Peter J Banfe Jr

Many years ago, I had the misfortune of going through a divorce and the pleasure of meeting Mr. Peter Banfe. At the time, he was an up and coming divorce attorney assisting my main attorney. Fast forward a few years and I had suspicions about my ex-wife co-habitating with a man, which was against our... original property settlement agreement. After a short period of time, my ex-wife decides to remarry - hence, no more alimony and child support and no need to take her back to court to repeal the PSA. My immediate thought was to contact Peter and I am glad that I did. He sat with me during our consultation and explained the pros and cons of pursuing the direction of my case. He managed the process efficiently and once the marriage announcement was made, he discussed the relevant terms of the PSA with me that required communicating to the court/judge. It was done efficiently and punctually - everything worked out and as for me, I am not only happy at the closing of the chapter, but in the decision to retain Peter for his guidance, his expertise and his consultations.

I contacted and hired Pete to draft a prenuptial agreement. He was straightforward throughout the entire process, beginning with the initial phone call and in person consultation through the signing and execution of the agreement. He told me what to expect throughout the process in the initial consul...tation and he was true to his word. The agreement he prepared was very well written and incorporated everything I requested. His fee was very fair, reasonable and competitive, with no hidden charges or excessive billing. Pete was very responsive throughout the entire process and easy to reach through email and phone calls. I would not hesitate to hire Pete again and I highly recommend him.

After representing me with the utmost professionalism during my divorce, when an issue arose 6 years later Pete was able to assist me in handling the situation. As he had done initially, Pete provided guidance and shared every idea he had to help ensure a positive outcome for me. Pete would be my f...irst call in the event of any future events where legal advice or counsel for a family law situation is needed.

We first consulted Pete for a step parent adoption. From the first hello to the last goodbye after court Pete remained professional, diligent, and dedicated to ensuring all our questions were answered. He fought for us to get answers and keep the case on track. Adoptions in the state of N.J. are a lo...ng process but Pete kept us informed throughout the entire journey. He turned what could have been an awful experience into an amazingly simple and stress free adoption. I would recommend him to anyone seeking matters in Family Law.

I do not write many reviews but I felt I should help others who are looking for a top notch NJ matrimonial lawyer, and Mr. Peter Banfe Jr. deserves recognition. My divorce matter was extremely complex and lasted several years, yet Peter remained diligent, supporting and we worked as a team toward ach...ieving successful results. Peter Banfe Jr is a highly recommended matrimonial lawyer!
