Peter J Banfe Jr

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.

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.

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.
