Divorce 2012

Mr. Muriello was compassionate and reasonable on how to get an abusive spouse to back off and work with the legal steps needed to free myself from the broken marriage. It's been a decade and I am still very thankful.

The best law firm around!

Gerry Muriello was brilliant in his representation of me. He is very intelligent and was forceful when the situation called for it (court hearings or negotiations), but is also very thoughtful and compassionate. Mr. Muriello is honest, trustworthy and very straight forward. In unvarnished truth, he... will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never losing sight of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. He is always on top of the game and never misses a deadline. His administrative assistant J.D. is amazing, and very knowledgeable. She was beyond generous towards me with her time and thoughts towards my case. While working with Mr. Muriello, I felt as though my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands, and he did not steer me wrong. I believe that he truly understood my issue and the intricacies involved. I would highly recommend Gerry to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Gerry fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks guys!!!

I found him to be knowledgeable on the law, as well as the matters that were important to his client. He was a strong advocate for his client's position."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Gerry and I have handled several matters together. In my experience, if he says it, he means it. He if says it will be done, consider it done. He will not hide the 8 ball and create issues where there are none. Additionally, his breadth of knowledge in other areas is conducive to handling a variety of issues."

"Gerry was opposing counsel in a very contentious post-divorce relocation matter. I was impressed with the way he spotted the issues at hand, communicated with his client, and presented his side of the case to the judge. Even in the most difficult cases Gerry remains professional and his client's benefit from it. I can definitely endorse Gerry."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have litigated several family law cases where Mr. Muriello represented the opposing party. He was very professional and prepared to address the issues between the litigants. We have been able to resolve several family law cases without the need for trial, and the clients appeared to be satisfied with the resolution of their respective cases."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I recently litigated a divorce case against Gerry and I was very impressed with his knowledge of the law and his effectiveness as a lawyer. It was refreshing to work against and with a family lawyer that recognizes it is about helping a client and a family through an extremely difficult time and not about the lawyers involved in the case or their egos. Gerry sees the problems and works to resolve them. I highly recommend Gerry for any Divroce or Child Custody issue."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Public Reprimand issued in FL, 2011

updated on 06/19/2012

Public reprimand means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Gerard’s comment:

“I was reprimanded for misconduct by The Florida Bar for failing to comply with one of the terms of my admission. This violation was in no way related to the practice of law. I have always represented my clients with competence, caring, and compassion. Please refer to the Client Reviews and Attorney Endorsements here on my profile, and you will see that I am well respected by those I have represented as well as by collegues in the community.”
