John A. Gemelli

After mediation fell apart, I realized I needed a divorce lawyer. I interviewed many and all appeared impressive at first, telling me what I thought I wanted to hear. Then I met John Gemelli. He listened, and asked questions no one else had. He quickly applied his wisdom and vast experience, and ...he was honest. He didn’t waste my time, yet he was always available when I needed advice. Mr Gemelli kept every promise that he made. He succeeded in diffusing a volatile situation and simplifying all the complexities. I watched him talk my ex’s lawyer into agreement. In the end, we did not have to go to trial, and Mr Gemelli got me everything my son and I needed. The best decision I’ve ever made was hiring Mr Gemelli. He gave me back my life.

I am extremely grateful to John Gemelli, a very determined lawyer who shows great perseverance. John has helped me overcome many obstacles of my complicated case. I really admire how he is not afraid to speak his mind and is always ready to help me when I am in need. John hears out and addresses any ...concerns his clients may have, and it is evident that client satisfaction is his top priority. I really appreciated John’s help in fighting my case and I do not hesitate recommending him.

A lawyer's lawyer. The best! Tenacious and pugnacious. Pit bull -but only as necessary. John prosecuted my case, one of the most hotly contested cases in NY for over 10 years. Words can't convey my gratitude or describe the results. Technical knowledge, yes of course. Trial skills-beyond compare (a...nd I've seen a lot). Common sense, business acumen, intuitive and gut level common sense -check. Have a tough one...this is your man.

Mr, Gemelli appeared very late for our first court hearing and instead sent his associate who was unfamiliar with my case. They tried to push me to make an agreement with the opposition on the spot without prior discussion. My case was essentially then handed over to his associate without a discussi...on with me. I did not feel well represented so I fired the firm and found a new lawyer.

80% of my meetings were postponed or cancelled at the last minute. I was told they didn't have any time for a meeting within 30 days to discuss a motion we needed to file within 30 days. Phone calls and emails are not returned. John Gemelli says "I don't do handholding" and that is an understatement....
