The Attorney you want on YOUR side!

I was lucky enough to have Pete as my divorce attorney. He wasn't just my attorney. He was my advisor through the entire process. I had a fairly complex divorce with the marital assets, my business, 3 children, and a very upset ex-wife. Needless to say, the assets were distributed equitable, my busin...ess remained untouched and I get to spend 50% of my time with my amazing kids! If I could sum his work up in 3 words....Realistic, aggressive, responsive. This process is tiring and stressful and you need someone like Pete on your side. I would recommend Pete Banfe as a legal advisor any day!

Thanks you for leaving this comment. I always value being as responsive to clients as I can be in any representation. I also always try to present as realistic of an assessment as I can as to what can be expected while also preparing to meet your objectives as best we can. I am so happy that you valued the advice given and I am humbled by your comments. Best of luck!

Truly great at what he does

Pete Banfe helped me with my child custody case. It has surely been a long road, however Pete was there every step of the way to help. He was very knowledgeable of law, court procedure, and understood what I was trying to accomplish. He was a true advocate for me and my child. Any document that came... in from court, Pete was quick to call me to go over it and ease my stress by explaining what it meant and discussing our next move. Let's be honest, court is never a fun event. He helped me to understand what my rights are, create a plan, plan b, and plan c, as well as counsel me on any future decisions. Having a plan always gave me a sense of relief and a piece of mind. While I know Pete had other clients, you would never think so with the individualized service he provides. Any curve ball that we were served, which there were many, he helped me handle with grace, diligence, and vigor. Pete is intelligent, compassionate, a great advisor, and much much more. He would be a great asset to anybody in a matrimonial or child custody matter! I highly recommend him!!! Pete- Thank you for everything you have done for us. You truly are great at what you do and during a time that was so stressful and trying, you helped me get through. I know you will be the same for so many other families like mine. Sincerely, Heather

Expertise, Integrity and Compassion.

It is no surprise to me that Pete was recognized as a rising star in Super Lawyers Magazine from 2009-2014 and voted "Awesome Attorney" in South Jersey Magazine in 2013. Two years ago, I hired Pete to represent me in a complicated and highly contentious divorce proceeding. It was an emotionally devas...tating experience for me and my son. Pete demonstrated the highest levels of expertise, integrity and compassion throughout the year-long battle. I was deeply impressed with Pete's expertise in matrimonial law. My ex-spouse hired two separate attorneys from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Undaunted by the barrage of legal diatribe, Pete never failed in his ability to know the law and defend my legal rights. His wise counsel, especially under duress, showcased his leadership skills and gave me complete confidence in his abilities. At one of the most vulnerable times in my life, Pete consistently demonstrated the highest levels of integrity. Our conversations were always respectful and honest. He immediately contacted me with relevant details of my case and worked collaboratively with me in all decisions. It was not unusual for him to go the extra mile and call me on the weekend to make sure that we were fully prepared for the upcoming week. Finally, Pete has great compassion. Over the course of a tumultuous year, he was patient, understanding and genuinely concerned about my family's well-being. At the end of every phone call, he always asked how my son was doing. On the night of the final hearing, he even called to make sure that we were okay. As a matrimonial attorney, Pete understands how strenuous divorce can be and he always had my back. Pete Banfe is not just an amazing attorney, he is one of the most fundamentally decent human beings I have ever known. I credit Pete with saving me from decades of financial ruin and heartache. I enthusiastically recommend Pete Banfe to anyone going through the agony of divorce.
