Highly Recommend!!!

If you are looking to have a favorable divorce settlement with relocation, look no further! John's experience and familiarity with the court system was immensely beneficial. Although quite popular, John found the time to take personal interest in my case. He was there for me when I needed him and ac...cessible if needed after hours and weekends. John is realistic about what to expect and was able to secure my relocation out of state.

BEST ATTORNEY! Highly Intelligent & Dedicated Lawyer on Your Side

HIRE JOHN AND DO NOT THINK OTHERWISE. The best decision I made during my divorce was hiring John Gemelli. As a father, John knows what fathers' rights are and will fight for them. Unfortunately, my ex-wife did not want to settle on joint custody which I thought was fair. After abandoning our k...ids for months at a time I fought for custody and John fought along side with me. John knows the judicial system and everyone in the field. He is a kind man but do not think he will be the same in court. He is aggressive as he can be in court and surprises everyone how he gains control of the courtroom instantly.

John has the solution to resolve miseries of all matrimonial displutes

I was having a very hard time getting my divorce case resolved and the Judge was constantly given a new complaint from the opposing side falsifying facts and manipulating every information they could at every appearance. Completely frustrated with this never ending misery I retained John. He knows hi...s stuff so well that from the get go he knew what had to be done and within six months my case settled and all issues put to rest. He is well respected and most importantly the Judge on my case was willing to hear my side. John has a great team behind him - David, Eva, Nancy. If someone is looking for a quick and just resolution to their matrimonial matter John is the solution. HIRE HIM. Thank you John, David and team.

Custody specialist

Mr Gemelli was the perfect lawyer for me. I needed an aggressive intelligent well versed on the law take control attorney. He was knowledgeable and forthright with me. I am extremely happy I retained him.

The "King of Queens"

After 28 years, I am finally divorced. I have John to thank for this. My case was going nowhere and he got it on track. He knows everyone in the Queens court system, and it helps. After trying to settle the case with my wife, unsuccessfully (not his fault, but my wife is possessed), we had to endure ...14 days of trial over a period of two and a half years. John somehow got me through this, never loosing faith in my case. The final judgement was fair, although not all John and I had hoped for. Bottom line, I got what I needed. That is what matters. The "King of Queens" still reigns.
