how busy she was . Erica will go back and beyond for ...your case as she did for me. She’s very patient and will always listen to what you have to say, and at the end will always provide the right steps to move forward. Best female attorney!!!!!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Before Ms. Shapiro and I began working together, we were opposing counsel on a sensitive, challenging matter that involved both family court litigation (order of protection) and an emotional, difficult divorce in Supreme Court. Ms. Shapiro's zealous advocacy, attention to detail, and effective representation was so impressive to me and to my office that we later extended her an offer of employment. Ms. Shapiro is an excellent litigator, writer, counselor, and advocate. Her clients benefit tremendously from her wealth of experience and knowledge."
