Mr dujmic is the person you want on your side if you’re going through a rough custody battle. He came onto the case after 2 years of nothing happening and got things moving right away. He does not let the other side get away with nonsense. He fights for his clients. He’s always available when needed. He is a great lawyer and will give you the best advice. If you want results hire mr dujmic you won’t be disappointed.
Understood my specific situation and was able to obtain a reasonable settlement in my divorce. My accounting record keeping was poor and the divorce was dragged out for a long time, but he has a sense of what the court would ultimately do.
I am an experienced, aggressive and caring advocate who prides myself on being responsive to my clients (an email or phone call will be returned by the end of the business day) and providing the best legal representation at an affordable rate. With thousands of hours in court proceedings and having successfully tried hundreds of cases, there is nothing that I have not seen as an attorney. I am also highly respected by the Judges and the legal community based on my skills, effectiveness and demeanor.

Best Lawyer
Joe is the best in this field. He tells you like it is and looks out for you in ways you couldn't think of. I had 2 other consultations before hiring Joe, and I don't regret a second of it.
He and his team are always there for you 24/7 and treat you like a friend/family.
He is trustworthy, but also a shark in the waters when it comes to justice and the truth in and out of the courtroom.
I am forever thankful to him.

Underrated Legal Advisor
So my ex-wife was seeking to cause me hardship by filing a frivolous restraining order and also restricting my contact with my boys. I was at my wits end. My current wife suggested I stop the shannanigans and hire an attorney. Up to that point, I had been representing myself but the time had come for more firepower. My wife recommended I go see an attorney she faced several years prior that represented her ex. She stated that this lawyer gave her hell. So I searched and found the firm. This is where I met Joseph Dujmic. He was very straight forward and provided me with the assurance I needed in dealing with my legal issues. Though he wasn’t the attorney I thought I’d be meeting with, Dujmic was quite knowledgeable and confident in his position. He would eventually become a partner at the firm, so I was definitely in good hands. In addition, he’d been through similar challenges having been divorced with children as well. So, I knew he could relate. I think what was really impressive was how well he knew the judges at the court house. He was professionally friendly with many of them since he spent most of his time there. In the end, I was able to get the restraining order reduced to a “refrain from” order for six months and my visitation time was increased significantly. I’m guessing that when I stepped into court with Dujmic as my legal representative, the judge saw in me someone who was serious about being a part of his children lives. She (magistrate Mariber) even stated several times how I had a good attorney, so I knew it would turn out well....and it did. I’ll never understand men who concede the fight to be in their children lives because of a vindictive ex. You have the power to fix that as long as you’re committed. With attorneys like Dujmic, it’s possible. Of course it’s not cheap but they will work with you as long as you’re committed.

He’s Simply the Best!!
Throughout my case I witnessed joe’s experience knowledge expertise and wisdom which was instrumental in the success of my case. Joe provided me with all scenarios of what I would expect, and I always felt ready to handle what would come my way. Even in my moments of feeling worried or nervous Joe stood by me and calmed my fears.
There is no doubt in my mind that truly had the best lawyer standing by me during a really difficult time and I would recommend Joe in heartbeat.
Thank you Joe for always giving your best! I am so grateful to you!!

Joe, and the firm he is with (John A. Gemelli, P.C.), came highly recommended to me by a friend who is herself a highly regarded attorney. (She called them "The Kings of Queens".) After meeting with Joe at his office for a consultation, I hired him on the spot for a case we had involving ACS. Having been an employee with ACS years before, Joe was very knowledgeable about the department, their tactics, their administrative policies, etc... and how best to handle the whole situation. I also found Joe very easy to work with, sympathetic, reassuring, confident, aggressive when necessary but not overly so, timely with his responses to my inquiries, and very reachable via both phone and email. I didn't have a lot of dealings with the support staff, but the few I interacted with were professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend Joe. It was a difficult time for our family, and he made it much better and the case was eventually "vacated."

You're in great hands with Joe
I hired Joe in June 2016 to represent me in a custody and child support case in Queens. After having another attorney in the past, I could see a clear difference between what its like to have the best on your team versus an average lawyer - and Joe is the best. He meticulously preps for your case and comes to court knowing every aspect of it, and thinks fast on his feet to come up with the best response every time. He helped me win my case against an upward modification of child support, and helped me get more time with my daughter in the custody case. He's personable, tells it like it is, and when its called for, he can be a aggressive and tough in court in a great way - just what you need when you're fighting for your rights in court. Highly recommended!

Life Saver
Joe was everything I needed in a lawyer before I even knew what I needed. I thought the whole process was going to be much simpler but Joe saw three moves ahead and when it got bad it was so much easier because of Joe’s expertise. Joe was accessible and his advise and counsel was insightful, intuitive and impressive. He gave me all the information I needed in perfect context. I know he was always there for me and continued to have an interest in me and my kids after the case was over. He is smart, compassionate and has a deep knowledge of all aspects of the law. I hope I never need him again but if anything happens he will be my first call.

The right choice in a difficult time
The last call you ever think or want to make is to a divorce attorney, but if you find yourself in that situation call Joe.
I called Joe when I discovered my ex-spouse was cheating on me. When confronted, the response was, "I don't want anything and just wanted out." Joe gave very sage and compassionate advice to help me begin the transition towards separation. While at first amicable, he was preparing me in case the situation turned adversarial legally, financially and emotionally.
When my spouse's feelings changed and decided to go after everything (and I mean everything) Joe knew how to negotiate with opposing counsel and present the right factual arguments to the Judges (there were two) in order to influence the best outcome. This knowledge comes from his years of experience and almost telepathic knowledge of what opposing counsel will do, and the Judge will most likely say. In the end he saved me a great amount of money, but more importantly gave me the gift of time.
If you are looking for an attorney to get you through the hardest time in your life; hire Joe.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Joe and I first met on a very difficult case. It was an acrimonious and complex divorce. There was extensive motion practice and many appearances. Years of litigation had taken place. When Joe came into the case, he got up to speed very quickly and we were able to set the parties' differences aside and settle the case, much to everyone's surprise. We were so impressed with Joe's ability, intuition, and advocacy that, when there was an opening in our firm, he was the first person we sought."
