Caring and Professional

Peter was recommended to me by a friend. I called his office and was immediately able to get an appointment with his office. His office staff was very knowledgeable and advised me what I should bring to the appointment. Once I was introduced to Peter I felt very comfortable with him from the star...t. We sat down and Peter spent over the next hour listening to my issues involving a restraining order my wife had signed against me. I’m permanently disabled and have mobility issues and was removed from my home of over 20 years where I spent the last several years basically in bed due to my illness. Peter got the restraining order dismissed and I immediately filed for divorce as my wife made it known that was what she wanted. From our first meeting regarding the divorce filing Peter was always worried if I was comfortable and that he could come to my home where I was staying if it was to much for me sitting in his office. Peter always had my best interest at heart and always made sure our meetings were meaningful and to the point so I didn’t have to keep coming back to his office. Well needless to say the issue with my wife was resolved without me even having to sit in a courtroom all day and testifying in front of the judge and I felt I received a completely fair and outstanding outcome to a horrible situation. I’m a retired LEO and also retired from my second career because of my disability as an upper management employee in Corporate Security for a major international business. Knowing and working for attorneys I felt Peter treated me with respect and was very professional throughout the entire divorce proceedings. Peter’s fees were extremely reasonable and worth every penny I paid him. I was relieved when the case was finally resolved and if it wasn’t for Peter I think the case would have continued to drag on for many more months and with me being ill was making my daily life miserable. If anyone ever needs a professional, personable and easily accessible attorney who has your best interest as his main objective Peter would be highly recommended by me. Thank you Peter you brought some stability back into my life so I can deal with my illness instead of worrying about what I was being put through.

Thank you for your comments. I strive to be as accessible and accommodating as I can depending upon the situation. With so much uncertainty in the process, I feel like I can control making myself available to my client and can fully explain what is happening and what should be expected. I am glad you felt that you were heard through the process and pleased with the outcome. I also strive to keep the fees as reasonable as possible in light of the circumstances. I am glad I was able help you get some stability back in your life and wish you the best moving forward.

The Best Advocate You Can Have

Pete Banfe was recommended to me by someone I have the utmost respect for, and I was not let down at any turn. He is everything you want your divorce attorney to be. Dignified, respectful, caring, and absolutely unwavering in his advocacy for you. I have nothing to gain from writing this other th...an publicly thanking Pete, and hopefully helping someone else make the right decision in what is undoubtedly a very stressful time in your life. I would, have, and will recommend Pete Banfe to anyone going through a divorce.

I am appreciative of all referrals, especially those from another attorney who has faith in me to help someone they value. I am also thankful to you for the trust you showed in me. I'm glad we were able to get your matter resolved by working together. You perseverance and collaboration in the preparation of your case helped us stay on the path to getting a very difficult matter successfully resolved. Thank you!

Fabulous attorney/Excellent firm

After a thorough/reasonably priced consultation, I hired Mr. Banfe to represent me in multiple post divorce proceedings. He did an excellent job at negotiating a settlement in a way that protected both my interests and the interests of my child. His calm manner was always reassuring, but he was... also quick to stand up firmly to the opposition. He understands how stressful court proceedings are in family matters. His attention to detail allowed me to consider all aspects of our position. He gave me information so I could make decisions, rather than pushing me in any particular direction. ( I have experienced that with other attorneys.) I have recommended him without hesitation to numerous people in need of representation in family law, and have also had occasion to recommend other members of his firm. If they don't work with a particular area of law, they know someone excellent who does. Mr. Bamfe always provides personal attention and I never had any difficulty getting ahold of him if I had a concern. (I have spoken to other people who have been represented by big firms that have great difficulty getting in touch with their attorney.) I look forward to continuing to work with Mr. Banfe in the future should the need arise. If you are looking for a strong advocate that will fight for your rights and keep a level head, I encourage you to contact Mr. Bamfe. I strongly recommend him without reservation. Thank you for everything Pete!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I appreciate the confidence you had in me and your recommendation means a lot. As you know, divorce is a very difficult process and often there are many uncertainties that go along with it. I always strive to be as responsive as I can to my clients so they understand what is going on and what are the next steps. I appreciate you noticing this. Best of luck to you!

Great attorney

Pete takes the time to review all the details regarding the case and develops a solid game plan for success. To summarize, my ex wanted continued payments that were not justified, subsequently, Pete got involved and reviewed all the facts. Pete's game plan was perfect and managed a successful outcome.... I've been using Pete for many years because his record of accomplishments is outstanding! If the case needs to go to court, he's exceptional as far as presenting all the facts and making his point. I highly recommend him and his firm.
