Thank You !

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

A Stellar Matrimonial Attorney

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.

Excellent Attorney

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!!

Custody triumph

My daughter and myself were living a hellish exsistence. We had to get out. Wherever I went I was told that fathers, as a rule, don't get residential custodianship. I met Mr. Gemelli and he vowed to figure it out. The next day, we were out of there. My daugter went from drama to tranquility, overnigh...t. I'll never forget it. She, now at the age of 22, graduated from university and I am glad. Thankfully yours, Thomas

Happy family man

Thank you Mr Gemelli for your help and guidance thur a hard time for my children and myself. I went into my divorce with no idea what to expect and no one close to tell me because most of friends and family are married. So when I say having John as my lawyer was more then I could have hoped for. I al...so know that divorce cost money and of course that what everyone talks about but at any point did I feel that money was the in the forefront. John is kind of man that you feel you are taking to one of you friends you can call him on his cell or text him and always get a response. His associates and his office staff was very helpful and pleasant. One last thing about John is that if you are getting divorced in Queens there is no better don't have to take my word for it just go to court house and see the mayor in action. My case went on for 2 years because of the effects of hurricane Sandy but in the end John Gemelli got me keep my children and my home intact and I am grateful that from a bad situation had the best results for my family. Would refer him to anyone but after all other options to keep it together failed.
