Exceptional Divorce Attorney – Strategic, Compassionate, and Results-Driven

Choosing Peter Banfe Jr. to represent me was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He brought an extraordinary level of professionalism, deep legal expertise, and genuine compassion to every stage of my divorce and post-divorce motions. What could have been an overwhelming and emotionally drai...ning process was made manageable thanks to Peter’s clear guidance, consistent communication, and unwavering support. He was always responsive, thoughtful, and proactive—qualities that made a real difference during a difficult time. Peter is not only incredibly knowledgeable; he’s also strategic, detail-oriented, and fully committed to securing the best possible outcome. I always felt heard, respected, and confident in his ability to navigate the complexities of my case with precision and care. In a crowded legal field, Peter Banfe Jr. stands out as a true advocate. His ability to handle complex legal issues with clarity, empathy, and results-driven focus sets him apart. If you're searching for a highly skilled divorce attorney who truly cares about his clients and delivers exceptional results, I wholeheartedly recommend Peter Banfe Jr. Whether you're facing a contested divorce, custody challenges, or post-divorce modifications, Peter is the advocate you want by your side.

Exactly the Advocate I Needed

I honestly don’t know how I would’ve gotten through my divorce without Pete. From day one, he was professional and completely in my corner. It was one of the most difficult times in my life, and I definitely got emotional at times, but he was always empathetic and never made me feel judged. What I ap...preciated most was that he didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear. If I was headed in a direction that was not in my best interest, he told me, but always in a kind and respectful way. He explained things clearly, gave me solid, honest advice, and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for everything Pete did. He made a really tough process feel manageable. I highly recommend him.

Highly recommend Pete Banfe

I highly recommend Pete! I have used his services twice. First time was about 10 years ago during my divorce. The second time was this year, when he was able to get my alimony permanently terminated. Some observations: - Pete is a good guy and very personable - He knows the law, and as importan...tly, he knows the judges and how the courts operate - He will thoroughly prep for litigation, but will seek to negotiate a satisfactory solution without having to go to court - He will be totally honest with you. He will let you know when the law is on your side and when it is against you. - He will let you know the strength of your case and recommend actions to make it stronger - He will inform you of the tradeoffs with proceeding with litigation versus settling - He will listen to your input and answer all of your questions - While he can't guarantee a result, he will try to give you an estimate of the probability of each of the potential outcomes. Sometimes this is dependent on the judge hearing the case I was very satisfied with his representation!

Sets realistic expectations and delivers

I hired Pete Banfe to help me with a custody order modification, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and the experience. From the very beginning, Pete was clear and realistic about expectations, which I really appreciated. His communication was excellent—he was timely in responding to ema...ils, kept me informed throughout the process, and stayed on top of every deadline. What stood out most was how thoroughly he prepared for every stage of the case. Pete is thoughtful, strategic, and considers all possible scenarios, which gave me a great deal of confidence going into the hearing. His approach is collaborative—he truly listened to my suggestions and made me feel like a partner in the process. Pete negotiated effectively with opposing counsel and helped me achieve a result that other attorneys had told me wasn’t possible. After initially hiring a family law attorney at Archer & Greiner who said it couldn’t be done, Pete delivered. I highly recommend Pete Banfe to anyone needing a skilled, responsive, and dedicated family law attorney. He’s the kind of advocate you want in your corner.

Thank you for your kind response. I am so glad we were able to work together to achieve a good result in your matter. Most importantly, I'm so happy that you'll be able to spend that much more time with your son. Collaborating from the outset on a realistic strategy was key. I really value all of the feedback and input. Thank you and I wish you and your family the very best.
