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.

I recently worked with John A. Gemelli, and I’m so glad I chose him to help me through my divorce. Let’s be honest, going through something like this is never easy, but John really made the process so much less stressful. From our first meeting to the final resolution, he was professional, knowledgea...ble, and always made me feel like my needs were his top priority. Not only is John an expert in his field, but he’s also incredibly kind and understanding. He made a difficult time a little easier to handle, and for that, I’m so grateful. If you’re going through a divorce and need someone you can rely on, I highly recommend John A. Gemelli.

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!

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!!

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.
