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.

John Gemelli is the best divorce attorney anyone could have. He is extremely passionate about his craft and clients and it shows in the way he executes his talents and knowledge of the law. John and his partner Josephine Marino not only settled my divorce in 11 months I was also able to relocate with... my children across the country. I walked away with the ability to restart my life and provide for my children both financially and emotionally. I will forever be grateful for John, Joseph’s and the entire team.

Hiring John resulted in the best outcome for me. He handled my difficult divorce with aplomb. His knowledge regarding divorce proceedings is unparalleled. The professionalism of John and all his colleagues and staff was top notch. It was like a team effort. I didn't just hire a great lawyer, I hired ...a great team. My particular divorce was long and arduous, but my team worked hard for me every step of the way. John hit a Grand Slam in my case. Thank You John!!

Endorsements need be an important consideration when selecting the right attorney. I was a father of a 2 1/2 yr old girl when I first hired Mr. Gemelli as my attorney for my divorce. My now ex wife and her attorney's constructed false allegations against me which including domestic violence and sex...ual abuse against my daughter to obtain custody. I was in dyer need of an honorable man to believe in me and take on the challenges of my adversary with her three attorney's at trial. Mr. Gemelli informed me that the complaints are easily made but very difficult to disprove. However, his superior knowledge of the law, his belief of my innocence and in the interest of justice for me and my daughter, the court granted Sole Legal Custody to the father of the child. God Bless Mr. Gemelli and his legal staff!!

I was represented by Mr. Gemelli in my divorce case. He was recommended by another Best Attorney in Manhattan to me. With great experience, Mr. Gemelli still approached my case with thorough preparation. In my case, I noticed that he adjusted himself during the time whenever he thought that it would ...be good for the result or would best benefit his client. He is very aggressive in representing his clients. My case would not have achieved anywhere near the current result without the hard work of Mr. Gemelli. My ex-husband is not reasonable; from time to time, he would attempt surreptitious and sometimes immoral actions in front of Mr. Gemelli. Recognizing what he was doing, Mr. Gemelli remained composed and still treated him in a professional manner. I also observed that Mr. Gemelli trained his associates in a very nice way. As a big attorney, he treated his associates respectfully and instructed them what to do with his expertise. On the other hand, aware that his rate is higher than his associates’, Mr. Gemelli was considerate and made it clear that in the training of his associates’ work, even when he was present, their rates should be used instead of his. All the above of Mr. Gemelli’s professionalism won me great respect. I highly recommend Mr. Gemelli to anybody who is looking for a stellar matrimonial attorney.
