The only lawyer you will need!!!!

Dear Friends In Need Of Legal Counsel, I'd like to let you know about my experience with John Gemelli.  John came to me highly recommended through a good friend as a "Pit Bull" in the court room.  I of course, being the girl from CT assumed everyone played nice in the sandbox, and couldn't be happ...ier I hired John and his legal team to represent me.  Watching him in his element in court was like watching an Oscar nominated performance and sitting on the edge of your seat.   My ex played dirty from day one and my only concern is and was protecting my three children.  This legal team understood my concerns, listened to me cry (and yes brought me back to reality which I needed) , and assessed the situation and dealt with it.  Unfortunately, my other half would not settle so I was forced to go to trial for 8 days and at every turn John was prepared and took charge!  During this long process I ran into massive financial issues and John stuck with me through it all, and my children and i will be forever in his debt. The process is just that, a process - it's our legal system and nothing happens immediately. So yes, it gets frustrating, but in the end, hiring the proper legal team will protect you and your family.  That's what John Gemelli did for me and will do for you.

John Gemelli is an expert matrimonial attorney and champion of children's rights.

John Gemelli is an expert in the field of matrimonial law. He is a champion for the rights of children. My son is severely disabled. Initially, my ex did not want to help me support him. John's tenacity in fighting for everything that our son needed from therapy to tutoring has allowed our son to s...oar in life. He is an expert trial attorney with a great track record of success. John and his staff paid attention to every detail of my case. John is an excellent trial attorney and had command of the court room when he appeared on my case. John was relentless in the court room to fight for my son's rights. His junior staff attorney Emily Walsh was patient and had an exceptional gift for communicating every detail of my case. They answered over 100 e-mails. Her communication and patience with my ex along with John's expertise and command of the court room was priceless. John's support staff including his investigator helped me to get excellent results in my divorce .I highly recommend John!
