Excellent! Hire John Gemelli and his associates!

When I first met and interviewed with John Gemelli I was confident I didn’t have to look any further. After hiring Johns’s firm and meeting his partners Josephine Marino, Erica Shapiro and Howard Teichner I felt very confident that I hired the right firm to represent me in my divorce. They all were c...ompassionate, knowledgeable, professional, experienced, honest and tough. This was exactly the type of lawyers I needed. The team took care of every detail in my divorce through the years. They were always there to answer any questions and made me feel comfortable and confident with my divorce . Thank you to all my lawyers and their staff! I was very satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend Mr Gemelli and his associates.

Grand Slam

Hiring John resulted in the best outcome for me. He handled my difficult divorce with aplomb. His knowledge regarding divorce proceedings is unparalleled. The professionalism of John and all his colleagues and staff was top notch. It was like a team effort. I didn't just hire a great lawyer, I hired ...a great team. My particular divorce was long and arduous, but my team worked hard for me every step of the way. John hit a Grand Slam in my case. Thank You John!!

The BEST!

I can confidently say that Mr. Gemelli was the best choice as the lawyer for my divorce. He first and foremost is a caring and compassionate human being before being a confident and efficient lawyer—a true master of his trade. He always answered any and every question I had, and graciously provided m...e with his personal cell number for direct access. He confidently and flawlessly accomplishes his client’s desires and best interests in the court room. He is well loved and known by all, there isn’t a security guard, judge or staff member in the court that doesn’t know him on a close level and a favorable way. I am eternally grateful to John for the support and representation he provided me during the most difficult time in my life. Should you find yourself in a divorce, he’s definitely the man for the job!

Excellent

I had the privilege of having John Gemelli as my attorney during my divorce case. John was a wonderful representative of calm preparedness during what became a lengthy and tenacious divorce litigation. I so appreciated his expertise and knowledge of the law, his calming presence, and his polite and r...espectful attitude in the courtroom, and outside of it. He helped me to stay focused on the larger picture, and he worked on my case in a caring and timely manner. His support and dedication are beyond any one can imagine. Thank YOU John
