Excellent job on Custody and Child Support Cases

John handled my custody case & child support case and fought for the best possible outcome on both. He advocated for me and my child strategically and ethically. Trust the process with John, and understand that being in famiy court takes time and patience. He knows which steps are most important, and... where to focus your energy. He knows the family and child support laws very well, and uses his instinct and experience to form strategy and prepare you for court. He will be your best advocate and will fight hard for you where it counts.

Guardian of Justice: John A. Gemelli, the Attorney Who Changed My Life for Better.

Hiring John Gemelli was the best decision I made during the challenging and scary 4.5 years of my custody battle. Facing the possibility of losing my kids to my ex-husband's full custody demands, I knew I needed the best attorney, even if it meant a significant financial commitment. Mr. Gemelli's pro...fessionalism, experience, and genuine care for every detail of my case set him apart. He approached my case with a focus on winning, and it showed. During the trial, I was amazed by his preparedness, professionalism, and his confident demeanor in court. Mr. Gemelli not only secured a favorable outcome for me but also ensured that my children's well-being was the top priority. Thanks to Mr. Gemelli, my kids now have both parents in their lives, and they can experience a happy and fulfilling life. I cannot thank him enough and wholeheartedly recommend him as the best attorney you could ever find.

Custody triumph

My daughter and myself were living a hellish exsistence. We had to get out. Wherever I went I was told that fathers, as a rule, don't get residential custodianship. I met Mr. Gemelli and he vowed to figure it out. The next day, we were out of there. My daugter went from drama to tranquility, overnigh...t. I'll never forget it. She, now at the age of 22, graduated from university and I am glad. Thankfully yours, Thomas

John Gemelli Excellent Lawyer

John Gemelli provided excellent legal services to me during a difficult divorce that involved both complex financial and family issues. Throughout the process Mr. Gemelli was always available and was very quick to reply to questions by both phone and e-mail. He was very knowledgeable and experience...d in all areas of the divorce process. My divorce involved complex financial issues as well as difficult family problems including substance abuse. Mr. Gemelli was very aware of the emotional toll of dealing with substance abuse issues and was able to focus on the issues and resolve problems in a professional manner while always keeping the needs of the children as the top priority. Hiring Mr. Gemelli was the smartest thing I did during a very difficult time. I would highly recommend Mr. Gemelli to anyone going through a complex and difficult divorce.

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 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!
