Pete B., made a typically devastating event in ones life, simple, and more importantly peaceful. His advice and commitment to my case, gave me ease and clarity to make the most effective decisions for my situation. He is hands down the lawyer to go to, if you want your family situation handled with p...rofessionalism and expert experience! He's trustworthy, kind, and helped me thru one of the worst things in my life so far like I was family!

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.

Best in South Jersey

To start, I've interviewed almost every attorney in South Jersey. At one point I opted to represent myself because I couldn't find someone I trusted to care as much about my case - as me. Until I met Pete ... Pete listened. Gave good advice. Followed up. Gave me insight into options. Gave me t...he perspective of the other attorney. The other party. The judge. The counselors. The admin court staff. There wasn't an angle Pete didn't leave out. He was empathetic. But firm. He would listen but tell you - stop whining - if you went too far on an issue that wasn't relevant to your case (obviously in a nice way - but often best to cut losses on things that don't matter). I truly wish I had Pete from the beginning. He's an incredible attorney, and extremely well versed in court proceedings and new jersey law. Happy to give a verbal referral for anyone that needs additional information. I've sent 3 friends his way, and wish I had retained his services sooner.

post settlement adjustment

Peter Banfe worked with me on my divorce over ten tears ago. As my children grew, concerns came to life that were unforeseen. Pete listened to my questions and concerns. He addressed each from a tremendous knowledge base, with great kindness and respectful professionalism. I highly recommend his serv...ices for any family law issues.
