Had a free phone consultation with Jonathan Shalom. He’s was very professional and honest. Gave me great advise. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Contrary to a few negative reviews, I to, in the beginning thought Mr. Gemelli was only after my money because I didn’t understand the system. After spending over 3.5 years back and forth in court, adjourned dates, settlement meetings, the court not stepping in, I realized it wasn't my attorney - it's the system and my ex manipulating that system. Mr. Gemelli is definitely one of the most straightforward and candid individuals I have come in contact with. That doesn't mean he doesn't care, it means he's cut throat at getting what is right when representing his clients. When going through a divorce, the emotional side takes over and Mr. Gemelli keeps it real, as hard as it is to hear. Mr. Gemelli kept me focused, allowed me to have a temper tantrum but always kept me in check.... tough love if you will. Sometimes what he was saying wasn't always easy to hear and we didn’t always see eye-to-eye but he knows the law and not every divorce is a win win. There is give and take along with negotiating to the bitter end. Mr. Gemelli is very well respected by his peers, judges, law clerks, his staff and his family. If you are looking for hand holding, find another attorney. If you want what is rightfully yours by the law in a divorce, hire Mr. Gemelli. Don't expect him to be in touch with you on every email or inquiry that’s why he has a staff that works under him to maintain the day-to-day. He's a pit bull in the courtroom should your case make it to trial and can close a deal hands down. I went to the very end with my negotiations and yes, I had to cave on things that were smaller in comparison to the big picture but without the guidance and expertise of Mr. Gemelli and his colleague, David Gross, I wouldn’t be where I am today. No one said divorce was easy so you have to decide pit bull or hand holding!

John Gemelli is brilliant. He is honest, he listens, he is efficient and extremely effective. I am forever grateful to him!

professional honest Excellent team very informative Very realistic

Extremely nice. He gave me a free legal consultation over the phone while he was driving. Very helpful, would definitely work with him in the future. It's nice to find an attorney who actually cares!

I had the good fortune to chance upon Jonathan’s firm while looking for an employment attorney to handle a wrongful termination case. While I was given the run around talking to previous offices and led astray, Jonathan was extraordinarily helpful and informative and guided me in the right direction without wasting my time or money. If you want an honest attorney (I know that can be an oxymoron) to support you, you would be making a worthwhile decision in hiring Jonathan. Professional, knowledgeable and amiable, he is the kind of advocate you want representing you.

Jonathan He has the ability to overcome the opponent where he stayed 6 hours arguing opponents, a corperation company until we won the case

John Gemelli handled my case VERY UNPROFESSIONALLY and was UNRESPONSIVE, ARROGANT & DISRESPECTFUL He lacks total integrity or abides by the Code of Ethics. My review shall mimic almost the same experience & sentiments as indicated in the review written by DFE. In my opinion, Unfortunately I too retained Gemelli for my divorce which lasted over 2 years. He did not represent me as he indicated he would prior to me retaining him. Once retained and he got my money, after just a few meetings his whole attitude changed. Almost immediately he started not returning my calls and blatantly disregarded my questions & concerns. I believe my divorce was delayed and greatly affected by his actions & lack there of. He exhibited some of the same unprofessional behavior stated in the previous review written by DFE. I feel I was not represented effectively by him and his lack of providing the services he said he would perform, caused me additional hardship, financial burden and much undue stress. Anyone seeking a lawyer should do their due diligence. Personally, I could not have been more disgusted, extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with my choice.

Extremely professional and resilient attorney. Highly recommend !

Johnathan was extremely helpful with his counsel. He is factual and extremely detailed oriented. He's a consumate professional who's well versed in employment law and seeks to ensure that his clients expectations are met under the provisions of the law. I will definately use him in the future and I highly recommend his services. Thank you Johnathan!!

I came seeking the counsel of Shalom Law while my business was working to bring on it's first investor. I thought I would be swimming in paperwork and legal jargon for months on end but Jonathan made the process easy, educating and exciting. He took the time to explain every aspect of the deal in clear language that anyone could understand, walking me through the small details that could make a huge difference in a contract. Jonathan was excellent throughout the whole process and did not give up till he got what was best for his client. His sharp mind (and style) really lend to his extreme credibility as a lawyer. I would highly recommend Shalom Law for any corporate legal counsel. His dedication and fortitude are unmatched and I am so pleased that I chose Shalom Law who successfully guided me into making a great deal with my first investor! Thank you again for all your help. Looking forward to working together in the future!
