John A. Gemelli

In 2021 I met with a lawyer who advised me that my case (divorce/criminal) was a web of a mess and that my case deserved a lawyer who was professioned in such cases and who was aggressive. The lawyer she referred me to was Mr. John Gemelli at Gemelli, Gross, Shapiro & Marino. She had directed me t...o John Gemelli because she knew that he and his team (Erica & Howard) could get me out of the mess I was wrongly brought into. That decision to hire John & his team was the best decision of my life! He is not only wonderfully professional but he listened to each and every word I said! He never told me what I “wanted” to hear but guided me with thorough knowledge of the legal system as to the approach that we needed to take as a team. His constant guidance and expertise brought me to the justice that I sought for so very long. I’d been through numerous lawyers in the duration of 7 years during this challenging time! John was the only one out of multiple law firms I’d hired who actually got me to where I needed to be! John never told me what I wanted to hear. He was blunt & factually honest. He is a man of his word and I cannot say enough about him & his firm! Solid, reliable, honest and a force to be reckoned with. Both aggressive and tough in the arena yet a warm side with a heart of gold. I will say that he is hard on his clients and I understand today why he is the way he is. Again, fact and truth, he toughened me up to face this difficult challenge ahead. He would always say “separate the emotion, I need to get you out of this and I need you to get tough”. He gave me the strength to persevere for myself & my daughters. Because of his tough demeanor, he strengthened me for the biggest fight of both mine and my children’s lives. My case wasn’t only matrimonial, it was criminal. I married a person who committed white collar crime which included criminal, forgery and identity theft that at the time was unbeknownst to me. John & his team specialized in all the areas that my case required. As they dug into my case it became deeper and deeper; a web of crime and lies like I’ve seen in movies! Preplanned and premeditated! His firm knew without hesitation the ins and outs of this offense. Anything that they didn’t handle outside of law, they sourced and directed me to the correct contacts. My calls were always taken no matter what was going on in their lives. I will forever be grateful and indebted with much admiration until the day I die to Mr. John Gemelli & his team at Gemelli, Gross, Shapiro & Marino. Thank you John, my children & I now see the light at the end of what was a very long dark tunnel.

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 can confidently say that Mr. Gemelli was the best choice as the lawyer for my divorce. He first and foremost is a caring and compassionate human being before being a confident and efficient lawyer—a true master of his trade. He always answered any and every question I had, and graciously provided m...e with his personal cell number for direct access. He confidently and flawlessly accomplishes his client’s desires and best interests in the court room. He is well loved and known by all, there isn’t a security guard, judge or staff member in the court that doesn’t know him on a close level and a favorable way. I am eternally grateful to John for the support and representation he provided me during the most difficult time in my life. Should you find yourself in a divorce, he’s definitely the man for the job!

John Gemelli is a true class act; a man full of honesty and professionalism. Mr. Gemelli represented me in court due to an unfortunate series of events with my ex husband. Through out the entire process, Mr. Gemelli remained knowledgeable, empathetic, and professional. From Our first meeting, I knew ...that I can trust him. Through a series of 5 years with visiting the court room, he was the ONLY attorney who was able to represent me properly. Not only was I represented, I was also assured. I had a daily assurance that everything would be okay and with that, I was put at ease. His frankness, tenacity, and expertise is non comparable to any other attorneys I have ever dealt with. A good attorney hears your words, Mr. Gemelli understands them, and fights for what is set to be your rightful justice.- Zhanna

Mr Gemelli represented me in my divorce (custody support distribution) case. Mr Gemelli and his excellent staff worked extremely hard on my case. Mr Gemelli was able to delegate aspects of my case to his experienced staff and was able to keep me well informed of every aspect of the case during this ...difficult time. At Trial Mr Gemelli presented the evidence and was able to Cross Examine my husband about our children and finances. Mr Gemelli was prepared and argued my case with passion and zeal. While John does not have the best bedside manner, his staff and knowledgeable Assiciates were able to assist me in the most difficult times of my life. My end result was well over 70% of the reported marital assets. I would not have gotten such fantastic representation anywhere else. Thank you Mr Gemelli!!
