Class Act!!!!

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.

Navigating through a divorce can be an incredibly overwhelming and stressful experience, but having the right legal representation can turn this daunting process into something much more manageable, allowing you to concentrate on your future. I was fortunate to have John A. Gemelli and Howard Teichne...r represent me during my high-conflict divorce case. John and Howard stood out as exceptional advocates, demonstrating calm preparedness throughout a lengthy and challenging litigation process. Their expertise and deep understanding of the law were invaluable to me. They consistently maintained a reassuring presence and exhibited respect and professionalism in and out of the courtroom. Their ability to keep me focused and their commitment to my case handled with genuine care and timely attention made a significant difference. I wholeheartedly recommend John and his team to anyone in need of dedicated and trustworthy attorneys to navigate the complexities of divorce, especially when facing complex legal custody issues. I found myself up against an unyielding ex-husband regarding custody matters, but with John and Howard's tireless efforts, I successfully secured sole legal custody. Their relentless work ethic, meticulous attention to detail, and extensive legwork were instrumental in my case. While the process may seem lengthy and challenging, having the right advocates by your side makes all the difference. Choosing John and his team is a decision you won’t regret. They are your golden ticket.

Best Lawyer

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.
