Change in Jurisdiction

Mr. Banfe is a lawyer who will go above and beyond for his clients. He carefully does his research, asks all of the necessary questions, and gets the job done in a quick and efficient manner. I presented Mr. Banfe with a very hopeless, lengthy, and complex child custody case from South Carolina in Au...gust 2020 and asked that he represent me in having New Jersey claim jurisdiction. Mr. Banfe did the impossible and had jurisdiction changed in October 2020. I am forever grateful for his compassion, knowledge, and expertise as this has been life-changing for myself and my three and five year old boys. If you need legal representation and need someone with a fierce dedication to his clients then Mr. Banfe is exactly the lawyer for the job!!!

Don't use ANYONE else - don't be a dummy!

If you're reading this - stop. Pick up the phone. Call Pete Banfe's office. You will not regret it. I hired Pete Banfe and it was among the best decisions I've ever made. I literally don't know where to start. Do I begin with his strategic take on reading between the lines and thinking 2-3 ste...ps ahead so you don't say the wrong thing now and cause a problem later? How about his extreme responsiveness in getting back to you very quickly during highly emotional times? Or the patience to listen and carefully incorporate things important to you or to prioritize the items needed? Very understanding of the highly sensitive situations that divorce/custody entail and the ability to get the job done and get the right results....you get the idea. Stop reading. Call!

Excellent service

Pete Banfe has been the most reliable and professional attorney I could have hoped for. When I initially hired him he was compassionate and always came prepared and ready for anything that came our way. I have been using him for many issues over the years and have always felt confident that he has ha...d my best interests as the top priority.

Thank you for your kind words. I strive to be as available as I can be in each representation. I always try my best to advocate for the best result possible and I appreciate you recognizing that. Working together we have been able to achieve that. Your willingness to continue to hire me through the years as challenges arise is the best compliment I could receive.

Excellent lawyer!!!

When I found myself in the market for a divorce lawyer, I knew I had to hire a great one. I interviewed many lawyers before I found Pete Banfe. He was very knowledgeable and put together an excellent team for my benefit. He listened to me and my desires while advising me as to the law. He was kind a...nd always stuck to his task. I felt confident in his defense.He did an exceptional job in preparing an effective document .Pete made sure that I was compensated monetarily and with air- tight written document. My ex did not do what he was required to do so I had to contact him again and Pete handled the ugly aftermath as well. I would, without a doubt, recommend Mr. Banfe if you happen to find yourself in the need for a divorce lawyer.

Thank you so much for your kind words Debby. I truly appreciate the opportunity to have helped you through this difficult time. I am proud of what we were able to accomplish together. There is never any "one size fits all answer" in any representation. I feel that by me understanding what you wanted to achieve and what you wanted to avoid and you understanding the range of what the law will likely allow, we were able to collaborate on the best possible outcome that made sense for you and allowed you to move on with your life.

One of the best!

The best decision I could have made was to hire Pete Banfe. After meeting with him I knew he was the one I wanted to represent me. When my first lawyer failed to provided the service that was expected, I called Pete. I did not give Pete much time to prepare, but he took the case and got the job don...e. His staff was welcoming, friendly and efficient. They kept me informed and answered my phone calls and emails promptly. Peter was professional, knowledgeable and compassionate which helped calm a very stressful time. I felt confident in his ability to confront any obstacles that the opposing lawyer presented. He never backed down and made sure my interests were protected. He was firm with the negotiations without being rude. All of this resulted in a positive outcome for me. I would like to thank you for your professional manner in handling my case. I know that I would never have achieved the financial settlement without your help. Your friendly support and encouragement was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Pete Banfe to anyone who is looking for an exceptional lawyer to represent them. Pete is “One of the Best”!
