There aren't enough stars above to describe him - HIRE JOHN GEMELLI

My attorney passed away three weeks before my divorce trial after 4 years of waiting. My soon to be ex wanted life time maintenance and then 10 years. My friend referred me to John, All I can say is that if John was my attorney from the beginning I would have been divorced that much sooner. He is ext...remely knowledgeable in matrimonial litigation. He is a tough as nails negotiator and a great court litigator, whom I saw that my Judge greatly respected. He also has a real office behind him; great associates and Eva his paralegal. The office pulled out all the stops to get up to speed in a short period of time, and John got my case settled for 40% of the term for a lot less per year than defendant wanted in maintenance, with no additional financial obligations to me. A win-win. But make no mistake, if the case did not settle for what John felt was fair, he was ready to and would have tried it and I had faith in him doing so. John and his staff were also in constant communication with me. IF YOU NEED A DIVORCE LAWYER ---- HIRE JOHN A. GEMELLI

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. I met Mr. Gemelli over 15 years ago when we were adversaries on a case. Since then we have had numerous other matters. He is an fantastic negotiator, and a highly skilled litigator. There are very few attorneys that I have witnessed in the last 21 years that are as knowledgable and can navigate through a courtroom like he does.
