Its important to note that this is my first written review ever. It points to the fact that I sincerely recommend John and his amazing staff wholeheartedly as they did a top notch job in handling my divorce. From the very beginning, he demonstrated professionalism, provided clear guidance and a deepunderstanding of the legal process. It was a very long and somewhat painful process. All the while I felt confident and well-represented during this challenging time in my life. Given the circumstances, he made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. 5 stars is not enough!

I was referred to John Gemelli from a trusted friend and I can say that I have no regrets. John was an exceptional attorney who guided me through a difficult time with professionalism and expertise. He was incredibly knowledgeable, always well-prepared, and provided a strategic approach that helped me feel secure and confident. I highly recommend John to anyone seeking a dedicated, trustworthy attorney to navigate their divorce.

The law office of Isaac Abraham I must say is absolutely the best. Cases that this office represented in two incident were both dismissed immediately. No need to take off to go to court. Well worth the money spent. The impressive dismissal was actually today November 15th, 2024. A case for Rckless driving. Case was dismissed with in the DMV Dept as well as the criminal aspect. A 5 point ticket dismissed. Appreciate your service and will certainly recommend this office with a 5 star rating.

John Gemelli represented me in my extremely difficult divorce. Over the three years that it took he always took every call, was completely available when not in court and is the most brilliant legal mind you can have on your side. Hire him. Hire his partners. They are excellence personified and will get you through all the hard times pertaining to your case.

I started the divorce process with another lawyer. I was very unhappy with his service. I was referred to John Gemelli. I am so glad that I made the change. John was excellent. Josephine was the main attorney on my case. Josephine is a star. My divorce was a long arduous process due to a business appraisal. Josephine was always extremely responsive, honest and gave me tough love when I needed it. I am very happy with the deal that we made. I’d recommend Josephine Marino, John Gemelli and the entire staff to anyone in need of divorce attorneys, you will be in great hands! Thank you!

I've used Adelina for the purchase and sale of my co-op and she was so helpful during the entire process. It was my first time purchasing a property and she was very patient, answered all my questions and kept me updated and informed during the entire process. I reccomended her to my parents as well. They used her for the purchase of their own co-op and they had the same experience as I did. She makes you feel very comfortable and at ease during, what can be a very stressful time. If I make another real-estate purchase I'll use her legal services again for sure.

I have a Tenant who went from ok to really bad, stopped paying rent when asked to vacate property in October 2021. So had no choice else than evicting them. Mr. Naveed is a great help. He advised me not to get into nitty gritty, he simply asked me do i need to get the money or get the house . I wanted house so he recommended and moved with holdover case. We got judgement our favor in November and we already have warrants of eviction which can be executed, in case they don't move out by given date. So probably sheriff will have to evict them. Thanks Mr. Naveed.

I am very thankful for Naveed. I had a commercial eviction case that started before covid. The tenant refused to pay and dragged the case on for almost four years. After 2 unsuccessful lawyers, I found Naveed. He was incredibly knowledgeful about the process as well as how to handle the tenant lawyer and judge in a manner that allowed us to be successful. He knew the fastest and the most efficient way to end the case and that was all I was looking for.

I hired Mr. Greenberg to represent me. My initial consult with Mr. Greenberg left me feeling assured and confident because of his honesty and expertise about my case. I had problems years ago that, would have been seen by the public and unless I received the best possible outcome would not be sealed. While I don’t know how Mr. Greenberg was able to remove the current charge; the consequence of which my previous cases can now be removed, Mr Greenberg successfully got me an outcome I never could have imagined. Mr. Greenberg cares bottom line. Thank you Mr. Greenberg so very very much!

Rebecca helped get me divorced from a man that was no longer living in the United States. Rebecca is very knowledgeable in her field, I felt comfortable asking questions and she explained everything that was to be expected in great detail. I never felt like I didn't know what was going on and she kept me updated on everything that was happening along the way. I could always call or email her and got a quick response.

Sorry for the late review. I purchased a property at the end of 2018 through Nathan. I found Nathan on internet based on good reviews. I was skeptical at the beginning, but decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. Nathan is very experienced, professional, patient and kind. He charges reasonable fees and is always patient to answer any of my questions. Everything was smooth. If I ever buy or sell another property I will definitely come back to him. He is the man to trust. He earned his reputation. You won’t regret working with him. Thank you Nathan!

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
