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.

Prenuptial Agreement

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.

He created a framework that represented my best interests. Peter listened, asked questions and responded to my needs. He kept me focused... through the process and made sure I understood the laws and how they could be applied to my case. My divorce was a highly stressful event, Peter’s experience and compassion were key in my navigating thought it successfully. A calming presence in a turbulent sea.

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.
